Roku Developer Program

I too had almost the same experience, i tried 8888, 8080, 80

and nothing just retrieving, and there wasn't any readme or anything to give any details or setup. Check the docs as well, in fact this should have its own pdf file i would think.

Bump. Any official confirmation this is a Roku-side issue, or suggestions to try if it isn't?

I'm trying to run the webserver example. I'm on 3.0 build 2186. It installs correctly, and starts to the screen with "Web Server: Connections" at the top and "Retrieving..." centered. After that I try to browse to the roku ip and port (8888) specified in the code, and I can not connect. Here's the debugger output:

Could this be something on my end, or are some of the new bits exposed in the sdk still being enabled on the box in upcoming beta builds? I noticed the config.xml points to what appears to be an external drive, while the default brs code points to a pkg:/ file, index.html, that doesn't exist. I've tried changing a few things related to that(plugging in a drive with html files, adding index.html to the pkg), and still get the same message.

PM'd you in regards to the issue with live HLS streams, can you let me know if you didnt receive?

is this code working
Know the Remote Control Codes for special screens:
o Dump Core: Home 5x, Up, Rewind 2x
it says so in the sdk 3 .SOme how i cant make it work?

[RokuKevin]

learner,

That remote sequence sends a core file to Roku's servers of the firmware. Those cores aren't available to SDK developers....

If you want to see a BrightScript stack in your currently running channel, all you have to do is telnet to port 8085 and hit Ctrl-c to break into the debugger.

Hi, I'm new to Roku development, and I have a couple of basic questions about the move to 3.0:

1. If I build my channel app with sdk3.0, does that mean a customer has to upgrade to firmware 3.0 to use my app?

2. Will all Roku boxes auto upgrade to firmware 3.0 once it is released, or does the customer have to choose to upgrade?

3. If upgrading to firmware 3.0 is optional for a customer, what percentage of customers usually upgrade to the newer firmware?

[RokuKevin]

1. If you use any 3.0 only api's you should set the firmware dependency to v3.0 so that only v3.0 boxes see your app.
2. When we launch v3.0, we will upgrade user's boxes automatically.
3. It is not optional. Rollouts of new firmware generally take about a week to cover all units.

Aside from the other issues (which still exist) that I have PM'd to you.

i have noticed the latest 2191 build takes longer to start streams. As you recall the streams I test with are LIVE ENCODED, so maybe its an effect of continuous polling for the M3U8 or something, really not sure, just wanted to make it a point, as for user experiences, slow starting up a video is never good when it can be avoided.

We’re making the 3.0 Beta firmware available to all developers who request it. If your box isn’t already part of the developer beta group, send a private developer forum message to RokuKevin. Include the serial number of the Roku units you would like to run the 3.0 beta on.

It is very important that all developers regression test their applications on version 3.0 and note any incompatibilities. You may need to publish an update to your application to make it compatible with v3.0.

The SDK can be downloaded here:
http://rokudev.roku.com/roku_sdk_v30_20110420.zip

--Kevin

the sample code for an android remote under the directory: \roku_sdk_v30_20110420\examples\source\ecp_client\android_remote\Roku seems to be missing a Retriever class. I keep getting following error:

Description Resource Path Location Type
Receiver cannot be resolved to a type Remote.java /Remote/src/com/roku/dvp line 70 Java Problem

Is there an updated file I can download?

I thought that you needed a Andriod phone for this to work as it's Java!
