Works great, but steep-ish learning curve at first
-
WP Smart TV is a great plugin for those who have a little bit of time setting up. I needed it to set up a Roku channel, and it worked. However, it took many months to get it actually working. To be clear, this is not the extension’s fault, it’s mine. I was using Roku Direct Publisher which is completely different from Roku SDK channels. As soon as I converted to using SDK channels, it worked fine. All you have to do is add the feed URL provided by WP Smart TV and insert into your manifest. I use this service called ‘Wistia’ which allows 10 free video streams for free accounts, and it works well with this. As soon as I got the MP4 stream from Wistia, I put it into WP Smart TV and it worked great! I had trouble getting the recipes to work, which is what makes the rows in the app work. Though, after a bit of researching and poking around, I’m sure I’ll figure it out at some point or another. I don’t think that it’s this plugin’s fault, but rather something’s wrong with my Roku channel’s code. I would recommend this plugin 100% for people in specific use cases like mine.
