Hey all.
I'm having weird issues with timestamps in Brightscript.

As I understand it you get a timestamp in Brightscript like so:

dt = createObject("roDateTime")
dt.mark()
print str(dt.asSeconds())

But when I do this I get values like: 1.311792e+09

Is there any way to get a sane unix timestamp on the Roku?
Thanks.

It's the Str() that's converting the number like that. If you just want to print to the console, then "print dt.AsSeconds()" should work. If you need to convert it to a pretty string for your app to use, you can try "dt.AsSeconds().ToStr()".
