App request: currently playing title and time.

Jump to solution

It would be great if the Roku app was able to show what title was currently playing and the timeline of the current media being played.

This would be helpful to see how much time is left while you’re not by the TV and to make sure of what media is being scene potentially by kids.

I know Apple TV has this feature! I have a TCL 5 series from 2019 I’m not sure if this feature is possible with that TV but in general it’s a helpful feature to have!

@Ianamer-

On many Roku channel apps, pausing the play displays a time line showing how much time remains on the program.  Many of them also show the program name.

This is a function of how the channel provider programmed the Roku version of its channel app.
