Quote:All Roku devices (express, premier, premier+, premier Ultra) plus all TVs handle the * button.
Beginning with Roku OS 8, the options overlay slides in whenever the * button is pressed, the Video node is in focus, and the OnKeyEvent() handler is fired. When the Video node is not in focus, the options overlay does not slide in and the OnKeyEvent() handler is fired.
If you are running the Video Node on older Roku devices, then the * button can only be detected at the channel level. As a result, you will not be able to disable the default UI on any of the older Roku devices.
I was thinking back on this issue, trying to make more sense of it. The 3600X was a compatible device with the OS 8 upgrade, and it currently runs OS 10. It makes me think that we're misinterpreting this developer section's definition of "older Roku devices", circa 2017. Couldn't it just be referring to the devices that couldn't be upgraded to OS 8?
What key code should be getting recorded in the log on a short press of the * button?
