Roku Developer Program

For those of you who maintain remote apps or are doing other cool things with ECP. The new Nowhere Cast channel has the ability to play podcasts via ECP launch parameters.

In addition to the curated library of content available within the channel, you can send the URL of any podcast feed to the channel using ECP and it will attempt to display the contents of that feed.

As with any ECP command, it's important that your parameters be properly URL encoded, or things will not work.

Example:

curl -d "" "http://my.roku.ip:8060/launch/22358?feed=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.npr.org%2Frss%2Fpodcast.php%3Fid%3D1025"

Implemented in the dev channel of remoku: http://remoku.tv/dev (soon to come to the stable channel at http://remoku.tv/)
Look for it in the Goodies screen, beneath the Macros and Shoutcast sections. Thanks for adding this!

Question: Would it be possible to favorite an ECP-launched podcast?

Not with the current system. Possibly in a future version.

That's ok, I can add a favorite podcasts list easily enough in Remoku. Please still consider adding them in a future version. I use hardware remotes as or more frequently than Remoku, and it'd be convenient to have them on-box. Thanks again for putting the effort in to support us network remote guys!

N'Man,

Would it be possible to add Dana Gould's podcast to Nowhere Cast?
