Thanks, unfortunately I'm working with roVideoScreen and no roVideoPlayer

Just out of curiosity, what would you do with the video duration on an roVideoScreen?

I'm working on an analytics plugin that determines the % of video watched. To do that, I need to know the total duration. Rather than report it in the metadata, it would be nice of the SDK exposed it.

Sorry for the stupid question, but do I need to have SDK version 5 on my PC to use GetPlaybackDuration() (if so when will it be available/where can I get it)?

My Roku has SW version 5.0 (Build: 7070) but whenever I try to call GetPlaybackDuration I'm getting the following error:
Member function not found in BrightScript Component or interface. (runtime error &hf4) in .../pkg:/source/xyz

Thanks for your help

Sorry about that, it looks like our documentation is a little ahead of our releases this time. That function is not available in 5.0 but will be available in a future release.

Thanks for the clarification, Mark!
Is there a rough estimate when the function will be available?

Thanks again!

I guess not...
