Getting the project

You can get a copy of this project by clicking on the ZIP or TAR buttons near the top right of the GitList web page.

If you're me, and you want to contribute to the repo, then you can clone it like so:

git clone ssh://USERNAME@dlma.com/~/git/dxb_channel.git

Building it

Ensure you can sideload a dev channel.

CLI

Running make will build and deploy if you have $ROKU_DEV_TARGET and $DEVPASSWORD set.

make

You can automatically make and deploy with each changed file with the following command:

git ls-files | entr -c sh -c 'make all'

VS Code

VS Code can also use the Makefile with VC Code Makefile Tools. You can set environment variables $ROKU_DEV_TARGET and $DEVPASSWORD in a file ".env". For example:

ROKU_DEV_TARGET=192.168.1.2
DEVPASSWORD=mooltipass

Use dxb_channel.code-workspace as your workspace file for the project.

Sublime Text

See the "build_systems" command in dxb_channel.sublime-project to see how the channel is zipped and deployed.

Experimenting

The code in components/testtask.brs is run every time the OK button is pressed (while the "Test Output" pane has focus). That's a good place to experiment with new code.

Is it any good?

Yes.
