Currently, downloads stop whenever the screen turns off or the app is moved to the background. This makes it very difficult to download larger files unless I keep the screen on and Plex open in the foreground, which is inconvenient and drains the battery.
It would be extremely helpful if Plex could allow downloads to continue in the background or when the device screen is off, similar to how other media and file apps handle background transfers.
Is this feature planned for a future update? If not, I’d like to request that it be considered, as it would greatly improve the usability of Plex downloads on mobile devices.
Thank you for your hard work and for considering this improvement.
