as I can show a message every 20 seconds

In your main loop, have a timer that, when over 20 seconds (or 20000 milliseconds), calls the text function and resets itself to 0.

clock = CreateObject(“roTimespan”)
clock.Mark()

(WITHIN LOOP)
IF clock.TotalSeconds() >= 20
showMyText()
clock.Mark()
END IF

the code within Main() but does not work

sub Main()
timer = CreateObject(“roTimespan”)
timer.Mark()
print timer.TotalSeconds()
m.RegistryCache = CreateObject(“roAssociativeArray”)
categories = LoadConfig()
ShowPosterScreen(categories, “Menu”, “”, 0, 0)
if timer.TotalSeconds() >= 20
showMyText()
timer.Mark()
end if
end sub

It has to be within a repeating loop, such as :

sub Main()
   timer = CreateObject("roTimespan")
	timer.Mark()
	print timer.TotalSeconds()
   m.RegistryCache = CreateObject("roAssociativeArray")
	categories = LoadConfig()
	ShowPosterScreen(categories, "Menu", "", 0, 0)
WHILE TRUE
    if timer.TotalSeconds() >= 20
       showMyText()
	    timer.Mark()
    end if
END WHILE
end sub[/quote]

but it looks like I have not run me showExpirationScreen ()


sub Main()
    timer = CreateObject("roTimespan")
	timer.Mark()
    m.RegistryCache = CreateObject("roAssociativeArray")
	
	'checks if the account exists
    if ValidateLinkingDevice(GetDeviceESN()) = true
	
	categories = LoadConfig()
       ShowPosterScreen(categories, "Menu", "", 0, 0)

	  while true
          if timer.TotalSeconds() >= 20
            showExpirationScreen()
            timer.mark()
          end if
	  end while
    else
       ShowLinkScreen()
    endif
end sub

I’m not sure how you will specifically work it in, only the general concept. I’m not familiar with most of the regular video channel stuff like ShowPosterScreen() or showExpirationScreen()

I use this code to disable the other

if timer.TotalSeconds() >= 20
showExpirationScreen()
timer.mark()

end while

To put this script works but I disables all other functions

while true
if timer.TotalSeconds() >= 20
showExpirationScreen()
timer.mark()
end if
end while
