RE: "Pause" in CinemaSix 1.0 beta

Sujal - 

I have noticed that if the stream is interrupted, even for a short period of
time, CinemaSix hangs it up and the Roku menu appears.  Is this 'timeout'
something you can control or is it something inherent to the HD1000.  If you
do have control over it I would suggest making it longer or perhaps user
adjustable.  In addition to the CinemaSix 'pause' causing the program to
shut down, I have seen the same thing by briefly pausing vlc (I was looking
for an alternative way to pause the program).  In fact, this might explain
why 'rotate' occasionally causes the program to shut down as well.
