I doubt our partners (including the developers on this forum) would like people to be able to data mine what their customers are watching on our platform - they could use it to compete against you.
Be more specific, RokuJoel - who are you replying to?
I doubt you meant my proposal, since i already addressed that: REP-NB1 asks for coarse granularity: at channel# level only. Like i said, DirecTV allows much more and they have by a magnitude (5-10x) more customers than Roku has and accordingly are threading with more concern.
I guess you were addressing RoomieRemote but that is somewhat irrelevant since because of the content variability and custom interfaces RokuCo do not have the technical ability to peek such fine-grained info over channel's shoulder.
We can however open a new topic and discuss how finer, more detailed information can be shared by individual channels, if they choose to do so. Say by listening on particular port and following common protocol so remote agents don't have to re-implement that per channel.
