IOS emby server offline - not loading download content

[HairyBizRat 21]

I downloaded an audiobook from my emby server to listen to on my iphone. I have my server connected to a UPS that powers it down every night at midnight and powers it backup at 8am (no need wasting power if no one is using it) however i happened to be on my way to work earlier and tried to listen to my audiobook and cant. When i open emby on my iphone it tried to connect to the server and stays like that for a long time. Eventually like well over 3 minutes or so it goes offline and i can access the downloaded content. Is there a way to change the timer to a shorter duration?
