Lost Your Roku Remote ?

Go to StellarTech Blog and download his roku remote script.

Then go download the network scanner from SoftPerfect Network Scanner

Basically the roku box is a mini-web-server, you use the Network Scanner to scan your network for ip address used your network. I just went through them one at a time until i found the ip of the Roku. You can then use the script which has a simple ui to control your Roku.

Now I can watch movies while I search for my remote control. If I don't find it I will be stuck in my Windows partition. I did find a python script but I haven't tried it yet. Both scripts are just interfaces for telneting to your Roku.

There is also an ipod touch app that does the same thing.

Thanks internet :)
