Yes, it does. roScreens do not allow the use of the standard screensaver (only a black out), so if you have a custom one, you must keep the Roku non-idle. The only way to do that is to use ECP to send a keypress. Ignoring the use of a custom screensaver, another issue is a custom slideshow written using the 2D API where one must also inhibit the standard black screensaver. As you can imagine, there are other things that may use the idle time of the Roku to fire event, such as a lock screen.

Is it using the external IP for that? If so, try `localhost` instead.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I am not using the external/public IP. It makes sense to block access to the public IP, but they are also blocking access to localhost/127.0.0.1. It seems they just disable or completely block port 8060. Other ports, such as 8085 continue to work.
