Re: Streaming Audio Only

If you have a website or web server, you would usually use an FTP client to upload them to your server. Roku does not host any media files.

Re: Streaming Audio Only

Hi Joel and thanks for your reply. I do have a website (imusicradio.biz) and an FTP program that I use. However, where am I sending these files on the Roku site? I created the page that viewers will see with my logo, but the music has to accompany that graphic so when selected it will play.

Please advise.

Re: Streaming Audio Only

Roku doesn't provide support for your web services(creating/maintaining a web site, audio streaming, or other parts of the process that don't directly involve the Roku box). If you're having trouble setting up your site, try contact the hosting service you are using to see if they can help you. Otherwise, you must create a channel application for Roku if you want your listeners to be able to access your content through Roku. Apply for the Roku Developer Program (it's free) and you can download the Software Development Kit and access the developer documentation. You can start from one of the SDK example projects, the audioapp example is probably a good one to look into.

Re: Streaming Audio Only

Hi Gonzotek and thanks for contacting me. I'm NOT having a problem at all with my website. It is running very well and we also have video on it.

I question was about where do I start after creating the Roku page. I see the link you sent me to apply for the Roku Developer Program. I will also again look at the SDK example projects.

Thanks again.
