Listen section doesnt stay on

When Im trying to listen to games the app doesnt keep my screen on and it shuts the stream down. Also shuts down when I leave the app. I typically use this function when in driving. So its not safe for me to keep messing with it. It would be nice if the app kept the screen on or kept running the stream when not in the app, I.e. How Spotify works.
