I did not personally test it, but the rule that adds the inactive tag is
usually this from your categorize.cfg:

> $idle > 60 ==> tag inactive

You could try extending it (again, I did not test this myself as I don't
currently have a machine with arbtt on it within reach)

> current window $program /= "mediaplayer" && $idle > 60 ==> tag inactive

first part matches only if title is not "mediaplayer" (replace this with
whatever program name you'd like excluded).

Best wishes, good luck
