Netflix like layout?


Recommended Posts

Are there any plans in the future to make the MB3 App for Roku look more like the Netflix App?  The gray background is kind of bland.  I wouldn't mind having the backdrops show up when on a movie or tv show.

 

Thoughts?

Not anytime soon. Basically the Netflix design is using 100% custom code and not the pre-built layouts. Unfortunately those are very difficult to create and maintain any sort of navigational speed. It would take a large team (like it did with Netflix) to create and right now that isn't something we have for the Roku. Sorry.

What about backdrops?  That would at least get rid of the gray screen when going into tv shows and movies.

It isn't possible. The Roku only accepts a single color background. It doesn't let you put a background image on there.

I personally like the Roku app a lot. Sure, Roku has some limitations, such as the background color discussed here. But it's the 2nd more used client at my house (1st is MBC) and the only interface my children are using those days. Netflix, Amazon, Disney, PBS and Media Browser, all in one box!
