  • Bs2dtest - sometimes crashes&reboots the player, sometimes get

    'Dot' Operator attempted with invalid BrightScript Component or interface reference. (runtime error &hec) in ...dH/pkg:/source/graphics2d.brs(614)

    Seems to be the same from viewtopic.php?f=34&t=46221

  • Flickr - exits on start. Console says: “unexpected error getting five_photos.”

  • MrssTemplate - does not load, console shows

    *** ERROR compiling /pkg:/source/generalUtils.brs: SUB or FUNCTION defined twice. (compile error &had) in .../pkg:/source/generalUtils.brs(96)

    On examination, isXmlElement is defined in two places, in generalUtils.brs and in Types.brs

  • SimpleGrid - source directory is missing, so does not install:

    ------->Script directory "/source" does not exist in zip archive.

Please provide fixes?

mrsstemplate in sdk 41 in broken:

first, mrsstemplate zip has a space in its name.
roku41/examples/source/mrsstemplate$ make
*** Creating mrsstemplate .zip ***

removing old application zip ../../zips/mrsstemplate .zip
rm: cannot remove ../../zips/mrsstemplate': No such file or directory rm: cannot remove .zip’: No such file or directory
make: *** [mrsstemplate] Error 1

second, it try to access files that do not exist:

roku41/examples/source/mrsstemplate$ make
*** Creating mrsstemplate .zip ***

removing old application zip ../../zips/mrsstemplate .zip
creating destination directory ../../zips
setting directory permissions for ../../zips
copying imports
mkdir: cannot create directory source/common': File exists cp: cannot stat ../../../../../apps/common/General.brs’: No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat ../../../../../apps/common/StringUtils.brs': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat ../../../../../apps/common/Types.brs’: No such file or directory
