Build and sideload

ROKU_DEV_HOST=<ip> ROKU_DEV_PASSWORD=<pw> scripts/build.sh

Iterate on the feed locally

scripts/serve-feed.py &
# Override the feed URL in spec/public-domain-theater.json to
# https://<host>:8443/feed.json and re-build. The Roku must trust the cert,
# which means using a real public URL is easier in practice.
