In my main.brs, I create a roSlideShow, and as soon as I try adding content to it, my Roku crashes and reboots by itself:

screen = CreateObject("roSlideShow")
port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
screen.SetMessagePort(port)
screen.SetLoop(true)
screen.SetDisplayMode("scale-to-fit")
screen.SetPeriod(8)
photos = ...
? "  DBG10"
'screen.SetContentList(photos) ' this also crashes my Roku
photo = photos[0]
print photo
screen.AddContent(photo)
? "  DBG11"
screen.Show()
? "  DBG12"

Both SetContentList and AddContent results in the same crash.

Output on telnet port 8085:

  DBG10
<Component: roSGNode> =
{
    metadata: <Component: roContentMetadata>
    change: <Component: roAssociativeArray>
    focusable: false

Any idea..?

I tried replacing roSlideShow with roPosterScreen (and commenting out the following lines, and the same issue occurs.

'screen.SetLoop(true)
'screen.SetDisplayMode("scale-to-fit")
'screen.SetPeriod(8)

Of note: that might be related to the fact I'm trying to use those screens from a SG... I'm observing a field of my scene in main.brs, using the port, and when the field changes, I receive a roSGNodeEvent message in my event loop, I try to start a slideshow then.
Now that I know I should not use a roSlideShow in a SG app, I'll just stop trying to!
