I have noticed this too, and it bothers me, but I don't know how to fix it at the moment. The wake lock should be being released whenever the app goes into the background.

However, it clearly still keeps the screen on when the phone is locked, so I don't know.

That's weird. I hope you find a solution

I just pushed changes which should fix this issue. I used a different method for keeping the screen on which should only work when the app is in the foreground. You can download the nightly here to try it out: https://github.com/MarmadileManteater/FreeTubeAndroid/actions/runs/8680496645

nvm I actually found a problem with it.

Okay, now, it should be fixed in the nightly. (sry abt that 🙈) https://github.com/MarmadileManteater/FreeTubeAndroid/actions/runs/8680564516

It's working as intended on the two devices I have on me right now, awesome 👍
