I’m getting this error and can’t seem to understand why. This is inside a XML file which is the only reason I can think of this not working.
BRIGHTSCRIPT: ERROR: roRegistrySection: class PLUGIN|MARKUP on thread RENDER: pkg:/components/videoexamplescene.xml(136)
BrightScript Micro Debugger.

Registry operations are only allowed in a task thread. extends=“task” in your xml.
I am already extending scene. So how would that work? This is what I presently have.
<component name = "VideoExampleScene" extends = "Scene" >
I tried
<component name = "VideoExampleScene" extends = "Scene" extends="task">
<component name = "VideoExampleScene" extends = "Scene,task" >
But those throw up errors.
The diagnostic is confusing, let me decode it:
BRIGHTSCRIPT: ERROR: roRegistrySection: class PLUGIN|MARKUP on thread RENDER: pkg:/components/videoexamplescene.xml(136)
means to say something like
BRIGHTSCRIPT: ERROR: roRegistrySection: creation of a MAIN|TASK-only component failed on RENDER thread: pkg:/components/videoexamplescene.xml(136)"
I believe this - making the message human-readable - was addressed in 7.6, so you must be on 7.5.
Summary: if it’s registry you want to use - do it in the main thread or a task thread - not in the render one.
