Trouble Getting Roku Certification

Thanks for the help and insights. Yes, the only reason for the fork was for delete functionality.

I've installed JellyRock and am testing it now...

Hey @Kandy & @cewert,

I've been using JellyRock for a day now and it seems quite solid and provides a lot of delete functionality. Thanks!

The one extra "nice to have" would be the ability to delete a running show or movie as playback approaches the end. Basically the same time the outro message appears. I have it working in the Jellyfin w/ Delete code.

The following launches a new thread allowing the UI to remain responsive. 

The one tricky part of deleting a running video is that it can't be deleted while the file is being read/locked by the underlying OS. The logic I applied was to wait a predetermined about of time before calling the DELETE Jellyfin service. I wrote a reusable or extendable component that will wait for XXms and then call a function.

Take a look at these files:

• CallFunctionAfterDelay.xml
  
• CallFunctionAfterDelay.bs
  
• CallFunctionAfterDelayFunctions.bs
  

Here's the code that uses the component:

Code:

   callFunctionAfterDelay = CreateObject("roSGNode", "CallFunctionAfterDelay")
   callFunctionAfterDelay.control = TaskControl.RUN
   callFunctionAfterDelay.msToWait = 60 * 1000 ' Give the viewer time to click away from the episode
   callFunctionAfterDelay.functionName = "deleteItem"
   callFunctionAfterDelay.functionArguments = { itemID: itemID }

The one short coming of the code is that the functionName / logic has to be added to the CallFunctionAfterDelayFunctions.bs file. It's actually a short coming of SceneGraph. Components can have zero or more fields defined. Their type is restricted by this XSD file. If a field type is defined assocarray, and that assocarray includes a function reference (or any type not supported by the XSD), that element will be silently removed from the assocarray when it's assigned to the component field. 

Take a look at the above code, and please add the functionality of deleting a running video...
