Question: what should one do if you’re not a frontend but still want to block shutdown while your app is in use?

Another way to ask this is what makes a frontend? I imagine you did this to sanitize the list of clients for the “play on…” list which is all to the good but leaves an empty space for clients who can’t render videos but do want to prevent the backend from idling out and going away.

Perhaps there’s a need for an “App” or “Relay” announce type which fits below Frontend and above Monitor.
