WP Smart TV is a great plugin for those who have a little bit of time setting up. I needed it to set up a Roku channel, and it worked. However, it took many months to get it actually working. To be clear, this is not the extension’s fault, it’s mine. I was using Roku Direct Publisher which is completely different from Roku SDK channels. As soon as I converted to using SDK channels, it worked fine. All you have to do is add the feed URL provided by WP Smart TV and insert into your manifest. I use this service called ‘Wistia’ which allows 10 free video streams for free accounts, and it works well with this. As soon as I got the MP4 stream from Wistia, I put it into WP Smart TV and it worked great! I had trouble getting the recipes to work, which is what makes the rows in the app work. Though, after a bit of researching and poking around, I’m sure I’ll figure it out at some point or another. I don’t think that it’s this plugin’s fault, but rather something’s wrong with my Roku channel’s code. I would recommend this plugin 100% for people in specific use cases like mine.

The plugin does not work. The JSON feed produced is not compatible with Roku. Also no response from support.

Hi Rob, I appreciate all your support the plugin has been really cool. I am trying to see if there is an alternative to using Vimeo Pro to sync videos from site to Roku Direct Publisher. I am using Dream Host VPS basic. Is it possible to just point Roku to my website instead of Vimeo?

Say this worked perfectly the only thing i could not figrue out how to do is how to do an audio station with shoutcast. However I will be purchasing the amazon firestick one soon. This is going to help our small hosting company offer to our client’s channel works perfect with our wowza streaming engine. Keep up the amazing work.

I’ve tried it on 3 different websites, but none of it works. Wasted time.

Once I figured out how to use this plugin, I found it to be extraordinarily effective. Once you get on top of the learning curve, it’s good. For example, it took me a while to learn that Roku’s categories are called “recipes” in this plugin. And you can’t set up series and episodes without setting up recipes. Regardless, it is quite amazing and useful. Anybody wanting to create a Roku channel from the WordPress site should take a hard look at this plugin.

I’ve tried many different plugins on multiple content management systems and had yet to find one that could provide the correct JSON feed for a Roku Direct Publisher channel, so I was forced to manually update my JSON feed file each time.
Once I switched to WordPress and found this plugin, I was so happy! This does it simply as soon as you install it. Installation and configuration was a breeze. Even setting up categories for the channel was simple.
This is a great plugin if you have a Roku channel.

I’ve tried multiple JSON feed managers and WP Smart TV is hands down the best. It does all of the heavy lifting for you. You can literally add content to your Roku channel in less than 60 seconds. Thanks so much for making this available to us.

We use WP Smart TV to create a Roku channel for our non-profit public access television station. We use it to get our programming out to the residents of the town who do not have cable. It is great because you can watch our programming live. Overall, this plugin does whatever you need it to do, and more.
I also want to say that I have run into some issues with the plugin. Rob over at Rovidx has responded to support tickets almost immediately, always fixing the problems. Great support!

WP Smart TV allows me to control ALL of my OTT channels and content from the SAME PLACE as my web presence, which make translation from web to OTT many hours faster than previous methods. I’ve been waiting for this solution for years! I liked it so much I did a tutorial: https://5thingsseries.com/building-a-roku-channel/
