Found a workaround. I think this will help fellow Mac-ppl!Telnet is not installed on Macs anymore due to it being less secure.&nbsp;Instead, use the netcat command "nc" with the tag -v (verbose) as follows:nc -v &lt;Roku-IP-address&gt; 8080From there, you can execute the keygen command!👍🏻&nbsp;ROKU...please update Mac/Linux instructions on this page to avoid this craziness!

In Putty we use telnetyou connect to your Roku device!You simply enter the roku ip address without the http or https113.1.123.12.12 not http://123.23.1.123port 8080&nbsp;watch this video I madehttps://c.themediacdn.com/embed/media/W3s3aS/iTtnaWjsAtP/O4JyNhsMeRe_1?preview=1

ferdiworks&nbsp;THANK YOU SO MUCH!! That definitely worked. Any Idea what this error means?&nbsp;

errors like that arrive when the data is to large or information is not present and missing!

Just run the telnet again but reboot or clear cache first!

If this post or above post fixed or solved your problem then mark as solved!

Mac no longer has Telnet installed. Installing Putty on the Mac involves several hoops (installing Xcode, etc).Trying to put aside the odd instructions from Roku to use the no-longer-built-in telnet command on Mac in the instructions for converting DP channels, is there a way to SSH in or do something else to get this key?
