Better samples needed.

[kosso]

So many of the samples here appear to be extremely old. And many of them do not appear to provide any examples of how to use them.

eg: ButtonExample or ButtonGroupExample (in ux components / widgets )

They do show a simple scene with a button (or group). But no example script on how to actually use them.

The ButtonGroupExample provides nothing when it comes to showing which button is in focus, or any of the things expected from a sample.

This seems like a huge oversight, when it comes to providing samples to learn from.

Is there a better / more up to date Github repo anywhere with better examples?

Also, Is there site with better, more easy to navigate documentation than what exists at developer.roku.com/en-gb/docs?

Thanks.

See you got no response. But, I agree... these samples are old. Not very good for right now at all.

Has anyone seen some samples that maybe a 3rd party made?

I will say though, that once I eventually wrapped my head around it, I was able to build what I needed. And I ended up quite enjoying it.

It's just a very VERY different coding paradigm than I'm used to.

GOOD LUCK! :)

I have a big update to do on it soon, so all this lighthearted empathy might change soon! :D

The BrightScript stuff is what helped me the most (and their VSCode plugin). Steep learning curve, but you'll get there, I'm sure.

@TwitchBronBron was very helpful.

Thanks, yeah I have a channel up. But have run into issues with different roku devices, and screen sizes etc.
Actually created an MCP to feed in to cursor to start making heads or tails of it by scraping their (Roku) documentation. Which is not the greatest in my opinion. Found many things that contradicted things I had already read. I think I've side loaded this stuff over a 1000 times it feels like lol.
