Function livechannel(id as string, title as string)
     screenFacade = CreateObject("roPosterScreen")
     screenFacade.show()
     if id  = "1" 
       UA_trackPageview("/Lazy_Videos_Part_1")
       liveurl = "http://www.lazygeekclub.com/lazyvideosroku.php?id=xmlfiles@lazyvideos&deviceid=XXXXX"
     else if id = "2"

         msg = wait(0, port)
         If msg.isScreenClosed() Then
             return -1
         Else If msg.isListItemSelected()
             lang = this.topics[msg.GetIndex()]
             livesingle(this.topics[msg.GetIndex()],this.topics,msg.GetIndex())

roDeviceInfo.GetDeviceUniqueId returns the serial number.

However you should read https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc … gistration and https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc … nd+Linking. Using the device serial number for authorization is strongly discouraged. Among other issues, it makes it impossible to de-authorize device, it makes the authorization carry along with the device if it is sold to another person, and it means factory reset doesn’t restore the device to a pristine condition if they later reinstall your channel.
