AmazonBasics Fire TV "TV" shuts down automatically every 15 min or so (if I don't interact with it)

I have a 32 inch amazon basics brand FireTV "TV". If we are watching youtube, Jiohotstar etc on it, there is no issue. TV keeps working continously.
But if I am watching something on VLC player, the TV will shut off after around 15 - 20 minutes if I don't do any operation on the TV.
Hence, I have to, every 15 minutes, press play / pause (basically interact with TV) to make sure this doesn't happen.
This is NOT screensaver kicking in as I have already turned it off.
I have to try MX Player and see if the same issue happens but it seems the TV doesn't recognize that video is playing when it is on VLC player and hence it shuts itself off.

Is there any solution?
