Plex Media Player on MacOS does not prevent Screen Saver from coming on when media is being played on full screen mode

When playing a video on full screen mode in Plex Media Player, after the configured time the macOS screensaver will turn on even though the video is playing. This doesn’t happen during playback on browsers or youtube. Screensaver is prevented when media is being played in the browser. But the Plex media player does not do that. Which means that watching a video longer than the configured screen saver time is not possible without disabling the screensaver.

Also when watching a video on the player, the cursor does not auto hide like it should in any media player.

Please fix this!

The version number you gave for the player doesn’t fit neither Plex for Mac, nor the actual Plex Media Player, nor the Plex Web app.
So which player are you actually using?
