The jellyfin app (self hosted video streaming) app on steam deck (installed via desktop mode->discovery as a flat pack) doesn’t seem to register as ‘playing’ with the os. The screen will dim after a few mins.

I’m ‘playing’ the jellyfin app as a non steam game in game mode.

I know I can disable screen dimming in the settings but is there a way to have it auto detect when a video is playing and prevent the screen from dimming?

    At least that’s promising. Please let me know if you did anything different.

    I just installed in desktop mode via discovery (the flat pack version I think). Then i added the ‘game’ to the steam menu and that was it. I launch the ‘game’ in steam mode.

    If there is something else you’re doing I’d love to know because I can’t find anything else on Google. Thanks.
