Play video and fetch content from the server

Hi,

I am trying to test something. What I want is to have two sections on the screen. Let’s say right section is playing the video from the server and left section should be polling the server for some content every few seconds and if there is anything new , it will show that on the left side.

In short, I want two tasks running simultaneously. Is that possible ?? and if yes, how ??

Look at the custom video player example in the SDK - it shows you how to play a video in a portion of the screen with other information being updated in the rest. Note Roku can only play a single video, or a single audio file at one time - they can’t be mixed, and you can’t play more than one simultaneously.
