Creating Timeout Messages

I am new to the development game and I am creating a Roku Channel for our church but I am trying to figure out what code I should created in the roOneLineDialog component so that when the live stream is not active and a specified time interval is reached it will display a message letting the individual know we are currently not streaming.

According to Roku I can make sure a message appear programmatically after the live stream times out after a specified interval but I do know how and can't find any example.

Re: Creating Timeout Messages

Did you every figure out how to do this? I'd like to do this too. After a user tries to access our live stream when we're not streaming live, and the channel attempts to load the stream but then returns to the play option, I would like a message to pop us that says "You can tune in for the live broadcast on Sunday mornings at 10AM CST".

Thanks!

Re: Creating Timeout Messages

Basically, what you need to do is just react to the isRequestFailed() event, return a value indicating failure from your video playback function, and if you see that value in the calling function, then display a dialog box to the effect of "sorry, live stream is not available at this moment".
