Hi webOS TV team,

We build webOS TV app named Vidio, basically it’s a streaming platform. And at the moment we are preparing to broadcast content that need to be protected from rooted device. So rooted device should not be able to access the content.  
However, we found that there are many ways to root webOS TV device like [this](https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/getmein-one-time-rooting-jailbreaking-tool-for-webos-lg-tvs.3887904/) and [this](https://github.com/RootMyTV/RootMyTV.github.io). But we can’t find a way to detect the rooted devices. Can you enlighten us about webOS TV rooted device detection?  
Thank you!
