For now, two of the new buttons have single letter names:

For what it's worth, all of the buttons work with just a single letter (generally the first letter, except for Back and Replay), but I suppose that may not be future proof?

Do these commands work with the older rokus too? And is that asterisk looking button on the remote the info button?

I'm using them on an HD-XR, so they definitely work on the older Rokus.

Okay, Thanks

Yeah, I saw a suggestion somewhere that you should use the full name if they ever change the interface

From a coding perspective: info = 10, replay = 7, and back doesn't send a key press event, but does produce some very unfortunate behavior. I'll post about that in a separate thread.

I have seen the Back button on rare occasions produce an isRemoteKeyPressed() event with index of 0, but it generally produces the isScreenClosed() event. I think it would have been MUCH better if the Back button was treated like any other button.

Re: New Telnet Functions

Are you sure your player has updated to v2.7 of the firmware?

Re: New Telnet Functions

Strange. I have an original N1000 box and they work on it.

Re: New Telnet Functions

Please see the new External Control Guide in the new v2.7 SDK for our new way to control your Roku over the network. Please consider the telnet methods as deprecated.

About how much longer will the telnet commands stay availble?

Re: New Telnet Functions

They should still be available for at least a couple more firmware releases... Any new development should be using the External Control API though.
