Roku Developer Program

Hello! I am new to Roku and have finally finished building part of my channel...I would like to submit to be listed in the channel store but do not know how...can you please give me directions on how to get listed? thanks!

Hi,

you need to package the channel on your device using your developer id - you generate this id by telnet to your roku on port 8080, and typing:

genkey

at the > prompt. When genkey completes, copy the id and save in a file somewhere secure.

Next upload your channel to your device and package the channel using the password you just generated, save the package and then create a Public channel at owner.roku.com, and upload your package to that site, then click submit, we will review you channel, then if all looks OK will test the channel intensively, then publish if no problems found.

Please endeavor to make your channel as professional as possible, check for spelling errors and that your graphics comply with the Artwork Guidlines document in the SDK.

Thanks Joel...I went to owner.roku.com and it only gives me the opportunity to create a private channel....your note says to create a public channel....am i doing something wrong?

[donnamcafee]

ok...I have found it...now what roku do I choose to have access to all of the boxes? the only options are USB, Roku 3 and two others...

Has it been tested on all those models?

If you want to be listed on all models, don't choose any models and set the minimum firmware to 3.0 or lower.
