Roku YouTube

A YouTube app for the Roku DVP that supports automatic video quality switching, user favorites, searches and more based on the Picasa Web Albums Roku app by Chris Hoffman.

The channel performs OAuth authentication to access your YouTube account via an address I've set up on my domain running Chris Hoffman's excellent Google Apps Engine RokuLink project, great for serving your own OAuth requests if my server goes down.

Installation

Enable development mode on your Roku Streaming Player with the following remote control sequence:

Home 3x, Up 2x, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right

When devleopment mode is enabled on your Roku, you can install dev packages from the Application Installer which runs on your device at your device's IP address. Open up a standard web browser and visit the following URL:

http://<rokuPlayer-ip-address> (for example, http://192.168.1.6)

Download the source as a zip and upload it to your Roku device.

Due to limitations in the sandboxing of development Roku channels, you can only have one development channel installed at a time.

Advanced

Debugging

Your Roku's debug console can be accessed by telnet at port 8085:

telnet <rokuPlayer-ip-address> 8085

Building from source

The Roku Developer SDK includes a handy Make script for automatically zipping and installing the channel onto your device should you make any changes. Just add the project to your SDK's examples/source folder and run the make install command from that directory via your terminal.

Contributing

Want to contribute? Great! Go ahead and download the source, play around with it, fork it if you like, whatever. I've only added basic functionality, so if you think you can help out I'd love to have your contribution!
