Information on Backend Searching
Hello,
I'm new to Roku development. I'm creating my own channel to watch home movies from a NAS. Originally, I was thinking of having an XML file for each movie that can be accessed by the channel to display in the details screen. Now, I'm in the process of developing the search screen and a bit lost as to what backend service to use for searching. Any suggestions on already existing scripts that can perform the search and send the results back to the Roku channel? Has anyone used Solr for this function?
Thanks,
Kevin

Re: Information on Backend Searching
what I did was to put the searchable information into a MySQL db and program a script to generate XML on the fly for a given search term. Then there is a search function in my roku channel that sends search queries to the web server and receives back XML with the results.
