Testing API Additions

[Dzvon2]

IMO, it would probably be better to do this kind of check fully on the client rather than the server.  As you've realized, there is no server side tracking of a user's "idleness".  To even support this feature there would need to be some sort of client side support for the feature anyway and the client is perfectly placed to determine when the last user input was.  Doing the idleness tracking fully on the client also avoids the need for API changes.

But there should be a server side setting that enforces this on the clients if the intent is to avoid unnecessary usage.  Making it an optional client side setting defeats the intent of this kind of feature.

You know it's really funny you say that because originally, I did this client side, put up a PR for the android tv repo and was told it would get rejected because I should be doing the logic check for idleness server side and the client consumed the server side changes. Each client still will need to have their own screen implementation so I wasn't really sure how much of a benefit doing just the logic check server side was going to do. And by server-side setting, do you mean whether this screen would appear or not?
