Is there any way to capture the * button on the roSpringboardScreen? There's no isRemoteKeyPressed() event or IsInfoButton() event.

There is not currently a way to get the info button keypress on the SpringBoard screen. Thanks for pointing this out, as I agree it would be useful.

BTW, there is an isRemoteKeyPressed() event, it just doesn't fire on info button keypresses... You can enable other keypress events with:

Void AllowNavLeft(Boolean isAllowed)
Void AllowNavRight(Boolean isAllowed)
Void AllowNavRewind(Boolean isAllowed)
Void AllowNavFastForward(Boolean isAllowed)

I'd have sworn that there was, because I had code in there to handle it, but I guess I never actually tested it. Yes, it would be nice, please. 🙂

Sorry, yeah, I know there's an isRemoteKeyPressed() event, I was specifically referring to it not being triggered by the info button. I was actually hoping there was an undocumented AllowInfo(Boolean isAllowed) that I could use.

Roku -

Any update on this, as to whether we can expect this in a future update? Would really be helpful to have.

But knowing either way would be good too, as in deciding how to create specific options on the play screen.

Thanks
Just a friendly "bump"

Wondering if there has been any update to this in the 3.x code?

In the 3.x code, i now here the "blip" when pressing "*" on the springboard screen, but no event?

bump...

Ok, just wondering, and would only take a few seconds of someones time to post a response.

Does ROKU have any intentions to ever making this work? Would be nice to actually have the button event in this scenario, but never actually get a response as to whether it will be implemented?

I'll try and track someone down to take a look at this thread again here shortly.

Spoke to Kevin a moment to alert him to it. He's a little busy at the moment so be patient.

This is not implemented yet.... It's not scheduled for any of the release in the next couple weeks.
