Roku Developer Program

Hi,

I need help. How I can create TCP socket client connection?

I read https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/roStreamSocket there is not much information in detail and if I am right first sample is a client so I should mix usage of both samples, so I tried it but from some reasons it takes really long time (at least 30 seconds) to receive first message from port, does anyone know where could be a problem?

Details:

• I have Roku 3 with firmware version 8


• I use sample app 


• I created and putted my own ComponentLibrary


• Created a Task component to make network connection working


• I code below putted into my task component:
  

  port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
  connection = {}
  
  sendAddress = CreateObject("roSocketAddress")
  sendAddress.SetAddress("echo.websocket.org:80")' WebSocket test server -> http://www.websocket.org/echo.html '
  
  sock = CreateObject("roStreamSocket")
  sock.setMessagePort(port)
  
  sock.SetSendToAddress(sendAddress)
  
  sock.notifyReadable(true)
  sock.Listen(3)
  
  If not sock.eOK() then
     print "socket error"
     stop
  End If
  
  If sock.Connect()
     Print "Connected Successfully"
  Else
     Print "Connection failed"
  End If
  
  while True
     ssevent = port.WaitMessage(0)
  
     if type(ssevent) = "roSocketEvent"
        print "connection established from port"
     end if
  end while

It looks like you are trying to connect the tcp socket to a websocket server, which is a problem.

found lib which is handling websocket, solved

Thanks for sharing that.

Because this library doesn't support secure sockets (because roStreamSocket doesn't), a fully-implemented Roku WebSocket addition would still be useful.

Currently this library is working really nice on dev branch, but it has one uncomfortable issue which is a performance on slower devices, would be nice if someone help to solve it!
