looks like IfDraw2D has a new function GetPng which returns a bytearray that can be saved to disk and then the image or portion of it can be re-created

Did I say the operators were faster? Less typing-that's about it. The point was that the plugin generally lags behind the technology. As far as eclipse vs any other environment that is a matter of preference. I have used it from the start so for me it's the best we have. On the other hand I get the ...

Your retired you have lots of time. I'm a gym rat, employed full time as a nurse and have a small business. I develop on three platforms.

Sounds like you have given up already. Nothing is that easy. The new Scene Graph will give you some brain fog as well. I'm 62 workout everyday and still love to learn new things. Well you are almost there: when you get to the open perspective then select other , then select brightscript from the lis...

... You have an integrated debugger, Wait, wait... say what now?! http://api.ning.com/files/jEI2iEfKUOi3OsvOL-e8DsQEzlH8xCY9TxWsPvWmdM7-W8814VOanGPXuV7sXEQqKls4HUtamoFqCiE1t0bfAi9gRB6YHjLD/saywhat.jpg PS. come to think of it, there appears to be some resemblance between Mr.Bean and my facial interf...

https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/Eclipse+Plugin+Guide This will give you a general overview. There are some frustrating quirks, the new plugin keeps loosing the IP address of the box so you may have to retype it in when you export to the box, at least on ROKU 4. There still is no support for ...

It all depends upon what you are going to do. Eclipse is an integrated development environment. You have everything you need in one nice package. With the introduction of Scene Graph, ROKU development has become more intricate. For example, a task node runs on its own thread. Each node requires its ...

What does GetModelDisplayName return

roDeviceInfo should give you everything you need about the device as well as other useful information

roScreen is not compatible with standard components. Its a bit tricky to use both roScreen and the standard components in the same application. If the roScreen is on top of a standard component then there is no problem. Just invalidate it to return control to the component stack. But to place a stan...

It causes a number of devices to crash. Not good for a streaming environment that is somewhat mature

I don't think there is direct support for AAC 5.1

People have been reporting this for last couple of days. Don't know why ROKU has not responded. If you don't have a backup then your sunk.

One more thing. Optimization for scene graph is different due to threads. If memory serves me correctly there are differences in passing/assigning by value or reference. I believe that some of the larger data structures such as an AA may be copied instead of referenced. So the whole thing can really...

Since each task node runs on its own thread you need to open telnet sessions using ports specified in the docs. They do not use the main thread on which the debugger resides. You can use print statements and they can display what is in content. I try to avoid XML as much as possible and do everythin...
