10 years ago @guerrerocarlos ... The Roku XML server is incomplete?
From what I can read of the app on the Roku it expects information needed to grab the media stream to be within server.xml but the XML server that is coded so far only sends back a canned response. The default global_href information never gets changed. I don't see a way for the Roku to know where to point back to pick up the video?
Also does the Roku app support other besides mp4?
Thank you so much for expanding TorrenTV beyond just apple tv to Roku. Having the ability to wireless stream any local video file to my Roku has always been my number one desire, and since reading about the TorrenTV project I've been crossing my fingers for just that.
Running the latest TorrenTV version 0.9.6 on a Macbook Pro, I successfully connected to the Roku app and was able to stream video from a Magnet link torrent; excellent job!
However when dragging and dropping a local video file I've run into issues. I experimented with a couple of formats including .mkv, .mp4, .avi files but none worked. The app on my Mac shows that it is sending, but when I click start playing now in the roku app, it fails to load. I get the black loading screen for a split second, before immediately bouncing back to the Roku TorrenTV app main screen.
Here's hoping this gets addressed in the next beta update. Keep up the amazing work!
