Roku Developer Program

Hello all,

I've been working on publishing a basic web video app for B2B usage - we're currently working on completing the certification steps and can't seem to get rid of the following error message:

Channels are now required to support roInput events. Please opt in to this support with the supports_input_launch=1 manifest entry and properly handle roInput events in your channel.

We've added the required manifest entry, and added what we believe to be proper roInput handling for our channel. We don't have any type of content that could be launched via this type of tool, so we're just throwing out the event (as it doesn't apply to our app). Is there anything else we need to add? Attached is our main.brs.

sub main(args as dynamic)
  m.port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")

  screen = CreateObject("roSGScreen")
  screen.setMessagePort(m.port)

  m.global = screen.getGlobalNode()
  m.global.id = "GlobalNode"

  input = CreateObject("roInput")
  input.setMessagePort(m.port)

  scene = screen.CreateScene("MainScene")
  scene.backExitsScene = false
  m.global.addFields({
    screen: screen
  })
  screen.show()

  while(true)
    msg = wait(0, m.port)
    msgType = type(msg)
    if msgType = "roSpringboardScreenEvent" then
      if msgType = "roSGScreenEvent"
        if msg.isScreenClosed() then return
      end if
    end if
    if msgType = "roInputEvent"
      info = msg.getInfo()
      print info
    end if
  end while
end sub

Were you able to get this figured out? I'm in the same situation.

FYI, I ended up just copying the inputTask.brs and inputTask.xml file from the deep-Linking-samples and adding supports_input_launch=1 to the manifest. It then passed without any errors.

this main.brs works:

' first thing that happens in a channel'
sub main()

msgPort = CreateObject("roMessagePort")

input = CreateObject("roInput")
input.SetMessagePort(msgPort)

screen = CreateObject("roSGScreen")
m.port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
screen.setMessagePort(m.port)
scene = screen.CreateScene("MainScene")
scene.signalBeacon("AppLaunchComplete")
screen.show()

while(true)
msg = wait(0, m.port)
msgType = type(msg)
if msgType = "roSGScreenEvent"
if msg.isScreenClosed() then return
end if
if msgType = "roInputEvent"
info = msg.getInfo()
'info is now just like args passed to your Main() method
'it contains mediaType and contentId properties, so you
'can use your normal deep-link handling code
getDeepLink(info)
end if
end while
end sub

Function getDeepLinks(args) as Object
deeplink = Invalid

if args.contentid <> Invalid and args.mediaType <> Invalid
deeplink = {
id: args.contentId
type: args.mediaType
}
end if

return deeplink
end Function

Hey, I'm encountering this problem too and I tried the code in the last comment with no success, static analysis still fails. Did anyone find the actual cause of the problem? (yes, I have the flag set in manifest)
