Follow these steps to install:
Code: Select all
- Unzip contents of zip file into a folder named RokuWeb in the root of one of
the shares accessible to the Roku
- Telnet into the Roku and issue the following command to enable the fnord web
server on port 81 (NOTE: This should only be done once!):
echo "::respawn:/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -DRHPl 0 -u 0 -g 0 0 81 /usr/local/fnord/fnordy" >> /etc/inittab
- Issue the following commands to create the web root (replace servername and
sharename as appropriate):
mkdir /home/html
ln -s /mnt/smb/<servername>/<sharename>/RokuWeb /home/html/RokuWeb
- Reboot the Roku
- Once the Roku has finished rebooting, open a web browser and browse to:
http://<your_roku_ip>:81/home/RokuWeb/index.html
NOTE: Internet Explorer cannot correctly display the screenshot bitmap, so
you may prefer to use a browser like Firefox.
The screengrab utility used to generate the screenshot takes a few seconds to run, so it's a bit sluggish when "Auto-Refresh Screen" is selected. The screenshot can be updated manually by clicking on the screenshot itself. Also note that the screenshot will only display the graphics layer of the display. Video is not rendered.
