KDE and Pipelight

I'm having an issue keeping my screen from going to sleep while using pipelight to play Netflix. On the wiki it stated that this is a Gnome3 issue but I'm led to believe it is an issue with Firefox or maybe even just the plugin itself. I installed devilspie and added the script from the wiki to no avail. I can even see devilspie running if I do a ps aux.

Any other workarounds? Even hacky ones are welcome.

Thanks! This will work for now. Trying to find what pipelight actually names the full screen window, I'll write a script to run those commands when fullscreen is detected/left.

Why not run them automatically when you start X?

Re: KDE and Pipelight

I'd prefer not to have dpms disabled all the time. For electricity and security reasons. I just need a temporary way until I can get something written to properly focus when in full screen. I'll post what I come up with.
