Feature request: client (or at least mobile) "keep alive" option

[c-prompt]

My use case: I have a spare Android 13 mobile phone hooked up directly to a stereo system (plugged in via USB) that otherwise couldn't have music streamed to it. The stereo plays to speakers throughout my home. The stereo and phone stay on all the time. The only purpose of the phone is for an Emby client and the screen stays off all the time. Thus, no matter what room I'm in, I can use my primary mobile phone or laptop to play music on the Android 13 Emby client with Play To.

However, it appears the Android 13 Emby client times out (after 10 minutes?) when not in use. Thus, music won't play when I go to play music from another client with Play To. So I have to open the Emby app on the Android 13 phone to wake it up and then I'm able to use Play To.

It would be nice if the Emby client had a keep alive switch and/or you could set the number of minutes before the client times out. As a workaround for anyone who also has this use case, I use https://www.macrodroid.com/ to turn on the screen and then open the Emby app every 5 minutes.
