The built-in automatic activation for Flash seems to be working fairly well, but most of the video I watch in my browser on the machine I'm running Caffeine on is Netflix, thanks to Pipelight making Silverlight video accessible. It would be nice to have a checkbox for Silverlight/Pipelight video alongside the one for Flash.

Right now I've got it set to disable the screensaver when Chromium is running, but I'm not sure that's working properly, and even if it did, it would disable it even if there's no video running.

A checkbox or automatic support would indeed be nice. In the interim, I've got Caffeine on the lookout for the process "pluginloader.exe" (found this process name by running "ps -efa | grep pipelight" in the terminal. Works okay (Ubuntu 13.10), but unfortunately Chrome doesn't seem to unload the process after I'm done watching, so Caffeine remains activated until I close out Chrome completely.
