Ability to set time-out on profiles

Background:

When there are no profiles in Plex, a paused movie will sit paused for however long I leave it (at least 24 hours, anyway…). I really liked this about Plex, because my player takes forever to start up.

I set up profiles, and now a paused movie times out to the profile selector in a few minutes, and will then power down the player a few minutes later. I hate it.

Please add an option (can be an admin option) for the paused movie timeout, including “No Timeout”. Default it to 60 seconds and nobody should even notice the difference.

It’s your Blu-Ray player… You are lucky you can even get it to work. I’ve tried to get Plex to run on 2 BD players before and failed!!

Yeah - it looks like that’s the real problem. I’m going to switch to a Fire stick.

Early 2021 clean-up: implemented (server admin: Settings > [Server Name] > Network > Terminate Sessions Paused for Longer Than ...)
