Well thats how sleep mode works, when no user activity is detected(mouse, touch or keyboard input), it goes in low powermode.
Video players usually send a signal (user32.dll SetThreadExecutionState) to keep the pc from going to sleep while playing, and exit the state when you stop watching. That way you can watch a movie for 2 hours and pc is not going to sleep. Don't know if MediaMonkey does that. I don't use sleep of hibernation mode on my pc, so don't know what default behaivor is.
Please try if this helps:
1) Go to the control panel and click Power Options.
2) Then click Change when the computer sleeps.
3) Click advanced power settings.
4) Click the plus + on Multimedia settings.
5) Click the plus + on When sharing media and make sure to choose Prevent idling to sleep under setting.
6) Click apply and then click okay.
If still does not work. Open start menu, type cmd.exe right click item open as administrator
copy and paste line below and press enter:
powercfg /QH >"%UserProfile%\Desktop\PowerPlanSettings.txt"
On your desktop is a file created with all your power settings, please copy paste the text here, so we can see how your pc is setup exactly for sleep/power settings.
