How to keep the screen on when displaying photos?

I have a phone app that is sending a photo slideshow to the Roku however the screensaver kicks in after a bit of time. How can I make it so the screensaver timer resets each time I update the photo? ...

If RMP v5.0 reappears without the problem of the screensavers interrupting slideshows (they don't interrupt video streams), maybe you could check yours again without the workaround. FWIW.

I suspect if it reappears without the problem then they implemented the workaround.  😄

Have you considered making your channel use the screensaver to display the photos?

    No I hadn't. My channel can play videos and music as well, would I still be able to do that?

      Screensaver should not activate when video player is playing full screen.  Audio player should remain playing when screensaver is activated.

        I'm not actually the Roku developer, I'm the app developer that sends the contect. So I can send the right info the Roku developer, what is this screensave stuff and how does it get controlled? it would need to show whatever images my app sends. 

        Thanks.
