BRIGHTSCRIPT: ERROR: roMessagePort: Trying to construct a message port on a non-plugin thread: pkg:/components/screens/DetailsScreen/DetailsScreen.brs(102)

http requests cannot be performed on the render thread.
Take a look at https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/Task which defines the process in RSG.

Hello Tyler,

Thanks for your answer and of the link!

For me it's not very clear how I call the Task from BrightScript. Would you please give me an example? Thank you!

I'm trying to invoke the task in a BrightSprit file like so (from this link: https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc ... er+Content😞

m.getHomeOptionsList = createObject("roSGNode", "getLabelListContent")
m.getHomeOptionsList.setField("uri", "http://www.sdktestinglab.com/homeoptionslistcontent.xml")
m.getHomeOptionsList.observeField("content", "showhomeoptionslist")
m.getHomeOptionsList.functionName = "showhomeoptionslist"
m.getHomeOptionsList.control = "RUN"
