You'll see two options in the Player App Menu, turn on "Re-launch app if it is closed" and "Autostart app on device startup." 

Menu-1

With these switched on, the app will restart after a 90 second delay if it's closed or if there is a power outage. The delay is there incase you need to quickly access the device settings. If you need more time, simply turn off "Re-launch app if it is closed."

Don't forget to turn "Re-launch" back on to help keep your content front and center.
