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?

    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.
