What happened? Google TV Experiment with the Netflix polarization function that asks you, or you still observe after you have been inactive for some time and it can quickly be available on your device.
- APK SEARDOWN from the Google TV Home (by Android Authority) shows the code that should ask users whether they are still watching.
- The message states: “I’m just registered. This channel will stop playing because you didn’t use remotely,” and asks: “You still look?”
- If the audience responds by choosing “keep watching”, playing will continue. Otherwise, the platform will stop playing and ultimately put your device into sleep mode.
Why is it important? A considerable number of users fall asleep by watching their TV (or any other streaming device), just waking up and realizing that the series or the movie continued to play after they fell asleep and their device continued to work throughout the night.

- The Google TV presentation, which is discussed, will not only save your internet, but also the disappointment that causes the elucidation of which episode you looked before falling asleep.
- It can also help you save energy and potentially extend your device service (especially if it is a projector).
- This feature can also give developers the ability to use Google TV advertising rather than implement your own.
Why do I care? This feature already exists in a popular application for Netflix streaming, where it appeared after 90 minutes of inaction and stops in play. However, the platform that was trying to accept it was first noticed.

- If you are the one who likes something to play in the background, this feature can be very annoying if there is no “don’t ask me again”.
- For those who have limited data restrictions, stopping unnecessary streaming can also prevent depletion of data distribution.
Well, what’s next? Google should spend some time by determining the threshold of inactivity, allowing users to adjust the feature either, as well as determine whether it only applies to channels (as mentioned in the message) or by applications. Ultimately, this will be the user feedback that forms the feature.
