Hi,

I'm not in community list, so I didn't know, but I there are more
examples for programs, which should blank for the one use case and
should not blank for an other one.

Let me take your video player: most video players are audio players,
too and you won't need the display in audio mode.

Please be aware of the fact, that the enabled display sucks really
*a lot of* power, so false positives are better than positive falses.

In short: I don't think a whitelist of applications will really do
it.

Don't forget one can already change the way of the application
start, so that display is not blanked. This could be done in a 5
lines python script by first requesting display resource, then
starting the desired app (given via argv) and finally release the
display after the desired app stopped.
