What can I do to help with this project?
I am self-taught with the tiny bit of coding that I do know, and can pick up just about anything. I could…idk document something?
I don’t know much, but I’d still like to help if I could. ☺️

The #1 thing we need are testers. There is such a wide variety of Roku devices, user settings, video formats, etc. that we simply can not test every scenario. This leads to gaps in testing where for the 2-3 of us who tested it for weeks never saw a bug that someone else experienced in the 1st hour after release.
Coding wise, it's easy to get involved.
- You can pick a bug ticket and fix it.
- Or pick an enhancement ticket and make it.
- Or pick a feature request and make it.
- Or add something you personally want to the client.
That last one is how I joined. I wanted to play music in the client, but at the time it didn't support music playback. So I wrote it.

What can I do to help test? I’ve got two Rokus and a friend with one, too.
Follow the steps to get your Roku setup and VS Code and required plugins installed and configured: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-roku/blob/master/docs/DEVGUIDE.md
Then look at the list of open pull requests, clone the feature branch, and test it out: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-roku/pulls
Good stuff! And thanks for all you do!
