[SOLVED] - Do Not Sleep if Media is Playing?

I am running Arch, using Gnome and GDM. Is there some way I can make the OS not sleep if there is media playing in the browser? Like, if I am watching Netflix or Amazon Prime?

Thanks

The jury is still out out but I may have been hasty in posting this. I'm watching a movie on Amazon Prime in Firefox fullscreen, and it has not slept yet. I am on battery. Can't recall if I've pressed any keys to reset the sleep timer.

I suppose I need to make a conscious effort to not touch anything, finish this movie, and report back.

Hmmmm... i Guess it just already works like that. I completed the movie and it never went to sleep. My last post was from my cell, and it's been over an hour. Marking this one as solved, I suppose.
