PC goes to sleep while Emby (Linux) is streaming a movie to Chromecast

[Prizm 0]

Any way to prevent the PC from going to sleep during streaming, besides turning off sleep/suspend in Linux? I couldn't find an option in the Emby server settings. This does not happen on Windows when using Emby, Plex, or a Jellyfin server (Windows will go to sleep when using any of these apps if there's no video streaming to another device).

I'm using Linux Bazzite (Fedora 40, Gnome 46), and the Emby server is version 4.8.8.0 (Flatpak).

Thanks

Hi, preventing sleep on Linux is something we need to look at. We’ve already done it for windows and macOS as you’ve noticed. Thanks.

Hi, were there any changes made to this behaviour in Linux?

Hi, no, not yet, sorry.
