Re: Playing audio from within a screensaver
Kevin, I realize your comment was from 2010 and you probably won't get this, but I have to ask. If it caused an issue and you shortcut it to be able to get version 2.6 out to the public, what is the reasoning behind not making it happen over the next 15 years? Does Roku not think there would be a demand?
To be honest, I hadn't even thought about it until I saw the one screensaver. Then it dawned on me that since I have to fall asleep to the TV, a screensaver with white noise or rain sounds or whatever would be a godsend to help keep me from waking up in the middle of the night as I often do. And I would definitely pay money to have it. If Roku implemented it, they could allow developers to make them while profiting off of the sales. As an entrepreneur, this is a no-brainer. Roku could limit the time frame under which they allow development (in case sales weren't high enough and they wanted to shut it off). Then, advertise it has a limited time feature (like Taco Bell does when they develop something new to eat). If it takes off and works for the company on a profitability and logistics basis, then run with it. If it doesn't, kill it. It really should be as simple as that. I understand it may be a complex technical problem to solve, but the right people should be able to solve it quickly, if you wanted it to happen.
