I originally made this code to work for the plex client on my wife's laptop. I wondered what would happen if I replaced the ip address of her laptop to the ip address of my roku box ... tada..it worked on my roku also. PLex will have to be installed on your roku box and the plex server on your pc. I tried this on the original roku and also on the roku 2, both work.



You will need to replace 192.168.2.9 with your rokus ip address.

If you don't have the plex server on your pc and need another way to control your roku (yes, I know they come with a remote my daughter lost mine.) You can download Curl from here -
http://curl.haxx.se/download.html
Put curl.exe in the same directory as your DBpro project, Use the execute file command to run curl, then pass these arguments to it -



Replace "Home" with any of these
