> my understanding this parameter only affects the alpha of the image, do you guys use it in other scenarios ?

I use reversed/white graphics, and use it to assign a color in addition to the alpha at runtime. So, I'm using it all the time.

Yeah, it's a roScreen.  SetMessagePort works. This thing is from 2014, you used to be able to use either ( never that clear on why there were two different ways).
I'll look forward to the RGBA fix.

/brs/lib/brsEmu.min.js:33 source/Main.brs(11,25-26): 'SetPort' is not a function and cannot be called.


I've made a stripped-down thing, with stuff commented out, and got all the way to drawobject, so I'll have to wait for that one.

I've gotten one channel to show the splash screen,  and then nothing after. It's got about 20 errors like this: index.ts:156 source/mediarsstoolkit.brs(175,35-36): Unexpected character '@' g @ index.ts:156 and one of these: index.ts:156 source/main.brs(23,4-19): Attempting to retrieve property from ...

I was under the impression that an animation-tick and one pass through the event loop were the same thing, so you could at least store that tick-# in the sprite user-data and access it. I'm not aware of any other way to know it, but I don't use the compositor much.

Man, that is just rude.

not, you could also use ECP while audio is playing to send a keypress from within the app every 59 seconds or so, that will prevent screensaver. Mercifully, this trick has been replaced with the  appmanager.UpdateLastKeyPressTime()  trick. you can also use  appmanager.GetScreensaverTimeout()  to fi...

I believe Roku has not yet exposed that billboard trick to us peons.
Screensavers run in their own thread, so the only way to swap any kind of data is write it to the registry, so the screensaver or the channel could read it.

try it this way. 

Just a guess, but .m3u8 is probably not a recognized extension. Try dropping it from the title and just use the channel var.  You actually don't need extensions when saving as far as the OS is concerned.

No sweat. I've done it.

both are  missing a + after the sig variable.

NEXT does not work for me  inside that if statement. Syntax error.
