Re: Basic doubts about roku

To start programming in brightscript is very easy. Technically, all you need is the SDK (all documentation), a text editor, a web browser, a telnet client, and a Roku box. To make things easier for editing, I find eclipse with the brightscript plugin is great! In the SDK, you will find many examples to help you get started. So look at the examples. Try to make your own "Hello World" channel. And keep coming here for help as you need it. We won't write your channel for you (unless you pay us), but we will be very happy to help.

Re: Basic doubts about roku

Some of the examples are bloody mess and i did not find description in what order one should go through this to ease the learning pangs. Here is what i think is a good start list:
  1. Paragraph

  2. SimplePoster

  3. CustomVideoPlayer

  4. FileBrowser
