I try to create Roku-Ads()in the Scene,init(), and got this error:

BRIGHTSCRIPT: ERROR: roAppInfo: class PLUGIN|MARKUP on thread RENDER: roku_ads_lib:/Roku_Ads.brs(560)
BRIGHTSCRIPT: ERROR: roMessagePort: Trying to construct a message port on a non-plugin thread: roku_ads_lib:/Roku_Ads.brs(335)
BRIGHTSCRIPT: ERROR: roUrlTransfer: class PLUGIN|MARKUP on thread RENDER: roku_ads_lib:/Roku_Ads.brs(336)

So, to create Roku_Ads() 'any time' is not so easy 😞

Really? Sounds good.
But, i think to separate it to the Task will be useful to share it between different Scenes and Players. 

That is already done internally, it is being shared every time you call Roku_Ads(). I.e. RAF is already smart and does not create new instances on each invocation. To throw a buzzword, do you know the "signleton pattern"? RAF is a singleton already.

Got it, thank you.
