Roku Developer Program

Hi,
I have a rendezvous channel registration screen in my roku channel.It will generate a linking code on first call.And then after typing and linking the code in the channel site , the prelink url will be polled after each 15 seconds.But i am getting the successful registration response only during the first prelink call ( Note : only if we have linked the device before the first 15 seconds) .But if i link the device in subsequent intervals after the first prelink call , i will be getting registration failure response. Do anyone have some corrective measures regarding this ?

But the same thing gives successful output on web debugging tools like Charles proxy

below i have given the code snippet :

Function doRegistration()

 while true 
    msg = Wait(15, regscreen.GetMessagePort())   
    print "sending the request.."
    if msg = invalid
          print "Request No :";count.ToStr()
          if timer.TotalSeconds() >= m.regcodeExpireTime
              ShowDialog1Button("","This code has expired. Press OK to get a new one","Ok") 
              regscreen.SetRegistrationCode("")
              regscreen.Show()
              goto TOK
          end if
  
         status = checkRegistrationStatus(regCode)
         if status = 0 
              print "registration successful in doRegistration()"
              print FormatTime(time.TotalSeconds(),"Time taken to register : ")              
              posterfacade = CreateObject("roPosterScreen")  'facade screen
              posterfacade.ShowMessage("Loading...")
              posterfacade.Show()
              regscreen.Close()
              canvas.Close()
              return status
              else if status > 0
                  print "registration pending in doRegistration()"
              end if
   end if
  end while
end Function

debugg output response during the first prelink call ( Note : if i have linked the device after the first 15 seconds):

sending the request..
Request No :1
transfer is completed and status is :1
invalid response code 404 and response not received.
url :https://someapi.com
failure reason :The requested URL returned error: 404
registration pending in doRegistration()
sending the request..
Request No :2
transfer is completed and status is :1
invalid response code 404 and response not received.
url :https://someapi.com
failure reason :The requested URL returned error: 404
registration pending in doRegistration()
...............
.............. continues

But in case if i had linked the device before the first 15 seconds, i will get the successful registration result.Can anyone have an inner view into that ?

Thanks.

404 is page not found, so your url is bad.

Thanks for your quick response Destruk.But i am getting the successful registration result when i call the prelink url within the first 15 seconds.That means i should have registered in the website before the first prelink call goes.If the case is the problem with url as u said, it should have returned 404 ,here also.But it is getting fine here.Any guess ?

Please Note : The same thing gives successful output on web debugging tools like Charles proxy.So this shows the request from Roku is making some problem.Right?

If you resolve the 404 error then perhaps it will work after the first 15 seconds. You'll need to figure that out as it pertains to your server and code interaction with your server.
You can check the status of a url by putting a 'stop' breakpoint in after the http is set, and from the telnet prompt use something like http.geturl()

There are other debugging checks you can do, add print statements, test what the request from the roku is, debug your erorr log on the server, etc. You're not giving us much to go on saying it just works the first time. Why does it work the first time? Find that out and the rest will become more obvious.

With your roku code saying the code has 'expired' - perhaps you're not updating the code on the server side when the roku changes the code, or they are no longer in sync. It could be any number of hundreds of possible problems even down to a typo in one of the scripts or files on your server.

Yes. It was a great suggestion from your side Destruk.Let me have a check on this.
