Use RDP to create custom (for sale) screensaver?

Hello I have created a few streaming channels with RDP and would like to do a paid screensaver. I can't seem to find any info on if this is possible (vs. SDK/coding) and when I search the forums it just brings up user issues with their paid/free screensavers!

# 1 is it possible to create a custom, for-sale, screensaver using RDP and get it in the screensaver search on Roku?

# 2 Is there available documentation to do this?

# 3 If not possible with RDP, is it super hard to custom code one? I have limited coding knowledge but was able to figure out the RDP method in a day and crank out three channels that same week... 

 

Thanks in advance!

Re: Use RDP to create custom (for sale) screensaver?

Screensavers are not possible, and paid is not possible with DP. As for custom coding/SDK?   I did a basic grid channel, it was 'fairly' moderate to do (limited coding abilities), but I'm not sure about screensavers. I wouldn't think all that hard, however if you're looking for 'paid', then yes it'll get complex. Payment API, multiple nodes etc.

When it comes to Roku screensavers keep in mind the following:

- There is no user interaction
- You cannot use videos
- It's somewhat buggy
