roku telnet ports for debugging

Is there some way to debug installed apps, so If I send a beta to someone, they can send me error dumps?

Only sideloaded apps can be debugged. Unless you run some sort of remote debugging (i.e. upload compile/run errors to a website) and then you would have to run() all your real code.

We encourage you to use the roSystemLog component to log important events in your app. Good logging can also help you spot trends and issues in your published applications.

What method would you recommend to transmit the log results back home to momma so to speak?
