RokuCast not working #56

Open hufinger opened 2 years ago

Recently, RokuCast has stopped working for me with my Roku stick. It still works on RokuTV, but not the stick. I ensured that I had the correct IP address as well.

Hm it might be a recent roku firmware update that modified the behavior of the built in play on roku endpoint? See https://github.com/pranav-prakash/RokuCast/issues/50#issuecomment-533823544 for more discussion the last time something like this happened. The workaround as per that comment is to use the version of the extension on the master branch which has you sideload a receiver app onto to your Roku.

I no longer have a roku with me so trying to figure out exactly how the behavior of the play on roku endpoint changed would be difficult (if you'd like to give it a try you could sniff traffic from the roku mobile app). The workaround mentioned above is probably the easiest way, and should be robust against any future roku updates.
