xml,animation,sprite-sheet,roku,brightscript
Actually, you don't have to use XML files for sprite animations. Just be aware that frame's dimensions must be set. Follow the example bellow for a loading sprite with 128x128 dimensions and 12 frames: compositor = CreateObject("roCompositor") compositor.SetDrawTo(screen, &h80) compositor.NewAnimatedSprite(576, 296, GetLoadingSpriteRegions()) Function GetLoadingSpriteRegions() as Object arr = [] bitmap=createobject("robitmap","pkg:/images/loader_sprite.png")...
Change default font roFontRegistry in Roku

Brightscript plugin: How to access user variables in processEvent

ROKU: Associative Array with multiple values
You don't need to do any of that. Just send the JSON array and Roku will parse it: BrightScript Debugger> myJSON = "[1998,2003,2004,2005,2006,2007,2008,2009,2010,2011,2012,2013,2014]" BrightScript Debugger> ? type(myJSON) String BrightScript Debugger> arr = parseJSON(myJSON) BrightScript Debugger> ? type(arr) roArray It's perfectly valid to have array as top-level element of the json...
Roku - page not loading
My guess is your computer and Roku are connected to different networks and Roku is unreachable from the PC. Note one is on 192.168.2, the other - on 192.168.3 network. Either you have multiple routers (maybe cascaded) or one router but one of the devices is connected to "guest" WiFi...
No response from Vimeo API on GET request
json,vimeo,vimeo-api,roku,brightscript
To make HTTPS/SSL requests in BrightScript, you need to explicitly set the certificates file. Try this: req = createObject("roUrlTransfer") req.setCertificatesFile("common:/certs/ca-bundle.crt") req.setUrl("https://vimeo.com/api/v2/user17146517/albums.json") response = req.getToString() print "response: "; response ...
roUrlTransfer in BrightScript
Yes, as long as the url is accessible to the Roku, you can host it as a static json or xml file. You don't need a full blown web service. In fact, a significant number of the channels available on the Roku are driven by static MRSS feeds....
