im having the same issue it seems like labellist is broken on roku os 8

i would also love to have this function to get the resolution that way i can make a proper zoom on 4:3 content if the user decides to... (stretch)

I havent figured it out, i will give it a try tonight and post my results. I also checked the sdk page for labelist and no, getchildcount() is not there, so maybe it should be added. thank you a lot for your kind response. getChildCount() comes from https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/ifSGNodeC...

https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/LabelList Maybe you figured this out already? use  getChildCount () on the list. So in the example from the LabelList page, you should be able to do something like mylist = m.top.findnode("moviemenucontent") count = mylist.getChildCount() I havent f...

Im doing some coding around  jumpToItem in Labellist and want to go to the last element in the list. Example: lastItem = myList.count() - 1 myList.jumpToItem = lastItem Usually i did a count on roList and subtracted one position and that was my last element. Is there something similar in LabelList? ...

So if i read correctly if i have a private channel i have until 2019.

I can keep publishing new channels with old sdk and updating them right? privately i mean

Which type is easier to convert the  NewVideoPlayer channel too? Id go with RSG its the newest and has a lot of customization. Just start building some samples and tweaking and studying its a lot harder than brightscript but not too hard, if you are fluid in brightscript you will figure it out in a...

you should avoids comments as much as posible.... coments are evil... But why? They help me think and remember how it all works together. Do they somehow hurt performance in the background? please buy this book Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship   Robert C. Martin It has a lot o...

functions should have descriptive names long ones if posible and you should write 3 lines per function or less when posible . Goodness gracious, NO! Whoever came with such idiotic idea must been someone from the Marketing Department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation ("A bunch of mindless j...

you should avoids comments as much as posible. rename your variables in a more descriptive way even if you have to use long variable names. coments are evil, your code should read like a big coment if you are doing it properly. functions should have descriptive names long ones if posible and you sho...

Sorry guys i figured it out. I converted the roString toFloat() and from there i could convert to string. I dont know if its a bug but it works.. Thanks..

Im trying to convert a roString in Scene Graph to Integer i've tried int(myRoString) and myRoString.ToInt() but both of them i get type mismatch. here the error Type Mismatch. (runtime error &h18) in pkg:/components/epgGrid.brs(48) 048:                 duration = int(m.jsonReaderResultLiveTv[id]...

you could use epggrid inside RSG which does a lot of what TC needs BUT you will have to hack your way through finding how to use it properly since theres no documentation other and a very simple example on the forums. But if you are an okay roku developer you should figure it out in a couple of day...

Just read this answer before posting in your thread, im new to RSG so i havent had the chance to or flight hours to discover this. I really have always thought of roku development as hacky because of all the cheating you have to do. Thank you so much for the heads up even though this is not what we...
