I am Working on streaming channel for the Roku platform and I am trying to fetch network packets in Roku TV. I need to implement Socket IO client implementation from the Roku TV side. For currently, I am using a custom-designed web-socket but unable to establish the connection.  Do we have any socket IO library in the Roku platform Or anything else that we can user here for implementing this feature?

You could try this:

https://developer.roku.com/docs/references/brightscript/components/rostreamsocket.md

There isnt a lib i know of.

I know this topic is almost a year old now, but I was wondering if a better solution was ever found.

I myself am looking to connect to a socket.io v2.x server (via wss/https), and I haven't found a viable solution as of yet. Compared to the competitors (tvOS/AndroidTV), which make this rather easy to do at this point, I have struggled to try and implement this myself. Polling really isn't an option in my case.

Hi,
There is a websocket library https://github.com/SuitestAutomation/BrightWebSocket. However, it does not support secure sockets.
