Use Cases

Creating issue for tracking user interest in supporting the Roku platform.

End goal would be to have a receiver application with similar feature parity as the existing Electron/webOS/Tizen receiver applications.

Im working on a roku app that can act as a casting target for fcast (repo: https://github.com/MoralCode/FcastReceiverRoku).

Help definitely would be appreceated if someone has time. Its probably going to be a lot of effort to get into the roku store

Just adding my support for this feature, I would use it daily 👍

Same. I'd love a Roku integration

My progress on this has very much stalled if im being honest. Im fairly busy with other things and I think my main hurdle to making things work more reliably is starting to get into "unsupported format" type errors, device discovery, and other relatively boring parts of the project.

Ok well i revisited this and figured out why the playback status updates werent working and im able to watch at least some of my podcasts this way as long as my phone doesnt go to sleep, so that helps

i just tagged a v0.1.0 release (https://github.com/MoralCode/FcastReceiverRoku/releases/tag/v0.1.0). If you're willing to sideload it onto your devices. I consider this usable enough for my own purposes but it definitely needs more features.
