Option to force / use Daydream from within the app #36

Open Frank-NL opened 8 years ago

Frank-NL commented 8 years ago

As I wrote on the Google+ community - daydream seems not to be activated always from within the app. FYI In Emma, the option is "Use screensaver"

Me: For some reason, when playing music Android TV (SHIELD in my case) won't use daydream. Since I use this on a TV I would like to prevent burn-in so daydream is quite essential. Emma for Spotify can activate daydream so can this be added? I like the UI way better than Emma but would not like the UI to be burned into my plasma forever :)

AKIS A. If you exit to lean-back launcher screen the daydream will activate. If you stay inside the app daydream often does not start. (Nexus Player, Android OS 6.0.1)

Me: Strange but everything is fine now, also in the app :) I set Daydream to activate in 5 mins and Stay awake on Music to off. Seems to work! ...but not always as you mentioned - from the app that is. Launcher is fine. So my request remains - an option to activate daydream from within the app. Thanks!

Thanks Frank for the feedback. I'll try to fix that when I get a chance

I can't find any docs on how to control this.

In the weekend I saw that the app actually explicitly keeps the screen on when open, which is why day dream doesn't work. It's a pretty simple fix.
