Commerical Counter Task

About Commerical Counter Task

The Commerical Counter Task is a way for people who are curious about how many commericals they have been served. ***This task is highly dependent on the developers of the channel RCC is monitoring. If they embed the commercial within the streaming content then this task will not be able to tell what is a commerical and what is not. On Demand content within The Roku Channel or Music Videos on Vevo work very well.

Task Settings

  • Commerical Break Length in seconds
    • A free-text entry to help determine what should be considered a commerical break.

  • Command
    • A picker for the command. Do you want the volume up or down during a commerical break?

  • Name, Push Notification upon completion and Start Time
    • See common RCC task properites here.

FAQs

  • The task did not count the commericals during my commerical break, why?
    • RCC doesn't know specific information on what you are streaming. This task will make assumptions based on the length of the content you are watching. If the channel developer put the commericals as part of your main content, RCC will not know if it is a commerical or not. If you watch on-demand stuff on The Roku Channel, when you are in a commerical break look at your Device's Info, there you can see the content length is much shorter than your main content.
