Tech query: problems viewing videos on Scooploop App
This query was prompted by posts to the Scooptube group...
I usually end up watching the videos posted to Scooploop on my Android mobile. My mobile has a 30-second timeout on the display (if it doesn't detect a touch input), after which the screen locks. Watching a video on the embedded video widget on Scooploop, and after a number of seconds I find the screen fading and then black and locked.
The YouTube app, or its website in a mobile browser, manages to override the timeout, so that videos can be watched uninterrupted.
Is there anything that the Scooploop app can do to inform the device that it should keep the display active while the video is running?
(I know there are at least two workarounds -- poking the screen periodically, or changing the timeout, for instance -- but that's really not the point!)
