Stop screen automatically dimming

Wed Jan 13, 2021 12:06 am
I'm watching videos and the screen automatically dims (not locks). This seem unrelated to any of the energy saving settings which I've configured to give minimal interruption to what I'm doing. It happens when I'm using AC power with Screen Brightness, Dim Screen, Screen Energy Saving and Suspend session all deselected.

Any thoughts?

There is some serious lack of information here: exact Plasma version, graphic system and drivers, application used to play the videos, etc.

FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

Sorry, it was a bit uninformative. Anyway, it seems to have fixed itself. Thanks.
