Flex draws mpv's picture itself, so mpv's own screensaver blocking never applied. Videos now keep the screen and computer on, music keeps the computer on; pausing or stopping lets it sleep again. Windows uses SetThreadExecutionState, macOS caffeinate, Linux systemd-inhibit.

Fixes the TV PC going to sleep in the middle of a video.
Flex draws mpv's picture itself, so mpv's own
stop-screensavernever applied. Now, while something is playing (not paused):Pausing or stopping lets it sleep normally again.
SetThreadExecutionState(what media players use)caffeinate(-wties it to Flex, so it can't outlive a crash)systemd-inhibitaroundcat(exits when Flex's end of the pipe closes)If the helper is missing, Flex logs one warning and carries on.
Tested: builds and clippy on macOS, Windows target checks; the macOS
caffeinateflags hold both sleep and display assertions (pmset -g assertions). Not yet tried on the TV PC or meownix.
