How Do I Change Artwork

I have been trying to change the default images, using the videoplayer template, but I can't seem to change them. The overhang logo and the background still stays as the default TED logo and background.

I am new to ROKU, so I don't know if I changed the right things. I modified the appMain to:

'
********************************************************************
'** Video Player Example Application - Main
'** November 2009
'** Copyright (c) 2009 Roku Inc. All Rights Reserved.
'********************************************************************

Sub Main()

'initialize theme attributes like titles, logos and overhang color
initTheme()

'prepare the screen for display and get ready to begin
screen=preShowHomeScreen("", "")
if screen=invalid then
print "unexpected error in preShowHomeScreen"
return
end if

'set to go, time to get started
showHomeScreen(screen)

End Sub


'*************************************************************
'** Set the configurable theme attributes for the application
'**
'** Configure the custom overhang and Logo attributes
'** Theme attributes affect the branding of the application
'** and are artwork, colors and offsets specific to the app
'*************************************************************

Sub initTheme()

app = CreateObject("roAppManager")
theme = CreateObject("roAssociativeArray")

theme.OverhangOffsetSD_X = "72"
theme.OverhangOffsetSD_Y = "31"
theme.OverhangSliceSD = "pkg:/images/roku-background-sd.jpg"
theme.OverhangLogoSD = "pkg:/images/roku-channel-sd.png"

theme.OverhangOffsetHD_X = "125"
theme.OverhangOffsetHD_Y = "35"
theme.OverhangSliceHD = "pkg:/images/roku-background-hd.jpg"
theme.OverhangLogoHD = "pkg:/images/roku-channel-hd.png"

app.SetTheme(theme)

End Sub


Is there something I am missing out or doing wrong?

Thanks!

It';s probably using cached images in the roku device. Try pulling and replugging the power cord to clear cached graphics.

Re: How Do I Change Artwork

Make sure to check your manifest file too. Check the spelling for the images in your images directory to match what's in the manifest file and appMain.brs. Plus, double check the file extensions for .png or .jpg 😄
