If you run kded5 from console PowerDevil should print debug output like "vlc
requested inhibition" and then "enforcing inhibition" but if battery lists the
inhibition I'm rather clueless as to why it still turns off the screen.

Thanks, Kai. Well, I have no idea about it then. I bet I wait till I get a more
consistent versioning state. I do use Debian Sid/Experimental packages + self
compiled KF5 from some weeks ago (in order to use self-compiled KDEPIM). I
think I wait till Qt 5.6.1 arrives in Debian with more up-to-date KF5 + Plasma
5 packages and a new recompile of the self-compiled stuff (or even just using
packages). And see from there. I do not have this movie watching scenario every
day, so… it can take some time for me to gather more data. What I would be
interested in would be how I can find out more about why it wouldn´t work? Any
logs or debug tools I can run in such a case?

This works now when I disable both powermanagement and screen locker.

Of course it would be nice if it detects VLC playing a video, but thats
probably something to report with VLC developers to tell Plasma to suspend
screen blanking (suspending locking… might be a security issue, if any app can
easily do that).

Could it be that some driver or low level service is turning off the screen? 

Can you run qdbus --system --literal org.freedesktop.login1
/org/freedesktop/login1 org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.ListInhibitors and see
whether "PowerDevil" is listed there?
