[Solved] roTextureRequestEvent getBitmap() fails

Hey All,

Im using roTextureManager to download some images, but when I do msg.GetBitmap(), the console freezes and Roku restarts. Or, some times, it succeeds, and returns a bitmap with 0 width and height. Has anybody encountered this problem, with roTextureManager before?


Thanks

    That's true, I never expected calling GetBitmap() multiple times would cause a crash. May be this should be added to the documentation. Especially since it causes Roku to restart.


    Issue confirmed. Thanks for the bug report.

    Interesting.. you're calling GetBitmap() three times in that code, and it doesn't blow up until the last one. I wouldn't expect it to ...

    In practice it was getting called only 2x - because of the short-circuiting of the OR - so it was bombing on the 2nd call to getBitmap(). It would be disconcerting if it was err-ing on the 3rd call but now is just a regular bug, phew 8-)

    Also, i don't think there is type()="bitmap" ever, is there? I trust when getBitmap() <> invalid, it's always roBitmap.
