Sleep Timer!

&nbsp;

Especially for the Roku app (and presumably PHT & the android TV/Amazon Fire app, if not all of them) it would be awesome to be able to set a sleep timer to match my TV. Currently, If I'm watching a 2 hour movie, and set my sleep timer for 30 minutes, it plays all 2 hours...chewing up bandwidth & leaving me unsure of where i stopped. If I could set a sleep-timer to automatically stop what was currently playing after a fixed time, that would save bandwidth and make viewing the rest later way simpler :)
