[QUOTE="ghugheyjr, post: 859046, member: 122520"] Roku is a streaming player that connects to the TV and allows you to watch Internet videos and media stored on your computer hard drive. It facilitates this through the creation of open source "channels" from the media providers. The Roku is much like Boxee Box, only better, becuase the code is, I am told, easier to program, and it does not crash as much. I have a Roku attached to every TV in my home. The link for the Roku site is [url]http://www.roku.com/[/url]. More importantly, the Channel Developer section provides all of the SDK necessary for channel developement. I would venture to guess that the Roku box works off of some sort of DLNA function when channels such as PlayOn and Plex are activated. The downside is none of the current Roku channels facilitiate the watching of OTA TV like MP1and MP2. I have engaged with both the PlayOn and Plex companies and both have told me they see no reason to even attempt to have developement done that would allow thier channels to use OTA. That is why I have come here. My perfect world scenario would be for MP2 to have a Roku channel that would mirror the MP2 interface I see on my PC terminal with all of its associated funcionality. I know this will be some time in the future, but MP2 is the only Media Center which plays media and OTA to a DLNA device. If a Roku Channel could be made for MP2, this would open MP up for amazing population reach. As I am not a programmer, even in the remotest sense, I do not understand all of this programming language stuff I read here or on the Roku site. I am sure it is quite easy and I am making it more difficult than necessay. It is my hope that someone with some experience could develop this Roku channel for MP2 ( I will gladly pay for it). To help answer your question and facilitate in the possible creation of a Roku channel for MP2, I have uploaded the Roku SDK here for your veiwing pleasure. If you wish to obtain it from the Developer Section of the Roku site, you would need to create a free developer account on the Roku site. I already have an account because it was required to load the PlayOn channel I use to stream my media to all of my mobile devices when I am away from home. In a perfect world, we could do the same with MP2. Thanks so much for your timely feedback on this issue. MP is truly the best. [/QUOTE]
