Requires setting your Roku to dev mode and side loading. Didn't want to toss some half finished slop onto the app store. It's been in a semi idle state because it covers most of my use cases and I don't really know enough about other people's use cases to know what needs to be fixed or updated before people find it "acceptable". (I'm not a BrightScript dev, which gives a bit of extra imposter syndrome and makes me nervous to consider a thing shippable too).
BrightScript is awful, but if you can help develop it would be great (the server is in .NET but the Roku app is in Roku's BrightScript). If not, testing and feedback and prioritization of feature requests also helps a ton.
We have to write some BrightScript at work in order to maintain an SDK for our QoS data analytics product. It's one of those things where you forget about it until you have to work on it again, then you get to go through all the stages of "why would someone do this" all over.
I think Roku is actually one of the better OTT platforms out there, but that's absolutely in spite of BrightScript.
