I bought one of these Roku doohickeys recently, in spite of the
potential security nightmares i suspect it will eventually cause,
because others in the home wanted to be able to watch the various pay
streaming video services on the main screen -- you know the ones, the
ones with all the DRM nonsense.
Anyway, I was unable to figure out how to stream audio or video from
my linux box without installing some proprietary closed source
nonsense ("Plex Media Server" -- the clients are GPL, but the server
is not, yecch).
There is an SDK that uses some Basic-derived interpreted language
called BrightScript (conveniently abbreviated BS), but i suspect that
coding an NFS client in BS is going to be beyond the limits of my
available time, or ability.
Has anyone run into this problem and found a solution? I was unable to
find one using the googles.
Thanks in advance.
