roConnect - New Channel to Stream From Computer to Roku

Nice website; good luck with this. I'll try when I get the chance.

Looks great, i have been working on something similar actually.

i plan on still releasing it in a few weeks, i see now i need to step it up with features and graphics ... I also added imdb scraping... with a few other features i hope no one beats me too!! lol

I have gotten a lot of help on this, you know who you are thanks...

I'm looking for more beta testers and the developer community is full of really smart people, probably most of you are smarter than me. For that reason I would love your feedback on the channel and web app. (Android app forthcoming). Check it out at http://www.ro-connect.com. Thanks!

I've try it under Windows 2000 server but:
1) i've modify some php.ini parameters because application tell "undefined variable". i've fix it
2) application web works fine with Mozilla, not with IExplorer 8 because missing buttons config & index
3) roku application don't work. In debug i see Error invalid or missing PHY in routine category.

I like the project goal but i cannot test more because roku application dont show more.
Cheers

Hi there,
the problems:
IE8 solved,
php vars solved,
Wamp running fine,
roconnect installed fine into Roku Sd device,
but when running the application .brs in telnet debug of roku i see the error:
Invalid or Missing PHY, into the category routine.

I hope can help me.
Thanks

Does anyone know what might be causing this error? I've looked at other forums and it appears that one cause is defining min bandwidth. The weird thing is I can't reproduce this on my own machine. I'll keep trying different environments and see what I get.

"Invalid or Missing PHY" is usually caused by a bad URL. If it's happening on the poster screen, then it's probably a bad HD/SDPosterURL.

This is the exactly debug while running roconnect.

Your channel looks very interesting and useful. For the last few months, I've been using MyMedia, which has been very difficult.

Is this channel currently, and if so, will it remain free? Any information would be appreciated.
