I am trying to send data, from some server, to my Roku. I am using the exact code given in docs to listen through TCP. When requested from IP of Roku, the server says connection refused (this is all being done through a server set up locally). When send through external IP, no logs come and the server just times out. How to fix this?
Here's the code from docs:
messagePort = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
connections = {}
buffer = CreateObject("roByteArray")
buffer[512] = 0
tcpListen = CreateObject("roStreamSocket")
tcpListen.setMessagePort(messagePort)
addr = CreateObject("roSocketAddress")
addr.setPort(12345)
tcpListen.setAddress(addr)
tcpListen.notifyReadable(true)
tcpListen.listen(4)
if not tcpListen.eOK()
print "Error creating listen socket"
stop
else
print "Listening"
end if
while(true) 'Message Port that fires every 7 seconds to change value of MyField
event = wait(0, messagePort)
if type(event) = "roSocketEvent"
changedID = event.getSocketID()
if changedID = tcpListen.getID() and tcpListen.isReadable()
' New
newConnection = tcpListen.accept()
if newConnection = invalid
print "accept failed"
else
print "accepted new connection " newConnection.getID()
newConnection.notifyReadable(true)
newConnection.setMessagePort(messagePort)
connections[Stri(newConnection.getID())] = newConnection
end if
else
' Activity on an open connection
connection = connections[Stri(changedID)]
closed = False
if connection.isReadable()
received = connection.receive(buffer, 0, 512)
print "received is " received
if received > 0
print "Echo input: '"; buffer.ToAsciiString(); "'"
' If we are unable to send, just drop data for now.
' You could use notifywritable and buffer data, but that is
' omitted for clarity.
connection.send(buffer, 0, received)
else if received = 0 ' client closed
closed = True
end if
end if
if closed or not connection.eOK()
print "closing connection " changedID
connection.close()
connections.delete(Stri(changedID))
end if
end if
end if
end while
print "Main loop exited"
tcpListen.close()
for each id in connections
connections[id].close()
end for
