Roku Developer Program

i got the example working but i am trying to figure out how to not go thru that process again if your already linked.

everytime I open up the channel it goes thru the whole process again.

After the first time and it's good, set a value in the registry and then test for it on the next access.

[FML2010]

How do you do that?

is that the "regristration token"?

also can that token be any length and numbers and letters or are there strict standards to this?

[greubel]

Read the section on the roRegistry

i have been reading that, can you tell me where it answer these questions because i dont see it there anywhere

edit: I also can't seem to "get a New code" when i click the button... im assuming it has to do with the example not being complete?

[greubel]

You should be calling the same routine that generated the original code. The "Get a New Code" implies that the first one wasn't any good and you need to generate another one.

Ok the issue seems to be with the register example....

when i load the register example, it will link my roku, when i go to click on the images, it will go back to the registration screen.

so it is not saving the token that my site is sending back. All i did was change the

UrlGetRegCode and m.UrlGetRegResult links to some on my site and of course m.UrlBase to my site

the second issue seems to be what is correct, in the registration example:

the register example says : regToken .... but the linking docs says : deviceToken

when i use regToken it says its linked! But then when i come back its not saved at all. and i have to do it again.

if i go back and use JUST the original register example it does the same thing, it will say your linked and every time you try to look at the images or come back again, it will not say you are already a user, it will go thru the whole process again! so its not saving the token.

what needs to be done to the registration example, to save the user so it doesnt need to do this over and over? that way i can at least test my webserver code to see if its working at least!

Thanks I think its almost there!

This happens because line 32 of regScreen.brs is commented out. In the sample channel, the token is being saved, it's just not being used to decide whether to go through the registration the next time the user selects a poster item. If you uncomment that line, the channel will no longer go through the registration screens if it has already been successfully registered. Instead it will do nothing when a poster item is selected. That is where you would need to invoke code to display your own content.
