Roku Developer Program

Right now a user can forward / revind and pause a video while being played.

Can the user rate a video while the video is being played?

Follow up question:
Can a user rate a video stream- e.g. roku is streaming CNN international, and user rates the program running at 10:00 AM, then the one broadcasting at 10:34 AM.. etc etc... while the channel is streaming ?

Would be great to know if this is possible.

I'm pretty sure you can open a roMessageDialog over a roVideoScreen while video is playing, so that might be one way to do it, envoked with the * button.

Or you could build your own video experience with roVideoPlayer and roScreen. See this blog post for more on that approach, http://blog.roku.com/developer/2012/10/ ... eo-player/

Thanks for the pointers.

Unless it changed in a recent(ish) firmware update, I don't think the roVideoScreen supports the info/* button.

Fair point. So roVideoPlayer is probably the way to go.
