Revision to the Show Detail Screen / Springboard
Making great progress here using the sample code from the video player example provided. The more I work I can see that to really become an expert you need to become a very good BrightScript programmer. That being said, time is not on my side so I'm trying to learn just the basics to get my first projects off the ground.
Can anyone point me to the file / files where I can make some adjustments to the Show Detail screen?
1. The example code displays a "star rating / show quality" with stars. I want to remove / hide this.
2. The synopsis text - is limited in characters displayed. How can this be edited to show more text?
Having a hard time finding the correct BrightScript files to makle these edits.
3. Another important question - When submitting a public channel to ROKU, can these sample video player files be used?

Re: Revision to the Show Detail Screen / Springboard
I don't deal with those stars often enough to tell you off the top of my head, but I just did a search for "stars" that returned 45 posts asking similar questions, so the answer is probably in there somewhere or you can wait and one of the folks who know this stuff intuitively might answer.
