Describe the bug
Calibration Mode Triggers Screen Saver During Video Playback

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
When AlDente is in Calibration Mode and the laptop is plugged in, macOS follows the scheduled Lock Screen → "Start Screen Saver when inactive" setting, even during video playback. This causes the screen saver to activate unexpectedly, interrupting the viewing experience. This will not happen when the laptop is not plugged in.

Expected Behavior
The screensaver will not be triggered when a video is playing.

Additional context
Believe it is due to "When Sleep is disabled by AlDente, the screensaver now works as expected." update in 1.31.
Not happening in 1.30
