Hide "Retrieving" Screen
Hi all,
I'm new to developing and am working on an intro level channel that will be playing a live stream. I've included a splash screen in the manifest file that shows up for approximately 3 seconds before the stream begins playing. In between the splash screen and the stream, I get the loading bar that is labelled "retrieving".
Is there any way to remove or hide the "retrieving" screen? I would imagine it's just a matter of keeping the splash screen up there while the stream is loading, but I have no idea on how to go about this.
Below is the basic code. Thanks in advance.

You can't do this with roVideoScreen. Use roVideoPlayer instead.
Here's a trivial example:
Sub Main ()
' Common port used by roImageCanvas and roVideoPlayer
port = CreateObject ("roMessagePort")
' Create roImageCanvas
ui = CreateObject ("roImageCanvas")
ui.SetMessagePort (port)
ui.SetLayer (0, {Color: "#00000000"})
ui.Show ()
' Create roVideoPlayer
vi = CreateObject ("roVideoPlayer")
vi.SetMessagePort (port)
vi.SetContentList ([
{
StreamFormat: "mp4",
Stream: {
Url: "http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4",
Bitrate: 2000,
Quality: False,
StreamType: "mp4"
}
}
])
vi.Play ()
' Event loop
While True
msg = Wait (0, port)
' Event handling goes here ...
End While
End Sub

Re: Hide "Retrieving" Screen
dabulls312,
it is very annoying for roku developer that he can't experiment too much in case of their is predifine TEXT for some component. i have suffered lot in case of some component also.
As per concern your query YOU CAN'T change or hide text for rovideoScreen.
For this there is roVideoplayer-> here you can custom change your player as you want.
and for placing your text or screen in case of retrieving you can use imagecanvas with it.
😄 😄 😄 good luck:D 😄 😄
