roGridScreen not showing thumbnails with HTTPS URLs
I am building a channel that shows photos in a roGridScreen and I am setting HDPosterUrl and SDPosterUrl on an item in the list I hand to SetContentList() to an HTTPS URL, for example "https://images.nga.gov/images/bindo.jpg" or "https://lfe-cdn.lytro.com/lfe/7062cdec-e8f5-11e2-a5d5-22000a97519a/carousel_preview.jpg".
These URLs are of course for testing, the eventual URLs will come from an existing service.
I also called this to enable certificates on the screen:
screen.SetCertificatesFile("common:/certs/ca-bundle.crt")
screen.InitClientCertificates()
This doesn't work for me - thumbnails in the view aren't showing up.
Please help!
Thanks in advance,
Amnon

Re: roGridScreen not showing thumbnails with HTTPS URLs
This is a long standing known issue. The only way to get it to work now is to use roUrlTransfer to download the images to "tmp:/" and reference those from your grid screen metadata.

Re: roGridScreen not showing thumbnails with HTTPS URLs
FYI, I filed a bug on this a week or two ago in response to another post on the forums to the same effect.

Re: roGridScreen not showing thumbnails with HTTPS URLs
Thanks for your responses.
Was there any official word when this came up in the past?
The bug seems pretty straight forward - roGridScreen (and others?) don't honor certificates for HTTPS poster loading.
Hopefully that gets fixed soon enough...

Thanks, that worked!
