Media pc going to sleep during playback

[Marco3G 6]

Hi everyone

I notice that Win10 does not see Emby Theater playing as a reason to stay running. It just goes to sleep. Can this be helped?

And as a related question, what is the benefit of running Emby Theater as opposed to just connecting to the Web UI?

Hi, what version of Emby Theater are you running?

The ability to direct play more formats without transcoding. The download feature.

The one that can be downloaded today.

OK that's odd because we do tell the system to not sleep during playback. We are working on a new windows app though that will replace this app and will test this specific thing out. Thanks.

It may well be that somethings iffy with this box. It goes to sleep quicker than what I have configured in Win10. It works with the web client though, as it always has for Jellyfin so I'm good for the moment.
