Resi playback remaining roadmap
Understand why Resi decoder time remaining is still unavailable in Church Remote and how it differs from a separate service countdown.
A real decoder feed is still needed
The existing Resi Play/Pause connection does not provide a verified playback-time feed. Church Remote deliberately does not invent a remaining-time value, assume a hidden endpoint or start a countdown when Play is tapped. A connection indicator alone cannot supply playback duration.
What a future source must report
Reliable remaining time needs direct time data or a verified calculation from duration, playback position and state. Buffering, seeking, pauses, stopped playback and end-of-content must be reconciled. A separately configured service countdown is useful but must stay labeled as that countdown, not decoder time remaining.
Current options
Use the Resi decoder’s own supported interface to confirm playback. For a service/speaker clock, use an existing ProPresenter or other supported timer source in Church Remote and name it for its purpose. Those timers do not become live decoder feedback.
Next validation
We need authorized decoder hardware, a supported timing interface and firmware-specific checks before adding app Home, Watch or persistent Resi countdown claims. Send the model and desired display through Contact & Updates without credentials. No release date or universal decoder timing support is promised.
