WP Smart TV to a Desktop Software that creates an SDK Channel for Roku
I was a big user of The Original WP Smart TV. I also used a few other Roku channel membership sites that allowed us to build Roku Direct Publisher sites. When Roku made the announcement to do away with Roku Direct publisher sites all of a sudden everyone was in panic. I myself having been able to take an SDK package and still use WP Smart TV to host the videos from vimeo at that time and use a redirect to make WP Smart TV on wordpress work as the host for the json feed. At that time that was a good easy fast option. I then found a good host for the videos and live streaming and json feed creation so I left WP Smart TV behind. That was a good option to have but as Roku made serious updates to the system and the SDK packages had to be updated with good brighscript code.
After doing serious research I found desktop software that created an sdk channel, Lucky the developer kept up with updates and kept updating with all of Roku's updates. The option was good to be able to use the software but it does come with some work. For example 1 The software creates an SDK Package. 2 You have to encrypt the sdk package with anoth software. 3 You have to test the channel with a Roku device in your home or office. 4 You have to upload the enqryped package to The Roku developer account 5 You then have to go through the Roku process in the developer account to get approved to go live. Either way whatever package we use and upload as an SDK enqrypted package you have to go through the Roku developer account process to get the channel done.
I created a Roku channel developer course for my subscribers and members of my Roku developers showing the process of using the desktop software and the video hosting service. I am looking forward to see what this new Media Blaster can do for us! I am always seeking to help other developers build their Roku channels.
I am seeking an easy option for amazon and Apple TV, Fingers crossed!
