    kpluck I have a Roku TV, and it does give me the option to turn off my display when listening to music (I've only tested it out using the Spotify app). When I cut off the display, my music still plays.

Thanks for the post.

Can you please clarify the issue you are experiencing? Are you trying to turn off the TV? Are you using a Roku TV or are you connecting a Roku device?

With more detailed information, we will be able to assist you further.


Thanks,

Would like to turn off picture display while listening to Spotify. Could do this in the past, but no longer does ROKU allow this function.

    They keep asking the same question over and over as if we haven't stated many times in this very thread what we want & are having a problem with. 

    It's a feature that they took away. I had recently purchased a Roku TV and took it back 2 days later because I can't turn off the display while having things play in the background.

    I ended up purchasing a Vizio TV which allows such a thing. I'm even replacing my Roku devices with Fire Sticks. Don't want to give the consumer what they want? Fine, no problem. I'll spend my money with someone who will give me what I'm looking for.
