[Issue]: Dimming timeout #1553

Describe the bug

I having issue with the app regarding the screen fading black after a couple of minutes while mirroring another screen.

I'm using an old Samsung S8+ to run moonlight and so far I searched, it has this anti burn-in screen dimming function which low the the brightness near zero and softlock the screen (swipe undo it).

The device screen is broken so I'm using wireless peripherals and TV screen as sort of TV box.

Thought the dimming was bc of screen absence of touch but YT works fine regardless.

Attempts:
adb prompt with some touch command, Keep Screen On app.

Barged into moonlight/sunshine and couldn't find any option that prevent thy problem.

With that said, I assume it's majorly Moonlight related issue and I wonder if someone can help me or request the devs to add some feature to prevent this behavior.

Steps to reproduce

Run moonlight; Leave it be for some minutes.
