Disable SSL verification for roVideoPlayer and roVideoScreen
These two components do not implement the ifUrlTransfer interface, so I can't tell my video players to ignore SSL verification procedures. This is a problem because my video dev server is served over HTTPS with a self-signed cert. Rather than get the self-signed cert to use, is there any other way to just have Roku ignore verification when playing videos?

Will your server serve the videos if you just use the "http" scheme instead of "https"?

No, not in this case.

I don't know that it works, but have you looked at using ifHttpAgent SetCertificatesFile, specifying a .pem that you include in your app that includes your self-signed CA certificate?

Re: Disable SSL verification for roVideoPlayer and roVideoSc
It would be nice if `EnableHostVerification` was exposed to the roVideoPlayer. We've been trying to isolate possible DNS issues and hoped to bypass the host verification in the roVideoPlayer. I assume this is still not an option?
