A simple curl example:

curl -v -d '' "http://your-ip:8060/keypress/home"

Output

Same problem here.  any post commands respond with 401 unauthorized.  Same experience where it worked just find until March 27th.

I rely on this functionality and the ability to control via API is essential to me and one of the reasons why i purchased this product.

Is it possible the certificate expired on the server on the Roku?

[Rok4MomProject]

I have the same problem but it is only on one of my rokus, a roku tv that I have set up for my mom with dementia. All of the launch+deep_links work but 401 on the normal keypress commands.

curl -d '' --write-out "%{http_code}\n" -X POST http://n.n.n.n:8060/launch/tvinput.dtv?ch=632
200

curl -d '' --write-out "%{http_code}\n" -X POST http://n.n.n.n:8060/keypress/VolumeUp
401

Model 65R6ASR

Software Version 12.5.0 Build 5101

Just FYI, we have had reports of our customers having a similar issue with their Roku players using our driver that issues ECP commands.

Our tech support has found that issuing a factory reset of the player seems to fix the issue.

Something you all could try.

[milehighmatt]

12 different sites that we reset yesterday, yes on Easter, have all now succumbed to this issue. Waste your time if you must, but the reset devices only work ~24 hours from our experience. Thats a lot of typing in passwords for only a day of proper operation. 

[ryan_erickson]

Forgot to mention we also recommend disabling automatic updates after factory reset.  Don't know if that is why it's reoccurring...

[milehighmatt]

Turning off auto-updates isn't something supported by the existing menu structure on a Roku Ultra. I can get into the secret menus obviously but dont see it in there either. If someone has a approved way to accomplish this and it fixes the issue I am all ears to prevent mass customer removal of Rokus.

[madtown09]

Wonder if this is related to an issue I'm facing with 3rd party hub remote

https://community.roku.com/t5/Remotes/Sofabaton-X1-with-Stick-and-Poor-Support-from-Roku/m-p/958861#...

Timelines seem to match, but I also got no support there.

[JohnnyIV]

They likely use the API that stopped working. Can you launch Disney+, Hulu or other channels, but not navigate?
