Two live videos on the same screen

Hi,

I need to put multiple videos on the same screen and have to scroll at the same time. Is this possible? I tried creating two objects roVideoPlayer, but failing to provide the multithred the result is not as I hoped. Does anyone have any idea to overcome this limitation?

Thanks

You can't play two videos at the same time with Roku. So you'd need to merge both videos/resize them into the same video file.

Thank you!!

My curiosity is if somehow you could force the mutithread, in order to handle multiple video streams. But it seems like something that goes beyond the operation of Roku.In fact, it is designed as a simple streaming player.

There's only one video decoder available, so only one video can be played at a time.
