Hi All,
I'm looking into using IP to control the Roku platform, and for those who like it, here are some questions:
? 1. Which Module(s) in the files section do you recommend? Or is there another one better?
? 2. I would only use the ULTRA or the ULTRA LT (because of the ethernet connection). Any difference in capability/reliability of IP control for these??
? 3. Other than needing DHCP reservations, any other reliability or feature issues with this control??
TIA!!

I agree with TRoberts, add an OSC to the d pad buttons for navigation? Ryan Cunningham?

I've used that module for years, works with TCL tv's too.? I did need to edit the commands a bit to add TV functions like Input, ch and volume which work well on the TV's.? I use CEC for power though.

I have been using the Crestron Certified driver.? I haven't had any issues with it.? Doesn't have the direct channel call, but I have heard of people using a mix of the 2 approaches

I use a combination of the CCD, which works surprisingly well for all the basic functions, with one of the "Roku 3 Series" modules from the Group's Files section. The latter is only for the direct channel commands and icons.

I also use the combination of the Crestron Certified driver and the "Roku 3 Series" from the files section. I just use the files section driver for app selection. Everything else I do with the Crestron driver.

Little plug... We have this:
It offers direct app launching and automatically pulls in the app images too which you can do some quite nice things with.

Thanks All for the Feedback. A couple more questions:
1. To TRoberts and rpc78? -? I'm not sure that I understand using an OSC for basic control of the NAV commands, could you explain? OR is this just to get a P+H function to automatically keep scrolling with one P+H??
2. To All:? Where are you finding the IP CCD for this?? when I search the CCD drivers webpage, I only com up with IR drivers, no IP, CEC, or other? ?(And why? does there need to be 30+ IR drivers??? ...Sorry, rhetorical question...:) )
TIA

Yes, the osc is to get a press and hold to keep sending the command for better scrolling.? Ryan Cunningham?

I'm using the "Crestron Certified Drivers VideoServer Ethernet 1.0 (cm)".? I originally tried several of the modules in the files section and found the Crestron driver to be much faster and more reliable.? I just use the files section driver for app selection since that wasn't available in the Crestron driver.??

I just saw that there are CCD drivers in the Crestron SMW Library; however the version is v1.2 now. It has (10) custom commands with 'Exists' FB and Name Text.
1. Anyone used this successfully?
2. Has anyone found that the Custom commands work for the Favorites?? (It would be nice not to have to use two modules...)

for the PKG file.? Extract it to get the 2 files to store on the processor.
and the CCD module is in the Simpl database.? Define the IP and where to look for the files with a SIO and pulse the connect.
|
Thanks, John.
Unfortunately I only find IR driver items on that site.? I must be doing something wrong (though I'm searching for IP devices...)
|
I use THIS ONE from the file section here for my Roku Ultra and it works well.? No need for an OSC on the dpad buttons, either.

Hello All,
I have a TCL Roku TV and am using the 3-series module that many have mentioned here. For those using the CCD driver for a TCL Roku, does it give you power feedback?
|
I would have to go check the driver but I¡¯m am almost certain that it does.

+1 to using a combination of the Crestron Certified Driver (commands) and "Roku 3 Series" module (channel recall) from the Files section.?
Like others, I am using an oscillator on the direction commands.? Without it, I occasionally get a direction acting like it was pressed and held.

Quick question about this - I just tried to put the Group's Files "Roku 3 Series" and noticed that the icon outputs are string/serial outputs. Are those strings supposed to be file locations of icons on the processor?

the icons come from the roku player
