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:

• Application Installer (Web: 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.
• Remote Console (Telnet: port 8085), enabling remote Debugging.
• Customization of display, audio, device model and information, controls, captioning and localization.
• Code Editor and Console for BrightScript code development and debugging.

With remote services enabled, the desktop simulator can be detected and integrated to the VS Code BrightScript Extension, and other development tools, as a real Roku device, for deploy, control, deep linking and debugging. You can find the installers for this desktop application (for all platforms) in the Releases page.

Below you will find the links for the documentation of this project, how to use, build and contribute to the application.
