Dropbox Streaming Roku Screensaver

This screensaver will allow you to randomly display photos from a Dropbox directory to your Roku.

Getting Started

1. Copy the code locally
2. Edit main.brs and add your dropbox API token
3. Enable Roku developer mode
4. Build a zip file of this directory. IMPORTANT do not zip the folder, zip the individual files. Trust me, this kind of problem can create drinking problems. Select all of the files and add them to an archive
5. Go to your Roku's IP and login (see the developer mode link for details)
6. Upload your zip file
7. Click "Install" or "Replace"
8. On your Roku Go to ⋅⋅Settings ⋅⋅Screensaver ⋅⋅Dropbox Photos (dev) ⋅⋅Preview (to see if it actually works)

Hey, it didn't work

Troubleshooting roku scripts is not easy.

1. edit main.brs and change RunScreenSaver() to main()
2. Telnet to <ROKU_IP> 8085
3. Use print statements
4. Try to follow the Roku docs
