Doesn't work for iOS 9.2
After installing I could select airplay, and (sometimes) select Roku. Never could stream anything from youtube or safari.
also The Roku 3 briefly stopped responding at all to the original remote. This was solved by re-pairing the remote as described here: http://rokuhowto.blogspot.com/2013/03/roku-remote-stopped-working-easy.html
Same problem here. "roku" shows up under "AirPlay". But when selected, nothing happens. And Roku still shows "Waiting For Connections...". This is the only airplay server for roku that shows promise. I know you pretty much abandoned this project since 2014. But would be great to do a fast update, and make it work with ios 9. And you can also possibly setup a Paypal donation page too.
If it really were simple, then I'd have done such an update by now :)
If you look around the web you'll see lots of projects for things that were abandoned as Apple marches on with increased DRM, changes to (undocumented) APIs that break unauthorised projects, and a general lack of willpower to keep up the arms race.
There are a few problems with the project that mean I'm not really interested in continuing with it:
- Brightscript is awful for any serious work (I don't need to repeat my rant here, but this is a decision that the Roku people have imposed, not me, and not Apple)
- Increasingly, apps on iOS use proprietary protocols to do their streaming. This locks them fundamentally to the AppleTV in a way that wasn't really the case before (this includes YouTube, Amazon, and several others. If you look at projects like XBMC you'll see that a couple of years ago youtube stopped working over airplay. I haven't looked lately, but I sincerely doubt they've fixed it since it relies on youtube itself changing how they operate, not XBMC and not iOS).
- Adding this to the the fact that there's DRM on videos sold through iTunes, all you'd really be able to use trimeplay for on iOS9 is streaming your own video and photos.
- I can't really use my Roku anymore for watching TV, so setting up a dev environment again seems like a real pain for almost no gain :(
I'm more than happy to give suggestions to someone else who wants to contribute patches, but I'm afraid it's very unlikely anyone will convince me to do any new work on the project myself.
