Help Keep screen on while watching video?

Got my GS3 about a month ago and love it so far. I came from a Droid X so its a huge upgrade. One issue I'm having is the screen does not always stay on while watching streaming video online. This mainly happens while watching live sporting events. I used Dolphin browser on the Droid X and it worked fine, but Flash is not supported in Dolphin anymore so I'm using the stock browser. I downloaded the latest Flash for android from Adobe's site and am able to play the video but the screen turns off after a minute. Is there a setting somewhere to make the screen stay on? I know about the one where the camera watches your eyes to keep the screen on but that doesnt work because I dont keep the phone within view of my eyes all the time.
 
Welcome to the forum.

I'm not sure about the stock browser. I can help you get flash working on dolphin though which doesn't have the problem on the s3. You need to download dolphin 8.5.1 apk and then turn on flash. You can then go to the play store and update dolphin and you'll have the latest version with flash enabled.
 
Settings / Display I think. But I also think the maximum timeout you can configure is 30 minutes. I just sometimes tap the screen to stop it from switching off.

I read this before and tried but when I updated to the latest dolphin thru the play store my flash was disabled. I will try it again maybe it will work this time.
 
Max timeout is 10 mins but ive never had that problem and i dont use smart stay.
I use Mx Player as my default media player so maybe try that?
