Settings get/put system screen_off_timeout…

Question

Hi:
I have tried to turn off the sleep setting on two of my fire stick 4K devices.  One worked fine, the other returns null for the screen_off_timeout before and after I ran the put command.  I am setting both settings now.

Thanks

I wanted to update you in this process.  I rebooted the fore stick by pulling the plug and plugging it back in.  Now the timeout settings are working!

Thanks for the reply.  I have three fire 4K sticks.  One comes back on to the "are you still watching this", when I select "yes" it goes back to the app I was on, displays old content for a few seconds, and then start the current TV show.  I think that is better!  The other 2 turn on to the home screen.  The one in particular, the two settings are saved correctly.

So, did it not work for that one device?  Does it continue to go to sleep and go back to the home screen when you wake it up?

Glad it worked, Alan!
