I did a quick bit of research and found someone that says that it should prevent the screensaver *when the cursor is over a playing video*. So, making the video full screen or placing your cursor over the video while it is playing, should do the trick.
If you are already doing this, then you'll need to use the alternatives you found, or use something like 'caffeine' to at least make it easier. If you are like me and just habitually move the cursor out of the video area, then this may be what you need to get the results you want.
