I have verified that the bug is not already awaiting release

Yes

What was the Problem?

The default time the screen will sleep is 20 seconds. audiobookshelf will keep the screen awake until the player stops.

I've tried other audiobook apps and they do not appear to have this issue.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Start an audiobook
  2. Place iPhone in charge to start Standby mode

What was Expected?

The screen should sleep after 20 seconds.

Phone Model

iPhone SE 3rd gen

Phone OS

IOS 18.3.2

Audiobookshelf App Version

iOS App - 0.9.79

Installation Source

Testflight

Additional Notes

Web Client works as expected.

After using this for awhile, I actually prefer this behavior. Closing my own issue.
