roDeviceInfo Issues

I noticed that when using roDeviceInfo, these parameters come back incorrectly on Roku 3, v5.2 build 3267.

1. IsHDMIConnected() always returns true, even if the HDMI cable is disconnected. I have a Roku 2XS and it will report false if not connected.

2. GetDisplayMode() always returns 720p, even if the display device and display type are set to 1080p. My Roku 2 XS does the same.

Regarding #2, I'm trying to create an Image Canvas of photos based on the display resolution. Many more images could be displayed as a mosaic on 1080p.

Pretty sure the only thing the Roku displays at 1080p is video. Everything else is 720p, even if set to 1080p. Had the same issue with slides.

That makes it easier then - just design the canvas for 720p. Thanks!
