Screen does not turn off on end-screen when automatic playback of next Episode is disabled

Hello,

I've been using my Android Tablet and Emby for a long time to watch shows when going to bed, and most of the time I fall asleep at some point. For that reason, I have disabled the automatic playback of the next Episode in the Emby settings.

There was an update a good while ago where the app stopped turning off the display of my tablet on the end screen (where you can click to watch the next episode). As a result, I would wake up in the middle of the night because of the light from the display, and my tablet was out of battery every day.

It got fixed at some point (I didn't report it at that time). However, with the recent update (I believe around the time the picture in picture feature was introduced) the bug came back and now it gets stuck on that screen again every night. 

I couldn't find any setting related to this, so I'm assuming it's a bug?

It says "Emby for Android 3.5.28" when I click on the user icon in the top right. I hope that's the right one.
