Re: External Control App id help

Everything looks tight, I’d triple check that your IP address is correct.  Also I assume you tried one of the other channels and still got 404 error?

And as usual a Roku reboot wouldn’t hurt

under settings-system-advanced system settings-control by mobile apps

it is set to:

network access - permissive

but it does not launch the channel, it just sits on the home screen or whatever screen it is in at the time.

Re: External Control App id help

Did you reboot the Roku just to rule that out?  your syntax is indeed correct

Re: External Control App id help

It has to be a POST request and what you're trying to do will perform a GET.  The easiest way to do it is with cURL:

curl -d "" http://192.168.1.153:8060/launch/145851
