Hi I am very new to Roku and would like to learn Roku development. I want to basically extract (scrap) videos and live tv from some public websites to my roku channel. Is that possible? If so, could someone point me to a easy to learn tutorial or some guidelines? It would be a big help...thanks a lot in advance.
If you haven't looked at the pinned/sticky thread in this forum here - viewtopic.php?f=34&t=36014 - that is a good place to begin. And be sure to download the SDK as that has a whole lot of sample applications to get you started.

Yes, scraping is possible. There's no tutorial specifically for that approach that I know of. When going through the documentation, check out roURLTransfer and roRegEx. Those components will be big players in any scraping logic you plan to develop.
