launch command questions

Two questions about the launch command an netflix channel:
1. will app id 12 always be netflix?
2. are there any parameters that can be supplied to the netflix app to do things like launch a particular movie? or start playing a particular movie where I left off?

    1. That is not guaranteed. You should query for the apps, and launch the id that matches your desired channel name.
    2. That is something we've planned to add, but it's not currently available.

    Thanks Kevin. Another question about the ECS. I'm trying to keep a connection open to the Roku box from my client. I find the connection drop after about 5 seconds. Does the software on the box allow me keep a connection up indefinitely?
