This should do it:

1. create text file named "run" in the project top directory with this:
   

   #!/bin/bash
   #ROKU_DEV_TARGET=192.168.1.25   # Roku 2XS
   ROKU_DEV_TARGET=192.168.1.28   # put YOUR roku IP here
   
   # wake up/interrupt Roku - workaround for fw5.4 deadly bug
   curl -sS -d '' http://$ROKU_DEV_TARGET:8060/keypress/Home
   curl -sS -d '' http://$ROKU_DEV_TARGET:8060/keypress/Home
   
   # build. zip _must_ change for Roku to accept re-deploy (stupid Roku!)
   cd -- "$(dirname "$0")"
   touch timestamp
   zip -FS -9 -r bundle * -x run.sh extras
   
   # deploy
   curl -f -sS --user rokudev:nuisance --anyauth -F "mysubmit=Install" -F "archive=@bundle.zip" -F "passwd=" http://$ROKU_DEV_TARGET/plugin_install  \
   | python -c 'import sys, re; print "\n".join(re.findall("<font color=\"red\">(.*?)</font>", sys.stdin.read(), re.DOTALL))'

   
   


2. Put your correct IP and rokudev password there (or use environment vars instead, whatever)


3. "chmod +x run" from Terminal, so it's executable


4. Now double-clicking on this in Finder or running from Terminal will create bundle.zip and upload it to the player.

PS. renamed from "run.sh to "run" and added `cd -- "$(dirname "$0")"` so it will work correct with double-click from Finder. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5125907/how-to-run-a-shell-script-in-os-x-by-double-clicking/2971... for the why.
PPS. re-using same file for multiple projects as symlink or alias won't do since Finder resolves to the original location. Use hard link instead.

Thank you I'm completely new to this we just recently got a TCL Roku TV and I figured I'd try to make a news feed channel for my forum.

How exactly do I use this?

<scratches head> i guess it takes them a while to update because of caching. Anyway here is what i wrote 
http://chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/125 ... pt-for-mac
I'll tweak a little bit the above script to account for http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5125907/how-to-run-a-shell-script-in-os-x-by-double-clicking/29710607#29710607 - in other words what a normal person would expect, to run it by double-clicking on the file. There is a caveat with the current directory and i want to see how it fares with symlinks vs hard ones
