Break It To Win Contest

UPDATE: Contest closed as of 12/27

All of the supported elements and attributes have now been documented on the wiki pages. I'll be adding another wiki page within the next week describing the template markup language and I plan on eventually posting a few blog articles about a few of the new elements (scrapers, extensions, streams) in ORML v1.2 to help explain them in greater detail.

In the Files section you will find a new beta version available to download. A few bugs were patched and 2 new preferences were added to this beta version to control the top margin of documents. The top margin of grid screens can be controlled with the GridScreenOverhangHeightSD/HD properties but for all other Roku screens the top margin is controlled by the height of the sd/hd overhang background images. If you modify the height of either of the overhang images please update the new prefs to reflect the exact height of those images.

And now for the contest. The rules are incredibly simple. Break the software! Modify the ORML feeds in every possible way imaginable to crash the channel. Please do not modify any files in the source folder. The hashes in the manifest.xml file must remain the same. The first 2 developers who post a new ticket accompanied by step by step instructions on how to reproduce the bug along with an attached crash report or screenshot will win a UV version of The Amazing Spiderman.

If the bug does generate a crash report please post it as an attachment. If the bug doesn't crash the channel but does produce some unexpected behavior please take a screenshot (http://192.168.x.x/plugin_inspect) and attach it to the ticket. After I've verified the bugs I will send the UV code to your sourceforge email alias (userName@users.sf.net). Make sure that the mail alias behavior in your sourceforge account settings is set to "Accept all mail."

There are two known bugs at this time. Both of them are described in the BUGS file in the docs folder. As long as the bug you post a ticket for is not found in the BUGS file then You Win! In addition to the UV code I will also include your user name along with a special thanks in the README file of future releases.

Good luck and have fun breaking the software!
