it would be awesome to be able to do this. I want to write a chrome extension or greasemonkey script to tell the MOG app to play something based on a web click on mog.com, which would be a lot nicer than navigating with the remote and would mean you wouldn't have to switch your tv to the roku source if you're playing a game or something. I tried doing it in the same way the web-based roku remotes work but it's not workable for the reasons listed above. you have to assume you're in the MOG app at the first selection, arbitrarily pause for a long time between button presses so you know they have been fully processed, and since you're doing it blind if anything happens that you weren't expecting you're completely lost. if roku implemented a call to start an application (or ensure you're already in one), and allowed app developers to implement a single call like "play song/album/video with unique ID x" then this would be trivial. as it is, I don't think it's possible. 😐
does anyone have any more information I can look at to try and make it work?
edit: I see that some of this may be in the works, but I can't find the ECP docs everyone is talking about on the roku developer site. does anybody have a link?
