[Android] Video paused when switching off TV or going to HOME screen

Some weeks back, whenever I pressed the HOME button to get back to the Android TV HOME screen or when swichting off the TV screen, video playback was stopped. Some nightly changed that. Now it is being paused which in case of live TV via DVBViewer PVR Add-on means that timeshift recording is started, hammering the USB pen drive which is not what I want. Can this behavior be changed by the user or is the only way to achieve that by manually executing a stop before switching off the TV (or going to the Android TV HOME screen)?
