Re: roVideoPlayer and roVideoScreen timeout issues on 7.5 firmeware

Interesting! So can i venture a guess that everything that implements ifHttpAgent is (d)effected?

I immediately went there too when I noticed what implemented it, but after limited testing, that doesn't seem to the case. The roTextutreManager and roTextureRequests look unaffected as well as the roUrlTransfer. The other listed we don't use, so I can't say. It seems though that Roku may have just set the "player" components with the default 5 second timeout, but I'll defer to them as they are the only ones that can provide which components now have a 5 second timeout.

The timeout change has the limited scope of the component.

Sorry, that's a bit unclear...
You mean that only the instances from roVideoScreen/roAudioPlayer/roVideoPlayer have their default timeout shrunk to 5 sec?
And on the flip side, all other ifHttpAgent implementors now too have SetConnectionTimeout() available but with a different default?

The change only affects the videoplayers use of http agent. All other users of httpagent are not affected.

It also affected the roAudioPlayer. I assume 7099 has the timeout fix? Haven't tested yet since we've since added the workaround. Will have to verify later.
