Roku Developer Program

[OddScott]

Any channel that uses RAF, my own or stuff from the channel store, started crashing about 20 minutes ago. Stuff without RAF works fine. Is this just me with a network problem, or is something seriously broken?

Immediately after "m.rafVast=Roku_Ads()" I get this:

Roku_Ads Framework version 2.0215
[size=100]BRIGHTSCRIPT: ERROR: ParseJSON: Data is empty: roku_ads_lib:/Roku_Ads.brs(1567)[/size]

BrightScript Micro Debugger.
Enter any BrightScript statement, debug commands, or HELP.

I am experiencing the same issue.

It seems to be happening across a range of production applications as well as all example projects.

Seems all better now.

No RAF ads on any Roku channel for 30 minutes or so. That's got to have been expensive.

[NB_]

There was a disturbance in the Force yesterday.
We have top men working on it, so this Event never happens again.
