Set maximum idle time for a client

Users occasionally leave browser tabs open with a stream paused, idle for hours at a time. Maybe it was forgotten about, maybe the user got distracted and had to leave to do something, etc.

Throughout this time; the client is posting it's play progress to the server every 5 seconds, appearing as an active client to the server software preventing it from completing idle tasks like a restart for an update, as well as just appearing in the dashboard for admins looking to see if the server is idle and ready for maintenance or whatever else.

 

It would be nice to be able to set a limit for how long a client will sit idle/paused before the client itself will terminate the stream and stop posting to the server tying up resources needlessly. The server already remembers the play position, so the user can just resume when they actually return to the client.

Does this differ from the FR you created 3 years ago?

Shall we merge them?
