I created this screensaver (now available publicly B.P.O.D.). When installing it from the web, some users have reported that it creates an icon on the Home Screen. I have also experienced this behavior! When you navigate to Settings/Screensaver and select the screensaver, then the icon on the home screen then goes away.
I am not expecting this behavior since my channel is a pure screensaver:
The manifest looks like this:
screensaver_title=B.P.O.D.
major_version=1
minor_version=0
build_version=00009
rsg_version=1.2
mm_icon_focus_hd=pkg:/images/icon_hd.png
mm_icon_focus_sd=pkg:/images/icon_sd.png
ui_resolutions=fhd
The Main file looks like this:
sub showScene(sceneName as String)
print "showScene: "; sceneName
screen = CreateObject("roSGScreen")
port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
screen.setMessagePort(m.port)
scene = screen.createScene(sceneName)
screen.show()
while(true)
msg = wait(0, port)
if (msg <> invalid)
msgType = type(msg)
if msgType = "roSGScreenEvent"
if msg.isScreenClosed() then return
end if
end if
end while
end sub
sub RunScreenSaver(params As Object)
print "::RunScreenSaver()"
showScene("MainScene")
end sub
sub RunScreenSaverSettings(params As Object)
print "::RunScreenSaverSettings()"
showScene("SettingsScene")
end subAccording to the documentation, this is what is needed to create a pure screensaver (not a regular channel).
Because the Roku adds an icon on the home screen, when you select it, it fails because there is no method to start the channel. Note that I do not want it to be a channel. I don't want an icon on the home screen. Yet the Roku adds one (which it later removes)...
Is this a bug with the Roku? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
