Click-through when using dreamtime as system screensaver

[Deleted User]

I like the dreamtime screensaver built into the app so much I made it my screensaver for the entire system.

This has resulted in an annoyance, or bug, which I am not able to work out how to fix in the code.

The screensaver does not 'absorb' the key input (remote button press) and so the app that is active behind the screensaver receives the input.

Result is blind clicking things in apps.

f.e. if you have Hulu open and the screensaver kicks in and you press Select to exit the screensaver it starts playing whatever is selected in Hulu

Alternatively you can use a direction button to avoid playing something but it is still blind.

If you find time it would be appreciated if you could look into capturing the input rather than passing it along to the backgrounded app.


Thanks

This is likely a platform issue because we explicitly opt-out of interaction in our daydream implementation.

I see, that might explain why I couldn't work out how to fix it in the code if it's not in the code to fix.

I will look into it deeper, compare to a different platform and see if I can work out what's happening.

Thanks again.

never mind - 'supposed' fix does nothing
