Are we able to disable screensaver using code?

Hi all,

I would like to disable the screensaver for the roku application. Can I actually do that using brightscript code?

Thank you.

    no. However, you can create a custom screensaver, or you can play a tiny video somewhere on the screen. The video playing will prevent a screensaver from turning on.
  • Thanks for the reply.

    Actually I do have a semi-transparent overlay on roScreen with double buffer. However, once the screensaver is closed, the transparent effect does not work anymore and whole screen completely blackout.

    I couldn't use video player because the application is used to play mp3 all the time. Therefore I would like to know if there is anyway to work around.
  • Please email me a code example that demonstrates the issue, jbraverman at roku dot com.
