Hi all
For a long while my friends and I who produce a non-=profit podcast called Amateurlogic have had a Roku private channel.
Initially I took the Videoplayer that was one of the examples in the SDK and simply amended it to point at the xml file which we keep on a server and update each time a new episode is released. We now have around 50 videos onour channel.
I recently submitted the channel for publication as a public channel and have been advised of the following.
"Hi Peter, we are in the middle of trying to clear a backlog of channels including yours, and yours just came back from QA yesterday with the following issues needing to be remedied:
1) Channel store art doesn't match the main Roku menu (home screen) artwork.
2) Play from beginning/Resume Playing appears after a clip ends.
3) All the clip menus will have problem #2 after watching any clip through to
the end. So even clips that have never been played will have this in their
selection menu.
For issues 2 and 3, replacing appVideoScreen.brs and appDetailScreen.brs in your project, or merging the differences into your project, will most likely fix these issues. Also make sure you have a unique id set in the ContentID for each video in your xml (typically a 5 or 6 digit string of letters/numbers) like ALV31
Please fix the above issues, upload a new project, and let me know when you have done so, we are hoping to publish as many as possible before the Thanksgiving break."
I have now give the videos all a unique content id and am updating our artwork. Problems 2 & 3 would require me to study up Brightscript and learn the language and yet it looks like a fairly simple problem to solve to someone experienced. Would anyone know a simple fix for these problems so that we can get our channel published before Roku close for Christmas? I don;t quite know what the above author means by replacing appVideoScreen.brs and appDetailScreen.brs.
Thanks Peter
ps our private Channel code is ALOGIC
