TCP Socket client

Archived

Hi,

I need help. How I can create TCP socket client connection?

I read https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/roStreamSocket there is not much information in detail and if I am right first sample is a client so I should mix usage of both samples, so I tried it but from some reasons it takes really long time (at least 30 seconds) to receive first message from port, does anyone know where could be a problem?

Details:

  • I have Roku 3 with firmware version 8

  • I use sample app

  • I created and putted my own ComponentLibrary

  • Created a Task component to make network connection working

  • I code below putted into my task component:

    port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
connection = {}

sendAddress = CreateObject("roSocketAddress")
sendAddress.SetAddress("echo.websocket.org:80")' WebSocket test server -> http://www.websocket.org/echo.html '

sock = CreateObject("roStreamSocket")
sock.setMessagePort(port)

sock.SetSendToAddress(sendAddress)

sock.notifyReadable(true)
sock.Listen(3)

If not sock.eOK() then
   print "socket error"
   stop
End If

If sock.Connect()
   Print "Connected Successfully"
Else
   Print "Connection failed"
End If

while True
   ssevent = port.WaitMessage(0)

   if type(ssevent) = "roSocketEvent"
      print "connection established from port"
   end if
end while

It looks like you are trying to connect the tcp socket to a websocket server, which is a problem.

found lib which is handling websocket, solved

Thanks for sharing that.

Because this library doesn’t support secure sockets (because roStreamSocket doesn’t), a fully-implemented Roku WebSocket addition would still be useful.

Currently this library is working really nice on dev branch, but it has one uncomfortable issue which is a performance on slower devices, would be nice if someone help to solve it!
