Ok, but is there an automatic way? As i understand this, i have to manually start/stop these settings.

There's no clean way of doing this that I know of. I think the best you can do is have script running in the background that does things like check if VLC is running or checks if the focused window is fullscreen and then toggles Xfce Power Manager's presentation mode - that kind of thing. I go into this a little bit in this thread. There, it was about preventing locking with xautolock but it's the same principle.
