This is probably a simple question but I can’t seem to find an answer. I am just assuming that I make my RoImageCanvas screens to use 1280x720 but what if someones Roku was using 720x480, would everything automatically resize or would I have images running off the screen? Thanks in advance.
I assume it behaves the same as with roScreen (but I’m not sure) - it will just resize, no problem
Unfortunately, no. The roImageCanvas will not scale automatically. You’ll need to adjust your layers according to the screen resolution.
Here’s a previous discussion about this in which I provided some code that I use to accomplish this without too much headache: https://forums.roku.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=47220&p=321624#p321271
Thanks, I was hoping that it would scale automatically. @TheEndless , is there anyway you can give a quick example of how to use your HDRectToSDRect() function. Thanks in advance.
(Edit) I have changed from 1080p to 720p and my channel still looks as it should, not sure if this will always be the case though.
720p isn’t SD, so I don’t think you’ve accomplished anything by changing resolution. You really need to test on an old SD TV.

@renojim not sure what I was thinking lol. You are correct I didn’t accomplish anything. Now that I know that RoImageCanvas does not resize, is there a list of resolutions that Roku uses? It seems that I can only test in 1280x720 because I don’t have an older tv or older roku.
