Backdrops Running with Roku TV off?
Is there any way to keep Backdrops running on a Roku Ultra even with the TV off? What I'd like to do is program my Alexa with a routine that would turn on my lights and turn the TV on with Backdrops being displayed. However, every time the Alexa routine fires, the TV turns on just to the Roku home screen. I've tried asking Alexa to "launch Backdrops on Roku" but she just responds with, "Hmm I can't seem to do that." Anyone have any ideas?
Hey there! j_wells2005
Just a heads up: Backdrops won't run when the TV is off. The Roku Ultra is a streaming device, not a display unit itself; it depends on the TV being on to show anything, including Backdrops. There's no "always-on" mode for Backdrops that works without the TV being on.
