Thank you for the great work on the wizard it has helped a lot with converting my channel over from direct publisher. I am new to coding and was wondering how hard it would be to add a search function to be able to look up videos that are on the channel for people to find them more quickly. thank you

Hello, I have been trying to work on this enhancement If i put my code here could you check and see if this would help with the search function? let me know if this helps or hinders thank you.

`sub init()
m.top.backgroundUri = "pkg/images/background.jpg"

  example = m.top.findNode("Example")

  examplerect = example.boundingRect()
  centerx = (1280 - examplerect.width) / 2
  centery = (720 - examplerect.height) / 2
  example.translation = [ centerx, centery ]

  m.top.setFocus(true)
enterButton = m.top.findNode("enterButton")
enterButton.observeField("buttonSelected", "onEnterButtonPressed")
end sub

sub onEnterButtonPressed()
'Get the text entered in the keyboard
enteredText = m.top.findNode("keyboard").getEnteredText()

sub searchChannelForContent()
    enteredText = m.top.dialog.getEnteredText() ' Get the text entered in the Keyboarddialog
    searchResults = searchChannel(enteredText) ' Call the function that performs the search

    ' Handle the search results...
end sub

end sub

sub showdialog()
keyboarddialog = createObject("roSGNode", "Keyboarddialog")
keyboarddialog.backgroundUri = "pkg:images/keyboard.png"
keyboarddialog.title = "Example"
m.top.dialog = keyboarddialog
end sub

function onKeyEvent(key as String, press as Boolean) as Boolean
  if press then
    if key = "OK"

      showdialog()

      return true
    end if
  end if

  return false
end function`

Thanks for the contribution. However, I'm knee deep in subscription code. This is low priority.

[kf5ewy]

i understand. Thank you for all the work you do to help us with roku channels.
