Wow nice find — I'll update the code and readme when I get a chance.
Cheers!
Amazing! @DrewML I love what you just suggested. Thank you very much. :clap::clap::clap:
@pranav-prakash Btw, any plan to update extension to support HLS Streaming (M3U8)? It will be great! :raised_hands: :raised_hands:
@Amandysha Yes I just added it. Do you have any sample videos to test with?
@pranav-prakash I tried send mp4 and m3u8 media from this demo link: http://www.gravlab.com/2013/10/26/example-sample-http-live-streaming-m3u8-embedded-player/ . Mp4 works fine but m3u8 dont work.
Any update on this?

Try that branch out. Since we removed the need for companion app, the extension should be all you need.
If it works well, I can probably just make that the main branch. You do lose the ability to see cast history though, but I guess that's an acceptable tradeoff.
Hey!
To start with, thank you for the work on this extension! I was very happy to find it.
I wanted to point out that you could eliminate the necessity to maintain your own Roku channel for this. The Roku team actually includes a channel built in ("Play On Roku") that developers can use to play video content, without having to create a separate channel. It can be accessed on Roku 2+ devices.
An example post to the device would be:
Parameters: u - URI of the video videoName - Name to display on the Roku device for the video k - URI to an image to use as a loading screen
It looks like all you might have to do is make a modification here
This is the method that the Connect SDK uses to play videos on Roku.
