Desktop Emulator for Roku 2D API

BrightScript Emulator is a desktop application designed to simulate Roku devices for development purposes. It enables developers to test and debug BrightScript applications on macOS, Windows, and Linux without requiring physical Roku hardware.

Key Features:

  • Web Installer: Facilitates deployment of side-loaded apps with screenshot capabilities.
  • ECP Services: Supports automation and data integration via a service (port 8060) and WebSocket-based ECP-2 service for Roku mobile app control.
  • Telnet Server: Provides remote debugging access on port 8085.
  • Customizable Interface: Allows adjustment of display settings, device model information, controls, and localization.

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for developers working with Roku applications, this emulator provides a reliable environment to test and debug apps as if they were running on real Roku devices. It enhances the development workflow by enabling seamless integration with tools like the VS Code BrightScript Extension. The emulator can be installed via winget.

BrightScript Simulator - Desktop Application

GitHub Build Quality Gate Status Security Rating Slack

This project was created to develop a multi-platform desktop application for the BrightScript Simulation Engine, please visit the engine library repository and know all about the project history, features and limitations: http://github.com/lvcabral/brs-engine

The objective of this application is to extend the brs-engine, making it a full Roku device simulator, providing features such as:

  • Web Installer (default port 80), allowing deploy of side-loaded apps and screenshots.
  • ECP Service (default port 8060), that allows automation and data integration with external applications.
  • ECP-2 Service (WebSockets), supporting the Roku mobile application to control the simulator.
  • Telnet Server (port 8085), enabling remote Debugging.
  • Customization of display, device model and information, controls and localization.

This way, the desktop simulator can be detected and handled by the VS Code BrightScript Extension, and other development tools, as a real Roku device, for deploy and debugging. You can find the installers for this desktop application (for all platforms) at this repository Releases page.
