Status of the Roku app

[TwitchBronBron]

Hey, I just discovered Jellyfin yesterday, and it's looking really great! However, we exclusively use Roku devices in our house...and the Roku app is quite lacking. I'm a programmer, and have some experience with Roku development. (I maintain the vscode-brightscript-language). I'd love to pitch in and help with the Roku app...but before I started hacking away at it, I wanted to make sure you didn't have a ton of commits sitting locally that weren't pushed?

Tagging @bisby. I believe they said they were learning as they went along though.

No local commits waiting. It was definitely a learning project and would love some Roku experience. We use mostly Roku devices in my house as well, which is why "something" was better than nothing, so I completely understand.

I can't offer anything in the way of useful Roku development help, but it would be great to see this. I migrated from Plex to Emby when Plex stopped working with a Roku application update. Emby seems okay generally, but the Roku app usually crashes at least once during any video I watch. It'd be great to see a fully open source alternative that I could at least try to help fix issues with if I came across them.

I know this comment doesn't add much; I just wanted to make it clear that all of your efforts are really appreciated!

@bisby sounds good. I'll start messing around and see what I can add to the mix. I definitely appreciate how much work you've done thus far, so thanks!
