FireTV 4K Max sleep when Plex plays music

After Plex has been playing some music (maybe 20 minutes) the FireTV 4K Max goes into sleep mode. The TV screen goes blank. Then I have to wake up the FireTV 4K Max, but it acts like Plex is not running - but the music never stopped.

Has anyone figured out to fix this?

I am using Plex on FireTV 4K Max streaming music from a local file server with the latest versions of the Plex app and Fire TV 4K Max.
The screen saver has been disabled on the FireTV 4K Max.

My guess is if the Plex developers were to move the screen image every few minutes while playing music, this won’t happen?

My old Fire tv didn’t even have the option to turn it off. It was 5,10, or 15 minutes and that was it

I used to use this but you have to sideload it

Logically they should be doing this anyway to avoid screen burn-in. I don’t think it’s the cause of the Fire Stick going to sleep, though.
