screen blank watching Netflix

Show all headers | View raw

Until recently I could watch Netflix with Chrome on Debian/Testing with no 
problems.  Some recent update (maybe of Chrome, maybe of Debian) broke this, 
now the screen blanker will enable during play.  I don't know which update as 
I have a long screen lock time (the laptop for Netflix isn't used for anything 
important and is in a secure location) and I don't often watch it for long 
enough without pausing to have it blank.  I considered setting a blank time of 
1 hour (longer than an episode of a Netflix show) as a work around.

I'm running KDE with sddm for logging in and the login session often runs 
nothing other than Chrome.  Any suggestions on where I could start looking for 
the cause of this?
