I notice in the screensaver preferences, the advanced tab, that a

you could use that? I haven't tried this, so don't know if it will
work.
I think you mean this setting:
$ gsettings describe org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay
The number of seconds of inactivity before the session is considered
idle.
Yeah, I guess I could use that to disable the screen saver, but was
thinking about something that would work automatically and inhibit it
only when the music is playing through HDMI for example.
I have this functionality with video players, e.g. Totem would prevent
turning off the monitor when I play a video on it. I am looking for
this functionality for music players and wondering if Spotify has a way
to do this.
