Hi,
Is there a way to detect if the TV is shutoff while a video is playing? I would like to stop the video if that occurs.
Thanks,
Kevin
no, but what Netflix does is every few hours it will pop up a messagebox to see if you are still there – at least on their PC webplayer.
You could certainly waste a lot of bandwidth that way. There is no way for the roku to know if a tv is turned on – at least not when connected through analog cables. There may be some capability (or future capability) with HDMI since that is a digital connection – I’m just not sure if it supports two-way.
I have thought about that with my channel I’m envisioning. I don’t think I would allow more than an hour to play without some user intervention, even if it was only a popup “Hey, you there?” as the other poster suggested.
