It's a good solution, thanks for bringing the topic up.

FYI, my ScreenShades screensaver for Roku2 is now available on the original series of Roku players thanks to the new 3.0 Roku firmware update. Screenshades was the first independently developed application to make heavy use of the new 2D graphics features on the Roku 2. ScreenShades is a moving digi...

There are really a lot of reasons why this might happen. Is it always the same video that freezes? What if you pick the second vid as your first vid, does it play? In your video player module, interrupt program execution and print out the contents of the data you are sending for the first video, the...

Will work, but won't it stop the video stream for those who are watching TV normally after 4 hours? Or can the code be modified to place a message that "In 10 minutes the screen will automatically close to conserve bandwidth". Please, Press OK to Continue" If no response it will clos...

It isn't really clear from what you posted exactly what you are trying to accomplish. Do you want a Roku screen that updates every few minutes? Do you want an image that updates every few minutes? As you probably know, a Roku can't really display a web (html) page. Instead, the Roku can take XML dat...

Try holding the reset button for 60 seconds or longer, to fully reset the device.

as far as icons go, this might be the problem: SDPosterUrl:"file://pkg:/images/CraigVenter-2008.jpg" HDPosterUrl:"file://pkg:/images/CraigVenter-2008.jpg" that should be: SDPosterURL:"pkg:/images/CraigVenter-2008.jpg" HDPosterUrl:"pkg:/images/CraigVenter-2008.jpg&q...

you could put a timer in your video module to exit the video player after a certain amount of time has passed, up to you. for example: timer=createobject("rotimespan") while true if timer.totalseconds() > 14400 then return -1 'exit video after four hours of play msg = wait(100, video.GetMe...

Since both roScreen and roImageCanvas are relatively free form - you will have to generate the focus effect yourself - for example, you could draw a box around the item you want to represent as "selected". If you want your screen to behave like a standard roku component, then read up on an...

For a custom look, you would probably want to use the roImageCanvas component. Take a look in the Component Reference for some examples. Post any further questions back here and someone will try to help you.

hi,

many of these properties can be controlled with the roAppmanager component. i cant say for sure if one can directly control the button color or the rating color independent of the text color without doing some tests, but ill investigate and post back here later.

I'm looking into creating a Roku channel, and have a few questions I hope someone can answer. Roku documentation mentions things called components, however these components appear to be more like templates. In other words, I just supply the appropriate data and call the appropriate methods/function...

Ok. So if it get this right from reading the various threads:

2.9 can't handle absolute urls,

4.x can only handle full absolute with the http://

so the server needs to output the full path to each stream segment in the .m3u8

?

Hi, I'm testing out a new wowza service from Bitgravity. I've been testing with my 3.0 boxes for the most part and everything looked good, then just switched over to my 2.9 boxes. The 2.9 is throwing a 404 error when it hits the m3u8 file: "Unknown event: 11 msg: HTTP status 404 data: 0 indx: 0...

In a Multi-bitrate scenario, does setting the stream bitrate to a fixed number to speed up buffering prevent the roku from adjusting if the bandwidth changes, or does continue to auto adjust?
