Install Necessary Packages
### Workflow
```bash
sudo apt-get install make
```
Modify code -> `make build-dev install` -> Use Roku remote to test changes -> `telnet ${ROKU_DEV_TARGET} 8085` -> `CTRL + ]` -> `quit + ENTER`
You will need to use telnet to see log statements, warnings, and error reports. You won't always need to telnet into your device but the workflow above is typical when you are new to BrightScript or are working on tricky code.
### Install Command Line Dependencies
You'll need [`make`](https://www.gnu.org/software/make) and [`curl`](https://curl.se).

Normally you would have to open up your browser and upload a .zip file containing the app code. These commands enable the app to be zipped up and installed on the Roku automatically which is essential for developers and makes it easy to upgrade in the future for users.
### Install Necessary Packages
```bash
sudo apt-get install make curl
```
### Deploy
Package up the application, send it to your Roku, and launch the channel:
```bash
make build-dev install
make install
```
Note: You only have to run this command once if you are not a developer. The Jellyfin channel will still be installed after rebooting your Roku device.

## Upgrade
Navigate to the folder where you installed the app then upgrade the code to the latest version:
You can also take a screenshot of the app to augment the bug report.
```bash
git pull
make screenshot

Deploy the app:
```bash
make build-dev install

Unfortunately there is no debugger. You will need to use telnet to see log statements, warnings, and error reports. You won't always need to telnet into your device but the workflow above is typical when you are new to BrightScript or are working on tricky code.

## Committing
Before committing your code, please run:
```bash
make format lint
```
This will format your code and run the CI checks locally to ensure you will pass the CI tests.
## (Optional) Update Images
### (Optional) Update Images
This repo already contains all necessary images for the app. This script only needs to be run when the [official Jellyfin images](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-ux) are changed to allow us to update the repo images.

## Adding a User Setting
Your new functionality may need a setting to configure its behavior, or, sometimes, we may ask you to add a setting for your new functionality, so that users may enable or disable it. If you find yourself in this position, please observe the following considerations when adding your new user setting.

### When giving your setting a name
Ideally, your setting will be named with a relevant noun such as ```Cinema Mode``` or ```Codec Support.``` Sometimes there is no such name that is sufficiently specific, such as with ```Clock```. In this case you must use a verb phrase to name your setting, such as ```Hide Clock.``` If your verb phrase _must_ be long to be specific, you may drop implied verbs if absolutely necessary, such as how ```Text Subtitles Only``` drops the implied ```Show.``` Do not use the infinitive form ```action-doing``` or ```doing stuff.``` Instead, use the imperative: ```Do Action``` or ```Do Stuff.``` Remember that _characters are a commodity in names._
Ideally, your setting will be named with a relevant noun such as `Cinema Mode` or `Codec Support.` Sometimes there is no such name that is sufficiently specific, such as with `Clock`.

Generally, we should not repeat the name of a setting's parent in the setting's name. Being a child of that parent implies that the settings are related to it.
