[Solved] Video player does not keep the screen on while playing

Hi guys. I made a simple app with the video player and uploaded a 1 minute video to it. I have my screen timeout set to 30 seconds for testing. The screen times out at 30 seconds when the video is playing. Unless i expand it to fullscreen mode. Is this the way it is? Should not the screen stay on when a video is playing regardless? Thanks for your help!
