🚀 A Big MediaBlaster + Roku Launch Kit Update Is Coming
We’ve been working on a major update to both MediaBlaster and the Roku Launch Kit, and I wanted to give everyone a quick preview of what’s coming. Here’s what we’re currently working on: ✅ A cleaner, easier-to-understand layout for the MediaBlaster WordPress plugin ✅ Faster load times and better responsiveness throughout the Roku app ✅ A new Live TV/EPG system, allowing you to build scheduled channels similar to Pluto TV ✅ The ability to add live streams alongside your existing movies, series and other content This is one of our biggest updates yet. It should make MediaBlaster easier to use behind the scenes while giving viewers a much faster and more polished experience. We’re aiming to release the update around August 12th or 13th. I’ll share more screenshots and details as we get closer. In the meantime, what part of this update are you most interested in?

How We Build AI Podcasts People Actually Listen To
I’ve worked with dozens of podcasters over the years, helping them grow their audiences, increase revenue and improve their production. Lately, I’ve been applying that experience to AI podcasts. In this video, I walk through the system we use to turn an idea into a polished podcast episode using Google Sheets, Hermes, n8n, AI voice tools and FFmpeg. You’ll see how we: • Track ideas and production inside Google Sheets • Use Hermes to research, write and review each script • Prepare scripts specifically for AI narration • Generate and process the voice with n8n • Add music and professional audio production • Create the title, description and thumbnail • Upload the finished episode to Spreaker for final approval • Handle revisions when something doesn’t sound right The system automates most of the repetitive production work, but we still have a human listen to every finished episode before it’s published. That approval step is important. The goal isn’t to flood the internet with generic AI content—it’s to produce stories people genuinely want to hear. I’m also working on a new Skool course called Building an Automated Premium AI Podcast System. It will include the Hermes skills, n8n workflow templates, FFmpeg scripts and step-by-step setup instructions we use. Watch the video and let me know: what part of this system would you most like to see covered inside the course?

Vimeo Talk and ?
Lets talk vimeo. I am no stranger to being part of the vimeo tribe and them having there own ott service back in the days of ROKU Direct publisher. I mean every video sevice out there even wistia was trying to get a piece of the pie, even amazon S3 stepped into the picture and we all tried that! But vimeo took a spot light in the Roku Developer forums with rising concerns of Bandwidth issues and charges. This started a little tug of war between Roku and Vimeo and Vimeo decided to back away from ott and to cator to mobile and website video, They stopped supporting ott. This caused a panic and sent developer scambling for new video hosting or work arounds to keep using vimeo. Today if you visit the Roku Developer Forums there is still some small talk about vimeo! I like this Plugin and Laurnch kit and want to move forward testing with it. I have not got to the point to try adding any video outside of vimeo and think it should have this feature to add other platforms. If not it should be added! I think it would add value to the plugin which BTW I don't think it should be free! But here is a small list from the course on adding video: MediaBlaster works seamlessly with Vimeo (preferred), AWS, BunnyCDN, and DaCast, it does not support YouTube videos. This is a restriction on YouTube's side regarding how they allow their media to be served, and there is no workaround! Yep I remember Roku going after many direct publishers for using and reusing youtube video to create channels with the same content under different names. This caused legal issues so stay away from youtube! I guess We will have to see if bandwidth issues arise from vimeo in our future! Whats your thoughts on vimeo?

MediaBlaster Roku Launch Kit License ?
So if you are like me you took the plugins and added to a wordpress site to test it! However if your site is called test chanel for example but you uploaded the plugin to Johnnys service - the license and channel name on the license pull that information on the license and there is no wany to edit that information except to revoke the license and start a new wordpress under the channel name! But I believe if we build the channel on that first site we can name the channel and build the channel out and the behind the scene channel license doesnt matter! I am sure Robert will elaborate on this?
