Roku Developer Program

No, it doesn't. I have thought about adding this, though. I thought about adding a .url file type. You have to keep in mind that the box is limited in what is compatible, so you'd have to get the Youtube URL to the MP4 version of the video.

Hi there,

i use MyMedia with satisfaction from the beginning of the project.
I use it (and Roku device, of course) in my shop and i wish "shuffling" (and looping) all the videos in my server.
I have thousand of adv video to show having short length (about 1-2 minutes each) and i wish see them "shuffling" on TV and not "play all them in sequence".

Any help how looping & shuffling the videos?

It's not something that's possible right now, but I'll put it on the list of future features.

Just installed MyMedia on a Pink Pogoplug running optware ( http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/PlugComputers). Took me a while to get MyMedia working but it's working well now. One issue I had that others may need to know about. My music collection includes classical music and there a a number of music titles with accented characters which are stored in unicode format. The python library complains and throws an "'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3"" The workaround is to replace every unicode in your music library with an ascii character e.g. replace "é" with "e".

I thought that, since my Wii has a browser, that I could get to mymedia server as I do with my laptop, and access my music. I can direct the Wii Opera browser there and select artist/album/track and get the player button, but no love on actually getting anything playing. Any idea if this can be made to work?
There seem to be options available online to stream your media to a Wii but I'd like to avoid having to run two applications on the machine serving the media up.

I'm trying to get the Roksbox running on my Roku XDS in a Windows environment. I've got IIS up and running and can browse my MP4 directory. How ever when I try to actually play a file I get the ollowing return message:

An error has occured. Not HTTP 404 or time out .

Am I missing a component ? Is there a more verbose log that can give me a hint as to why it's choking?
Thanks,
-Greg

Wrong thread, but you need to add a MIME Type for your MP4 and/or M4V files.

Thanks but not sure that's the issue. I added the MP4 mime type as video/mpeg and use that doc as a basis of the IIS setup. I moved this to the roksbox thread. Sorry about the mistake.

Edit 4/16 - The culprit turned out to be a bug ; Roks won't handle a 59.9 FPS NTSC encode. Or not a bug and just a Roku limitation? Also, after looking at this OS MyMedia solution... why would someone register and pay for Roksbox? I mean honestly, even with good docs setting up IIS isn't a walk through the park. I had to manually punch holes in the Win7 firewall, set security perms etc etc.

I don't have a Wii, so I don't have anyway to test. It seems like it should work. Check the console window or the my_media_log.txt file to see if there's any messages that might be helpful.

What I get on the Wii browser screen is just like what I get from my laptop, except the PLAY button doesn't seem to depress and change to the PAUSE button. What I got in the activity window on the serving machine is this:

The Opera for Wii supported formats are, as listed on their website:
The Internet Channel supports several Web applications and file types, such as .gif and .jpg images, as well as JavaScript. Please note that it does not support .PDF documents or Java applets.
If this doesn't work, there are other options, and they do work, such as wiisic, which is a simple Java app/server.
