I recently got clued into the fact that you can enable side-loading on Roku devices. However, I have no idea where to get the apps for it. Since Rokus don’t run Android, I can’t install APKs like I did on my Nvidia Shield TV. Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Hooks into Invidious. Works like a charm.
As a Roku dev who frequently looks at Brightscript projects on github… How have I not found this before this post?! The only reason I have premium is because I couldn’t find a decent workaround on Roku.
I love this paragraph:
There’s a cliché about how a lot of open source software is “Made with ♡”. This project in particular is not. Playlet was created out of spite, because I believe I have watched enough back-to-back, unskippable Youtube ads for a lifetime.
It loads with “deleting system32”. My heart skipped for a sec, before I remembered that I only own one windows computer and the Roku isn’t it haha
Looks awesome!
That’s funny, mine had its flux capacitor warming up :)
Woah. That’s interesting.
Which kind of Roku device are you using? Stick, box, or tv? Reason I ask is that there may be some workarounds for some devices over others, e.g. casting from phone or screen-sharing from PC.
Roku Ultra 4800R.
Ditch the Roku and get another Shield or other Android TV device.
