Video + List
Hello,
I’m trying to create a channel from scratch that launches a video link and allows users to display a list of the other available channels while the video is still playing (a text list at the left of the screen).
If the user clicks on a link, the new video launches and the list disappears until he presses the OK button to make the list appear without stopping the video
I created the following folders + a manifest file:
- Components
- Images
- channels
- source
in the channels folder I created the following xml file :
in the Components folder I created the following xml file :
When I launch the channel the video plays and I can see the list (I can't scroll down though).
How do I link the videos in the channel's folder to the list in my components XML file ?
Do you see something else missing in my code ?
Thank you for your help

When I launch the channel the video plays and I can see the list (I can't scroll down though).
How do I link the videos in the channel's folder to the list in my components XML file ?
Do you see something else missing in my code ?

Re: Video + List
Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction? I'm still completely stuck on this.

Re: Video + List
Hi Jamilou,
It seems like this question was resolved by your more recent post here: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=95899
For anyone looking at this post, there is an example in the SDK1 docs that implements a custom playback list while video is playing located here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rokusdk ... p/download
This example is a bit outdated as it does not use SceneGraph/SDK2 concepts.
Additional templates/code examples (as well as information about the Roku developer program) are located here if anyone is curious:
https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc ... er+Program
For anyone who wants a template using SDK2 (SceneGraph + BrightScript), I made an SDK2 template located here that uses the base SceneGraph components provided in SDK2:
https://github.com/LeoWW/custom-playback-channel
Note: A labellist also has the scrolling capability that you are requesting for in your more recent post 🙂
If anyone has any additional questions, please let me know; hope that helps!

Ahem. Let's put the record straight: a code is not "outdated" if it can do the job. Just like Roku is not outdated for using BrightScript or low-spec hardware.
SDK1 ("ro" components) was designed to be simple to use, SDK2 ("sg" components) is not. As such, the latter should not be prescribed to beginners.
