What We Do
Two focused services. Zero scope creep.
We’re deliberately narrow: Roku only. That means faster diagnosis, fewer surprises, and a codebase we already know inside and out.
Service 01
Roku Bug Fixing Service
Your channel is live and something’s broken — a crash on certain devices, a memory leak after long playback sessions, or a Roku Store rejection you can’t reproduce locally. We get in, find the root cause, and ship a fix.
- Crash & freeze fixes — including device-specific and low-memory failures.
- Playback & streaming issues — HLS/DASH, buffering, DRM, and captions.
- Store rejection triage — we read the rejection notes and fix the actual cause.
- Performance tuning — slow channel launch, laggy UI, memory leaks.
- Deep linking & search — broken content discovery or voice search integration.
- Legacy BrightScript cleanup — stabilizing old or undocumented codebases.
Typical turnaround
2–5 business days
Engagement style
Fixed-price per bug, or hourly for open-ended triage
You get
A tested fix, a short write-up of the root cause, and a diff you can review before it ships
Service 02
Roku App Starter Kit
Skip the weeks of boilerplate. The starter kit is a production-ready SceneGraph foundation covering the parts every Roku channel needs, so your team can focus on content and brand from day one.
- SceneGraph architecture — clean, documented component structure built to scale.
- Video playback preconfigured — HLS/DASH, ads-ready, captions support.
- Grid, details & search screens — the core screens every content channel needs.
- Deep linking & analytics hooks — ready to wire into your existing stack.
- Roku Store submission checklist — avoid the most common rejection reasons.
- Documentation & 30 days of support — so your team isn’t stuck after handoff.
