Welcome to the Independent Developer Kit (IDK) [DEPRECATED]
The Roku Independent Developer Kit (IDK) is a non-commercial development platform for building personal-use applications that can be sideloaded and run on your IDK-supported Roku streaming player. Developers, enthusiasts, and hobbyists can use the IDK to build casual, interactive games that work with the Roku remote control; smart home apps to monitor and control thermostats, security systems, and other devices; and other tools and utilities. To learn more about the IDK: https://go.roku.com/roku-idk. To download the IDK: https://go.roku.com/idk-download. To get started building apps with the IDK: https://go.roku.com/idk-getting-started.5.9KViews4likes0CommentsUnable to Take Screenshots
I have setup my device successfully and have my side-loaded app open on my device. I have accessed the "https://192" address, selected "Utilities" and then selected the "Screenshot" button but it give me an error: "Screenshot not ok". I have adjusted my settings between 1080p and 4K. I am testing this app but I don't know how to take screenshots to provide to my team. Thanks2.7KViews1like2CommentsUpload page times out after dev mode was enabled
I'm trying to load an app to a roku device in developer mode. I followed the sequence of buttons, Selected Enbale Install and restart Set up a password and the device rebooted. I navigated to http://192.168.1.215 which is the ip of my device and the browser returned with a request timeout. The following ports are open: 7000/tcp open afs3-fileserver 8080/tcp open http-proxy 8085/tcp open unknown 8086/tcp open d-s-n 8087/tcp open simplifymedia 8088/tcp open radan-http 8089/tcp open unkn Model 3900X-Roku Express SWVersion: 10.5.0-4208-513.4KViews1like2CommentsPublic Channel through IDK?
Can we publish public channels through the IDK? This mentions it is for non-commercial personal use, so can we not make apps for the whole world to use? For that we need to use Brightscript like we did before? C+ isn't brightscript so I'm a little confused on the usage of this for those of us looking to publish channels publicly if we can't port the apps over to Brightscript for public channel publishing...2.8KViews1like1CommentDeveloping Python apps with idk
I am working on developing idk apps with Python. Cross compiling python with the idk was trivial but creating a useful app will require adapting an existing framework to Roku and packaging modules and scripts up correctly. The frameworks I think have the most potential are Pygame and Kivy. I am personally more interested in Kivy but Pygame has a community that would probably be interested in Roku as a platform. I plan to share my work once I have something worthwhile, but I'd like to know if anyone else is working on this? And does anyone have suggestions about other frameworks that might be useful?2.7KViews1like0CommentsHow Roku media engine is working
