If you leave the resolution to Auto, it will switch back and forth
between 1080p and 4K. My Roku4 supports 30Hz and 60Hz but not 24Hz
-- I believe the same is true for the newer Roku Ultra.

¡°Yes you can select what

is too slow to support the resolution, the Roku will
automatically down grade to a lower resolution so you don't
lose your stream and will automatically increase the
resolution when the Internet speeds up.¡±

That?s not what I meant.
I want the device to play e.g. 60Hz content
with 60Hz and 24Hz (23.9xx) content with 24Hz and so on.
You can configure the ATV to work like that, I
think it?s called ¡°match framerate¡± in the English GUI.

Dolby Vision isn?t a real issue since we?re
integrating 90% projectors that don?t support DV anyway.

I recommend getting the Roku Ultra as it has an Ethernet jack on it.
I have an older Roku 4K player and it has a "find my remote" button on the top of it which is very handy.? It also has a microphone button on the remote which works very well.

I don't believe I've ever had an issue logging in.

Hi,
?
really interesting discussion since i?m
currently looking into the topic what streaming player to
recommend to our residential customers.
We?re mainly into high end cinemas, so
excellent picture and sound quality is a top priority (well,
at least what you can achieve using Internet streaming¡).
?
Our customers to 90% use Netflix and Amazon
Prime Video.
The Roku sounds really interesting.
?
A few questions from my side:
¡¤????????
Is it possible for the Netflix and Prime app to
switch resolution / frame rate according to the source
material? The ATV can at least do this with the frame rate.
¡¤????????
Is it possible to stream 4K/HDR with the Roku
with Netflix and Prime?
¡¤????????
Is it possible to stream Atmos sound using
Netflix and Prime?
?
I?d love to have a good alternative to the ATV
and the FTV J

Hi everyone.?

? Roku is the bomb. There or a few modules for it in the file section here, as well as certified drivers from Crestron. Roku allows the launching of individual apps and it is easy to edit the module to put in a specific app later. IP control is fantastic and never breaks. I¡¯ve had Roku since 2008 and it has always been perfect for me. The one distinct advantage of Apple TV is the ability to airplay.?

Re: Need IR Hex codes or Crestron IR file for Xfinity X1 box
Don't request Crestron provided files here.
In SIMPL, I see the referenced IR drivers under:

If you don't see them, you may need to upgrade to a newer Crestron Database.

Download that, follow the instructions, right click and compile the night away.
For more detailed info, it creates a small batch file on your hard
drive to compile, then pause so you can see the output. Sadly the only
way I could make it pause. Then it updates the file association for
CrestronSplus files and adds more commands pointing at this script
file. Bonus, I even fixed the icon and "Open" command to use the
SIMPL+ editor instead of SIMPL Windows (like it has done FOR AT LEAST
THE LAST 11 YEARS HOLY CRAP CRESTRON CAN YOU NOT FIX THAT SHIT?!).
There are a couple other registry files that remove the context items
if you don't want them anymore, and one that fixes if you changed the
association thing from the properties menu like I did because you were
tired of USP files opening with SIMPL Windows. If you did that, you'll
have to import that registry file.

Re: Crestron Home OS3 setup
Hi Micah,
I found they are using the resful APIs for control and not the legacy TCP based control .? ?As soon as I realized that I switched back to port 80 and everything started working.? ?In further review of the SONY documentation they mentioned sending the pre-shared key in the HTTP header which made me think I bet the Crestron default of 80 was right.??
Thank you so much for your help.
