Config:

Partial example configuration for application/rokuSettings

These settings allow you to turn on or off each of the 3 types of bif files that are generated.

  "application/rokuSettings": {
    "enabled": true,
    "bifProfiles": [
      {
        "name": "roku-sd",
        "format": "sd",
        "title": "Roku BIF (SD)",
        "enabled": true,
        "slug": "roku-bif-sd"
      },
      {
        "name": "roku-hd",
        "format": "hd",
        "title": "Roku BIF (HD)",
        "enabled": true,
        "slug": "roku-bif-hd"
      },
      {
        "name": "roku-fhd",
        "format": "fhd",
        "title": "Roku BIF (FHD)",
        "enabled": true,
        "slug": "roku-bif-fhd"
      }
    ]
  },

Partial example JSON configuration for application/processors

This setting allows you to turn the Roku Bif tool on or off

{
	"application/processors": {
		"processorList": {
			"rokuBifs": {
				"urlMatches": [],
				"urlExcludes": [],
				"rule": "",
				"enabled": false
			}
		}
	}
}

Depending on which Roku Bif profiles are enabled, a .bif file should be generated.

Note:

.bif files are binary in nature, currently the system allows you to view them but it is not advised to do so as they may be very large in nature.
