Plex web app prevents screensaver and display sleep with nothing playing

Hi

I am finding that even with nothing playing in the web app, if it is the active tab in Chrome on Windows, it prevents the screensaver from starting, and the display from sleeping.
If I switch to any other tab the display sleeps correctly.
As soon as I tab back, it stop sleeping again.

Possible bug? Seems as though the tab is triggering a Windows display video wake lock, shown in powercfg -requests.
Don’t think it should be doing that?

I’ve got the same thing, happens ONLY when plex is not playing something, if you’re in the middle of something and pause it, the screen sleeps as usual, but if plex has nothing playing… it’ll keep your display on 24/7.

Doesn’t happen with FireFox, just chrome…
