also i tried addingthe "http://" in front and got this error

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to http://192.168.10.106:8080 (Unable to find the socket transport "http" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?) in /XXXXX/remote/telnet.class.php on line 55

i am looking in my PHP.ini and see nothing about these in there

It's not HTTP, it's raw text, thus telnet. If you can connect using telnet to that IP address (and that IP address is where your roku is), this should work. If you can't, it definitely won't work.

If you don't have telnet built into your OS (newer windows installs don't, everything else does), go download PuTTY SSH and use it's telnet support. I recommend the standalone executable version of PuTTY. This is also how you access the error console, so I assume you already have this working in some respect. If not, I feel very, very sorry for you. Programming without error messages is not fun.

It's actually there, you just have to tell it to install it (Control Panel->Programs and Features->Turn Windows Features On or Off->Telnet Client). Doesn't even require a reboot...

Ooh, thanks! Although I'm not sure what's quicker, navigating windows menus, or downloading putty and using it. It's a close call (seriously, it's google -> putty download page -> downloading (450k) -> click to run). But for those times where an internet connection is not assured, that's helpful.

Just a thought, but you know you should be running this locally, right? An external website won't have access to your local Roku unless you map the port(s) on the router to the Roku. Also, if you are doing that for some reason, then you would need to change the address from a local one ( 192... ) to your external IP ( http://www.whatismyip.com/ ) I have an apache+php server running on an old desktop. XAMPP for Windows is one distribution I've used that takes care of setting up all that with one installer.

perfect!! that worked!

[pirate96]

Top buttons? The top of my screen is a text box with a submit button to the right. That was working perfectly in Amazon search. That was the only button I saw.

[dynamitemedia]

here is a example i put together for the iphone/ipad/ipod

the keyboard or search is giving me issues and is the refreshing the screen each time on the iphone...

can anyone tell me how they are getting the keyboard working? for example does it add letter by letter to the area on the screen or not till you hit submit?

i will keep working on the keyboard section as well as the refresh issue..

so here ya go

@dynamitemedia
That script should be hosted on a local server, and can you put that example on pastebin, or somewhere similar, its not working on your server

@pirate96
I coded this for the netflix onscreen keyboard, the top row has clear, delete, and space, I've never used the amazon channel though
