The client count is still a problem. Since I wrote 3 days ago I haven't detected the computer going to sleep at all. I do not know why it did that day. Will continue to investigate. In the meantime, having a UI show me what clients are active would really help.
I did some more investigation. I unplugged my FireTV and rebooted the computer for a fresh start.
summary
WebUI, recording, and Android app behave properly with respect to Busy and Client Count.
Amazon FireTV 4K continues to run in background keeping the client count = 1.
Force stop the Channels app allows Client Count = 0.
Drilling down to force stop every time I watch the client on FireTV is cumbersome.
I request either
- The app force stop itself when not in foreground
- be smart enough to know when in background to decrement Client Count
- Provide an exit/quit button in the app that will close it

Used utility app to view all apps running in background. Channels was.
Went to settings, apps, manage, and force stop Channels app

Will fix for next build. This is how the app behaves on Apple TV, iPhone, android tablets etc
This issue is fixed in today's 2.1.1 release.
Yes it is! Thank you very much!
