MiniClient on Roku

[NetworkGuy]

I am curious on what it would take to port the mini-client to a Roku. I was looking at the Roku SDK and it seems that all Roku channels are written in BrightScript. https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/Developer+Guide

Is anyone familiar with BrightScript? (I have never heard of it before.)

I looked at this a couple years ago (before SageTV went open source). It would be interesting, and possible, but likely it would be a bit of work. It could be a fun project for someone.

Although Roku has its own set of unique issues and quirks. Although Sage could likely adjust to a limited extent. Other factors on the SageTV server side is that aside from the h.265 Roku clients, most of the rest of them don't do well with h.264 files that have framerates over 30FPS(which is the upper limit on supported frame rates).

Also, Roku has virtually no native support for mpeg2, which is most of what SageTV records by default in most markets. So you'd pretty much be constantly transcoding anything that was passed through a Roku device from SageTV.
