Roku Developer Program

[kingfisher1111]

Hi ,
Need your help. I want to watch my regional channels in ROKU. But the website owner wasn't interested in providing on ROKU.
the website name is www.telugulive.com I can give the USER ID and password. If someone can PM me, I can give the user ID and password once you PM ME.
Can you built a simple ROKU application for me with no hi-fi. All I need is I want to login and access the channels on the website using ROKU.
Or can you tell me how to create a ROKU application? If you build, it make hour or more, If I build, 3 or 4 months. But I am really interested to learn.
Thanks
King

Hi,

as I see from http://www.telugulive.com/, it broadcasts using mms stream. Roku supports only HLS (HTTP Live Streaming). So, you can't build a channel for Roku, which plays the content from http://www.telugulive.com/.

Dmitry, what can you say about bestrussiantv.com? Will Roku be able to play their streams?

How do you know that it uses MMS but not HLS?

It's because of the following system requirement:
Player: Windows Mediaplayer 11

Windows Mediaplayer doesn't play HLS. The only stream option on it is mms.
