Roku Direct Publisher

Hello, all.

The length of time between who often Roku checks our feed for any updates is pretty significant.  Is there a way to force/ping Roku to say, "Hey Roku, there's new content available. . .come get it!"?

Thanks,

This should work. If you change the name of the feed file each time you update the file, Roku will be forced to read it since the new name is not cached. Some developers use a naming scheme by adding some suffix onto the name of the file thus making the file "new".

Interesting. How would I do this if the feed file name and path are fixed by the application I use?

Without knowing the application and how you post your feed file, I could only speculate.
