Testing API Additions

[TheDreadPirate]

You know it's really funny you say that because originally, I did this client side, put up a PR for the android tv repo and was told it would get rejected because I should be doing the logic check for idleness server side and the client consumed the server side changes.

 

I'm not a dev, so if the dev said it would be better to do server side checks, so be it.

And by server-side setting, do you mean whether this screen would appear or not?

Yes.  If I was concerned about users running Jellyfin non-stop while they are sleeping or not around, having it be an optional client side setting defeats the intent of having this feature.  Having it be a server side config that all clients must implement is in line with the intent of this feature request.  If the server doesn't have this feature enabled, it could still be an optional client side config if you're the type of person that falls asleep to familiar content.

For the more technical portions of your question, perhaps join the Jellyfin discord/matrix chat and post in the development chat?
