podcast shuts down after 10 minutes or perhaps bluetooth

[kqlnut]

I am running the podcast app and listening to hour long shows.
If I allow the screen to go dark (blank) after about 10 minutes the audio to the bluetooth announces disconnected.

However if I keep the screen active 100% of the time things work fine.

Though this burns through the battery unnecessarily.

What can I do to keep the bluetooth from being disconnected while the screen is blanked?

You can either disable suspend in the power settings or start the app this way:

Code:

gnome-session-inhibit --inhibit suspend gnome-podcasts

Edit: You may want to replace the gnome-podcasts command with the command for the app you are using in case it's a different one or with --inhibit-only to inhibit suspend generally (not just while a specified app is running).
