PosterURL and Dropbox?

Building a test app and images stored on Dropbox aren't loading. Is there a secret to using Dropbox in PosterURLs? The links are https:// vs. http: Is that a problem?

Re: PosterURL and Dropbox?

You didn't mention which screen type you're using, but the roGridScreen doesn't support https (unless they've fixed it recently), so if you're using a grid, you'll need to download the images to tmp first. The other screens should work if you call their ifHttp.SetCertificates("common:/certs/ca-bundle.crt") method.

Re: PosterURL and Dropbox?

Thanks, TheEndless. I'm using a roGridScreen. Glad to know it's not something to do with my image files.

Speaking of grid screens, did Roku or anyone ever publish an example like SimpleGrid with a working video player?
