Switch Sleep functionality makes mention of "media content"

GN Version 5.0

Sleep Mode: "Suspend Auto-Sleep While Playing Media Content: Prevents auto-sleep from activating while media content is playing. If this option is disabled, the console will still go to sleep after four hours of media playback."

That's certainly an interesting tidbit in the Sleep settings. What media content do we know of right now? This doesn't refer to the playing of games. That leaves...videos on the eShop? Perhaps videos that are recorded by players once that functionality is added? It seems like this feature was included in anticipation of other video content being viewed on the system. We know that Netflix isn't going to be there day one, but there has been discussion of streaming services being considered for release later.
