Roku Developer Program

I am using 5.3 and when I telnet into 8085 I don't get the console as expected. Instead I get an empty prompt that doesn't seem to recognize input. Did the location change? Also I do not see the port information in the about section.

You probably need to re-enabled debugging mode on your roku - sometimes after an update it gets disabled. It's still port 8085. You can only have a single debugging telnet session at one time.

Pretty sure the print commands are outputting I just can't issue any of my own commands. I was looking for something similar to ...

"The Debug Console prompt looks like this:

BrightScript Debugger>"

Mine just looks like it is outputing the syslog or something. Could it be I am on OSX?

You can only issue commands if you break execution, either with a "stop" statement in the code, a bug that causes a crash, or by hitting CTRL-C in the terminal session.

Ctrl-C doesn't work, I can still deploy using eclipse. It says...

Escape character is '^]'.

But that doesn't seem to get me to where I need to be it doesn't accept the commands listed above. I could try a STOP in an application I am running but I haven't done that yet I can keep you informed if it works. I really just want to look at the source files like it talks about.

Sorry I meant this one talks about looking at the core libs...

Might be Command-C on Mac, but I'm not sure.

[partyk1d24]

Doesn't seem to be the case. This platform is great just seems pretty hard to develop on with a mac.

Oh well back to the revue.

yup, if you can't find the break command on your mac, I guess you'd need to add a stop command to your app and run it twice to get debug console access. (The only logical conclusion)

Console is working fine on Mac, i just checked. fw5.3
Use Ctrl-C to break on Mac too, just like anywhere else (this is telnet, server interprets the code; not out-of-band)
simply did `telnet` from terminal.

Don't forget though: this only works on a side-loaded/dev channel - you don't get to interrupt/debug published channels.
