Open source all you want! It doesn't change the fact that they're spying the contents of your screen no matter what input is being used with Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) technology

That looks neat, the code appears be mostly in C, seems reasonable documented and is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/rokudev/lt-sdk

I wonder what would make this better (for some use cases at least) than venerable FreeRTOS? Or Zephyr? Or any of the other many, many RTOSes? In particular, the ESP32 comes with top notch documentation and SDKs that will make beginners at least want to stay with Espressif's modified RTOS for a while.

I wish they would offer the instruction in text as well rather than only in videos. Videos become stale and can't easily be used as a reference.

The good thing is, it is not written in Brightscript.

>that is already used in our industry-changing Roku remote controls.

Why does a remote control require a RTOS?

Please someone make a Roku remote with a physical keyboard.

Does this meaningfully allow a person to push a modified version to their own TV without using a screwdriver?

On the topic that will likely pervade this news item: does anyone know the best FOSS TV system

I don't know if I'm missing something but from what I can see...

They don't seem to have any written documentation online, not even a list of features. They seem to have some doxygen docs on the repo, but they're not built anywhere. The only information ready to check are YouTube videos. The developer forum link they have in the top right doesn't work (I think since January they killed their forums).

It's a chore just to know what does it do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
