Love the control this gives.... but want to see if something could be added.

My biggest problem with my roku/plex system in my home is my autistic child will sit and play/pause/play/pause. Despite us telling her not to, she will keep doing it, (At times she stops the movie/cartoon at a funny frame and giggles from it.) While this doesn't damage anything too much (aside from a little more wear-and-tear on the remotes), we would like to actively discourage this behavior. Is there a way to monitor the active status of a Roku, whether it is playing or paused?

As far as I know, the API doesn't have any way to query the play/pause state and it doesn't have any type of event status. All it really supports are sending command to the Roku device.
