DoRecovery API
I'm trying to test the DoRecovery API. I've discovered that it can only be tested by creating a beta app, i.e. it can't be tested by sideloading the app. This was discussed here: https://community.roku.com/discussions/developer/dorecovery-api-always-returns-recoverystatus-1-enhanced-subscription-recovery/1001978 This is a serious impediment to testing the app. With each change, you have to package the app and upload it to your beta app. Then wait for the change to propagate to your Roku device so you can test it. You don't get the usual info through the debug console. Does anyone know a way around this? And if not, is there a faster way to see the changes made to a beta app on your Roku device? It's taking way too long between updates for my changes to take effect.
Developing a personal/private media player
Hi, hew here to the developer forum. For a while I was trying to use a Plex Media server running on TerraMaster, to save time I won't go into the reasons I want to replace Plex for my personal media, but I am looking to replace it. Although I was able to us Roku's My Media and it was able to stream the videos from my TerraMaster Plex server I wasn't able to pause, or rewind, or both, I can't remember for sure, but I would also prefer my own interface that works with the Roku remote. I would like to create my own Roku app that can serve up m own videos, images, music on an interface of my design. I'm currently a php developer and although I'm no expert with htmls/css/javascript I can usually get by. I would like some advice and feedback on getting started and what I'm looking at. How big of a project this will be. Thanks.

Good afternoon, As of a week ago I'm having the Channel Content Play Performance fail on the automated analysis tests. The other tests are all still passing (which are unironically the same RASP files doing the same behaviour test, just looking for different results) It seems like the baseline time isn't being used correctly on the response processor (all my tests are failing after 8.x seconds where x is the approximate real time my content takes to load on real devices. This test has worked well before and when running the exact same test locally against hardware it works as expected. Has anyone else experienced this recently?
Channel Content Play Performance
Is anyone having issues with Channel Content Play Performance? I'm trying to publish several channels, and in the App Behavior Analysis I have to redo it multiple times because Channel Content Play Performance fails, saying the video is taking more than 8 seconds to load. But after trying several times, the same link eventually passes. Thank You Luiz NicolauUnexpected app exit after a few hours
Hello Roku Community! This issue started to occur on Roku OS 14.5. After 2 hours of streaming media, the app unexpectedly closes and goes to the home page. Automatic power saving and bandwidth saving are turned off, also the screensaver is disabled. The video starts every hour but video node is present all the time, which shouldn't cause a timeout. Additionally, attaching the logs before exit: 05-09 02:18:17.823 [beacon.signal] |AppLaunchComplete ---------> Pending Render Pass 05-09 02:18:17.891 [beacon.signal] |AppLaunchComplete ---------> Duration(1685 ms) <Component: roAssociativeArray> = { date: "2025-05-09T02:18:19Z" } <Component: roAssociativeArray> = { date: "2025-05-09T02:18:19Z" mediaId: 288501 Component: roAssociativeArray> = { date: "2025-05-09T02:18:42Z" mediaId: 288855 } 05-09 04:28:16.567 [beacon.signal] |AppExitInitiate -----------> TimeBase(7801392 ms) 05-09 04:28:16.647 [bs.ndk.proc.exit] plugin=dev pid=2944 status=exit retval=2 user requested=1 process name='SdkLauncher' exit code=EXIT_USER_NAV 05-09 04:28:16.726 [beacon.header] ___________________________ Additionaly, "disableScreenSaver" field is set to "true" for Video Node. What am I missing? Is there a way to prevent this from happening while playing video?
