So I’m trying to get with the program and am re-building my channel with the 2dAPI. One of the most obvious problems is the fact that screensavers won’t run over a roScreen, so the screen just goes black. My experience as a user before i knew the technical cause was that something was “broken” - either the channel or the RokuOS, neither of these is very good from a dev or manufacturer perspective. Now I am finding that with the exception of audio, which continues playing, no processing seems to occur when the screensaver kicks in - “springboard” screens don’t update, “slideshows” don’t advance and whatever else I haven’t discovered yet. I 'm wondering if Roku has any plans to address this as it really makes the system appear half-baked, and there is an obvious push from Roku to drive devs toward the 2DAPI. Of course I can send remote key-presses all the time to keep the screensaver from kicking in, but thats a bad solution at best.
