Roku Screenshot

I am trying to take a screenshot of roku app playing on lcdtv.

Put your Roku in developer mode. Confirm the IP address of your Roku.

Side load your app to the Roku:

Go to a browser and type in your Roku IP address, dev username and password for your box when you set it to developer mode. Go to Utilities. Hit the screenshot button. Save the image. You will not be able to take screenshots of a video playing. Edit: You won't be able to take screenshots of anything that's not side loaded.

I followed above instructions but utilities screenshot gives empty notification:

HD mode 1280x720 image required for channel store upload

You can take screenshots and even record video of any app on your device. For doing that you need to buy Video Capture Card (HDMI -> USB) and than it will connect to your PC as webcam. This is good think for demo and mobility (You can test your app even without an external monitor or TV) just with your laptop.

But you cannot take screenshots of apps except dev one. If this is your case and you want to take a screenshot of your dev app you need to open device ip in browser and in Tools select create a screenshot.

Roku does not provide the screenshot at video streaming. you take a screenshot and screenshot is captured. But, display screenshot color is black. Any other functionality screenshot is available on Roku.

You can take the screenshot of you dev channel Only. You can't take the screenshot of Roku Home Screen or any other channel available on Roku Store using the steps what you have mentioned.
