Live Channel Application for Roku using BrightScript Language


Here is an example application for Roku device using the only language for Roku 'BrightScript Language'. The following example needs the HLS stream url : "http://server:port/application/path.m3u8"  to be replaced with your actual HLS streaming url. The following script should be in a file with .brs extension. Create a folder, inside which a 'source' folder should be created and put the .brs file inside the source folder. Now create 'manifest' file with the following contents:




title=Channel Title
subtitle= Channel Subtitle
mm_icon_side_hd=pkg:/images/mm-icon-side-hd.jpg
mm_icon_side_sd=pkg:/images/mm-icon-side-sd.jpg
mm_icon_focus_hd=pkg:/images/mm-icon-focus-hd.jpg
mm_icon_focus_sd=pkg:/images/mm-icon-focus-sd.jpg
splash_screen_hd=pkg:/images/Splash_HD.jpg
splash_screen_sd=pkg:/images/Splash_SD43.jpg
major_version=1
minor_version=0
build_version=00000
Here in the above manifest file I have 'images' folder inside the folder where we have our 'source' folder where all my images reside. And now you are ready to package and publish the application.
For the image specification, please refer sdkdocs of roku at http://wwwimg.roku.com/static/sdk/ChannelChecklist.xlsx.

It records your interactions with websites to help you generate and maintain site automation, tests, and remove the need to manually step through repetitive tasks. Selenium IDE can be installed in Google Chrome from  here . For Firefox visit this  link . File upload in Selenium IDE cannot be automated simply by recording from the IDE. Because when we select the file input field, the dialog that opens up is a system window which cannot be controlled by Selenium IDE.

First, to support file upload in Selenium IDE, configure your browser to support file upload: Visit ‘chrome://
