Blanking seems acceptable if your video is running in some window
somewhere, but if it's running fullscreen then it sounds like a bug.
I recommend you report it as such (against the specific video player
you're using).

I suspect the behavior may depend on the DE you're using and things like
that, so you'll probably want to include that in your description of
the bug.
