External Control App id help

Could someone please tell me the external control app id's for Hulu Plus and HBO GO? I don't see them listed in the SDK.


Thanks
Paul

    They're available on your box: http://yourRokuAddress:8060/query/apps
    I don't currently have Hulu Plus installed, and I'm not near a Roku at the moment to install, but HBO Go's id is 8378

      I wonder why query/apps isn’t listed in the bloody ECP documentation?!

      thanks for the tip. Just what I needed.

        Al I get is a list of the apps I have with no ID. Any idea how to get the number?

        The IP address that shows under Settings->System->About on your Roku device.

        Everything looks tight, I’d triple check that your IP address is correct.  Also I assume you tried one of the other channels and still got 404 error?
