Hi everybody,
I’m trying to create an app to connect to SlingBox and I’m having some issues. I’m able to get the Slingbox IP and port from Sligmedia servers but when I try to connect the box I’m having authentication problems. Off-course that I don’t have a lot of experience with the BrightScript Language.
Anybody want to create an opensource project and try to make it happen? 
There is a SlingboxSDK opensource at http://sourceforge.net/projects/slingboxsdk/
Can we create a C library and use with Roku? :twisted:
Regards,
FearL0rd
The newer Slingbox models encrypt the video stream for any resolutions above 320x240.
if we start doing something for the SlingSolo is already a lot…
Not trying to discourage you, but I wouldn’t get your hopes up too high. As radiocolin mentioned, streams on the new devices are encrypted, and it’s unlikely that the older streams are in a Roku compatible format. HLS and ISM are the only live streaming formats supported, so even if by some miracle they’re encoded with the right codecs, you’d still need to figure out some way to deliver them for playback.

Do you know how to send a “C structure” similar using Bright by sockets?
Can you help?
Example in C
struct Message
{
uint16_t User;
uint16_t Pass;
uint16_t msg;
}
Send(socks, &message)
Don’t know much about the Roku SDK, so not sure if this would help, but wondering if you are able to use their embedded link below?
