DanHouston 0 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Love that people are getting LiveTV with the Roku added. It really sets up for a low cost solution to get TV to wherever you need/want with a centralized DVR. The only challenge I've had with the couple I've played with (PLEX and MB3) is that the guide is by channel instead of by time....Is that some sort of limitation with the capabilities of the Roku? MB3 at least shows you what is currently playing on the channels so it is a bit better than the PLEX app, but browsing by time and then by channel seems to make more sense rather than channel first. Just curious if there is a reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcw07 347 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Unfortunately it is a limitation of the Roku. We can't really create a grid style like you can on the web. So the way we did it was basically the best way to display it considering the limitations of the Roku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanHouston 0 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 I thought in brightscript had a 2D API so you could layout your own grid if you wanted (been a long time since I've done any development so I may misunderstand how it works).

gcw07 347 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Yes you could theoretically build one from scratch. That isn't something that is going to happen anytime soon. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks...There any way to test a roku channel without having to put the roku in development mode (some sort of emulator on the PC)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikuf 663 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Not that I am aware of the only way to test is to sideload in dev mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
