# dxb Channel dxb Channel is a test [channel for Roku devices](https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/SceneGraph+Samples). It uses SceneGraph and the BrightScript language. ## Getting The Channel This is the private channel code: **[dxb](https://my.roku.com/add/dxb)** Clicking the link will take you directly to a confirmation page for getting the channel. ## Preview  # Getting the project You can get a copy of this project by clicking on the [ZIP](http://git.dlma.com/dxb_channel.git/zipball/main) or [TAR](http://git.dlma.com/dxb_channel.git/tarball/main) 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](https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/Loading+and+Running+Your+Application). ### 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](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.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`](http://git.dlma.com/dxb_channel.git/blob/main/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?
