Goodbye Goodbye is such a great song 🤘


Awesome! So sad about Elijah’s mental health issues.
Kids, don’t do drugs.


I use mine as an MP3 player. I put Finamp on it, loaded it with music, and listen during the day.

“works OK”
🤘 I’ll take it!


A mixed playlist is a playlist of mixed media. Movies, shows, audio, etc. all mixed together in a single playlist.


Once you get into it, it’s not that bad.
I liken it to the love child of Classic ASP and JavaScript.
🤔 …ok, maybe it is that bad.


🤘Enjoy


Roku only offers me shuffle in shows. Is there a way I can enable it in music
Want to shuffle play your entire music library?
On the home screen, move the cursor over the music library and press PLAY on your remote. It’ll play 2000 random songs.
What to shuffle play all songs by an artist?
Go to your music library and switch to one of the Artist views. Find the artist you want and press PLAY on your remote. It’ll play their songs in random order.
What to shuffle play a single album?
Go to your music library and switch to “Albums” view. Find the album you want and press * on your remote. Choose “Shuffle Play Album”
You can also do this with any album listed on the home screen.
Or, in the upcoming 3.1.0 release, I’ve added a Shuffle Play button as part of the redesign of the album screen.

and/or is there somewhere I could donate something small to your time to add a shuffle button to roku’s music client?
If you feel so inclined, donation links are at the top of my GH profile: https://github.com/1hitsong but money isn’t why I do this.


Which client were you using? Android? Roku? etc.


I put my time and effort into the Roku client because I’m not a C# programmer.
I’ve done karaoke once, and the song I chose was Blink-182 - All the small things.
So, I guess that’s my go-to song.


…and nothing of importance was lost.


The feature from web browser I use most that is missing from the Roku app is the option to increase playback speed.
Yeah, this one comes up pretty often. Roku provides us no method to change playback speed, unlike web browsers or other players, and because we are required to use their video playback component, our hands are tied.
The only thing we could possibly do is have the server transcode the video ad a different speed; however, the API doesn’t have this option and currently no one is working on adding it.
If you’re really a/the Roku app dev, cheers.
🍻 Yep, it’s really me. Cheers.


I’m what ways do you feel it’s stripped down?
I’m always looking for new feature requests to make it better 🤘
And the quality of the police work was documentary level realism for a Hollywood movie.
🤘 Sweet
