LOL an attempt to crack down on streamers? Never seen this before.

Basically, if you're "inactive" for five minutes, you get a little red pop up saying your connection will terminate if you don't click on it. Pfft.

What do you mean inactive?

As in not watching anything?

Because I've had it on since 9 this morning and it hasn't popped up.

Five minutes? That's B.S.

I wanted to hook the laptop up to my telly with a VGA and watch the feed on that. I don't wanna get out of bed every five minutes.

Especially if I am after paying for it.

I *think* it said five minutes. Will have to wait for it to pop up again. Clever, but ****ing irritating.

I dunno how it determines inactivity. I suppose if you haven't moved your mouse or clicked on anything I guess.

I think that will be exactly what it is, a crack down on streamers.

The feed you are watching is likely a streamed feed from a host. I bet you can't reset the inactivity alert either? The leech will need to reset it on their end. It's nothing to do with inactivty on your end.

It's done this to me. Clever, but is going to be irritating and unfair for those of us that just want to sit in bed and watch it.
