In app search function does not work with only Movies category but works fine with both Movies and series categories.

Hi Michael I am using v1.0.0.0 beta.3 and I'm encountering a very strange problem. I have in total four channels on Roku, two have only movies and two have both movies and series, the in-app search option works perfectly with the latter but it completely freezes, the debug output is attached below

the other issue is that after a particular movie or episode has finished being watched it does not automatically get removed from the continue watching row list.

Can you give me the feed url and the steps to reproduce the problem?

[wajidbux]

feed url for movies and series https://mangatv.dreamhosters.com/roku.json

feed url for only movies https://movielandroku.dreamhosters.com/roku.json

after sideloading the channel the search option does not work the entire screen freezes.

Can you give me an example of a Search string that produces the error?

[wajidbux]

you can use any movie name that shows up on the grid screen, once u click on search and type any alphabet there is a black screen of death.

I just ran a quick test. It's not hanging. It appears to be timing out processing the search because you have a large number of content items to process. For example, your first row contains 1,580 items!

I'll have to take a closer look to see what, if anything, can be done.

I agree there is a lot of content but there was no problem while the channel was in direct publisher. kindly take a look at the third screenshot as well I've been getting this error in the player task on line 103 for a long time now. this error message shows under analytics in the dashboard under channel health in the roku dashboard. Thanks alot

I will have a fix for the Search issue soon. As for the player task, do you have the Roku Ad Framework enabled?

[wajidbux]

yes the RAF is enabled. Thank you for looking into the issue.

This seems to work with Roku's sample ad URL. Can you provide the ad server url you are using? And, are you specifying ad breaks?

[wajidbux]

I'm using VAST3 tags.

Does the display of the player task message prevent you from submitting your channel? It may be a false positive.

[wajidbux]

No, it does not. I have already published 3 versions but that error does not seem to go away. Nothing shows up on the brightscript debugger, just the dashboard under channel analytics.

I ran a test with your ad server URL. I stepped through the code and everything looked OK. I would assume what you're seeing is a false positive from Roku. I've seen some recent posts on the forum that mention this type of thing happening elsewhere in their framework.

If you haven't already, please consider adding your experiences using this project to discussion #55

I may have stumbled on the player task issue. I got the error in debug while testing some code. It would only happen if I started a video and immediately returned to the Details screen. An internal Roku array was not initialized for some reason. My code relies on that array. I should have a fix for this also.

[wajidbux]

Ok. Thanks in advance and I will share my experience.

Resolved in beta.5 release.
