How to prevent ScreenSaver while playing live Audio

Archived

Hi,

One of the Screens in our app is a live radio stream player for our radio station.
The screen constantly updates with which show and track is playing.

We would rather not have the screensaver kick in while the Audio node is playing, thinking the app is idle.

Is this possible?

m.player.disableScreenSaver = true

Hi.

Thanks. But that field is for a Video node, not an Audio node.

Very confusing why this field wouldn’t also be available for an Audio node, since I’ve never had to set it for our Video player, as the screensaver never kicks in while playing video anyway.

I assume my only option is to use an ‘invisible’ Video node?

It works on the audio node too. Roku has documentation wrong. Try it and see for yourself.

Hi.

Hmm , I did try it earlier, but got the error:

Warning occurred while setting a field of an RoSGNode
– Tried to set nonexistent field “disablescreensaver” of a “Audio” node

And I just tested it again and the screensaver still kicked in.

Using an invisible Video node for our audio stream seems to work just fine. :slightly_smiling_face:
