Tribute to a developer

I could go on and on, but it must be said that the new Positive Peak Radio & TV Channel upgrade was an amazing breeze. Our developer & consultant, jbrave, was truly inspiring. Working at a rate that was beyond fair, J took our channel to amazing heights.

Just look: https://owner.roku.com/Account/ChannelCode/?code=LWKDS

You know when you encounter a developer who is more than a "by the book" guy. This time, ours was an artist. If you ever need a hard working developer who throws his heart into a project, PM jbrave here in the forum. We, at Positive Peak, are very impressed and thankful for him & will be developing more channels for Roku because of him. It had to be said.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming...

    Nice! Love the fades. Very slick!

    As a heads up, the first time I launched the channel, The Animal wasn't behaving. There was no logo, and it just stayed on the poster screen when the music started.. no fades. A close and re-open had Surfside 1640 do the same, but The Animal was working. After a few more tests, it seems like it might have something to do with launching a station before they've all loaded.

    Nice job, jbrave!

    just installed it - working here. The images are hosted on a server, and there is some anti-caching code that appends a random string onto the end of the image urls. Maybe the problem was network related? If anyone else sees something like this, please PM me or Dave.

    I bet its the RequireAllImagesToDraw(true) - if the image hasn't downloaded yet, then it probably won't draw. Probably, the filesize of the images should be reduced a bit.
