Open source all you want! It doesn't change the fact that they're spying the contents of your screen no matter what input is being used with Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) technology

That looks neat, the code appears be mostly in C, seems reasonable documented and is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/rokudev/lt-sdk

The good thing is, it is not written in Brightscript.

I wish they would offer the instruction in text as well rather than only in videos. Videos become stale and can't easily be used as a reference.
