How can I disable screen-saver Ubuntu Touch Saucy on my phone or tablet (Nexus 7) ?

I do play a internet radio streaming with the mplayer (from terminal application). Unfortunately the tablet stop play (and the screen gets black) after a while (30-60 seconds). Playback does continue when leave my bath, press the power button (wake up the system) and switch back the terminal application to foreground.

From this post: How can I force the phone screen to stay on

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo stop powerd

That works for me. But if powerd is stopped, the device won't suspend using the power button.

Or you can do this: # Run this in another terminal window and leave it running to # make sure display stays on for the tests: adb shell powerd-cli display on bright
