Roku Developer Program

[Twisha]

Hi there

While I'm trying to run some example project created using brightscript on my Roku Streaming stick, When I click on inspect under utilities, I'm uploading package and entering same password as my roku developer mode. but I'm getting error when I click on inspect or any other option. Also when I try to see View Registry from vscode. it shows following error.

I'm unable to access any option on utilities even after uploading package and entering password.

If anyone can help/ suggest and solution that would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

"Package Utilities" apply to signed packages (i.e., .pkg files).  If you're trying to "inspect" a zip file, it's not going to work.  I see the "no dev key" note in the upper right corner of your screenshot.  I suspect once you run "genkey" you'll be able to use the "Screenshot" utility and you must run it before you can create a .pkg file of your own.

Thank you for your response. I now understand how to create a password and Developer ID, and I realize that generating these allows me to take screenshots. However, I'm still unclear about how to inspect my app using a ZIP file or how to debug it. Is there a way to view console logs? I'm having trouble determining if there are any errors because I can't see them.

Any guidance you can provide on this would be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance..

You don't inspect a zip file.  Telnet to port 8085 to view the debug console.

Thank you for your response. I can see the logs now in telnet terminal window on port 8085.
