Are telnet functions going to be added from the buttons from the new remote?

It looks like they’re already there in 2.7. The following work:
press back
press replay
press info
“press info” when a channel is selected is pretty sweet!

Okay, thanks
Seems “press back” was already there and is associated with the “rewind” button on the remote. Not sure what the new “Back” button would be.
EDIT: Bah! Scratch “press replay” too. It looks like the telnet interface just looks at the first letter of the key you enter, so “press right”, “press replay”, and “press r” all send a “right” keypress.
For now, two of the new buttons have single letter names:
press info
press y
press k
These are “info”, “replay” and “back” respectively.

From a coding perspective: info = 10, replay = 7, and back doesn’t send a key press event, but does produce some very unfortunate behavior. I’ll post about that in a separate thread.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that

Do these commands work with the older rokus too? And is that asterisk looking button on the remote the info button?

I’m using them on an HD-XR, so they definitely work on the older Rokus.

I think the back button is just for rewinding while watching a video, isnt it?

For what it’s worth, all of the buttons work with just a single letter (generally the first letter, except for Back and Replay), but I suppose that may not be future proof?

Yeah, I saw a suggestion somewhere that you should use the full name if they ever change the interface

I have seen the Back button on rare occasions produce an isRemoteKeyPressed() event with index of 0, but it generally produces the isScreenClosed() event. I think it would have been MUCH better if the Back button was treated like any other button.

I have a Roku HD and the extra buttons y,k,info don’t work…any ideas or is it not implemented in HD ?
Are you sure your player has updated to v2.7 of the firmware?

Yes.
Strange. I have an original N1000 box and they work on it.

Please see the new External Control Guide in the new v2.7 SDK for our new way to control your Roku over the network. Please consider the telnet methods as deprecated.

About how much longer will the telnet commands stay availble?
They should still be available for at least a couple more firmware releases… Any new development should be using the External Control API though.
