So the app is running on your phone or you have a Roku app/channel that's displaying the slideshow or both? Is this just for your own use?
I'm the developer of the app. The app sends the pictures to the roku channel. The roku channel shows whatever pictures the phone app sends.
This is a released app and channel, not just for my personal use.

I'm still a little confused. It doesn't help that there's a channel called "The Roku Channel", but I assume that's not what you're sending the pictures to. There's a function to update the last remote key press timer, but it now appears to be undocumented, so use it at your own risk. It will also throw an error (not just a warning, like it should) in the Static Analysis report, so be prepared to explain why you're using it in the notes when you submit your update. Yours is the perfect case of why this function is necessary.
appmgr = CreateObject("roAppManager") appmgr.UpdateLastKeyPressTime() ' <- call with every photo change or periodically

That was our solution in the past but after our latest update we got an error on the package analysis because of that call.
Right now we are solving it by sending a key press with each new photo but that makes a sound, which isn't ideal.

I have recently updated channels while still using that function, so I'd give it a try. Just explain in the notes why you're using it.
