Trying to use emulator/simulator with BitFocus Companion? Downloaded application, but when install and run it, seems empty? Do I need to load something into the simulator to get it to respond to say port 8060 like a typical Roku TV/device would?

[Jibun-no-Kage]

I opened developer tools, and can see the emulator is listening on port 8060... but if I second a command from BitFocus Companion, say ECP 'power on' sequence, the simulator does not respond at all? I am running the Windows version of the simulator in Windows 11 Pro.

Start up with Developer Tools enabled...

Issue ECP command, i.e. power up, or down, or volume up or down... nothing. I have tried the actual IP address of the Windows 11 device, the localhost IP (i.e. 127.0.0.1), nothing. I explicitly enabled network communication on the Windows 11 system to be both public and private to port 8060... per the simulator installation process/sequence.

Any suggestions?

Sending ECP commands directly via the 8060 port via a Linux based system...

# telnet 192.168.1.34 8060
Trying 192.168.1.34...
Connected to 192.168.1.34.
Escape character is '^]'.

# curl -d '' "http://192.168.1.34:8060/keyup/left"
#

Appears the simulator is not responding to any ECP commands I am sending. Al though telnet believes the target system is listening on port 8060. So I am trying to use the simulator in some way it is not designed to do? Thought is emulators or simulators a Roku device, no? So basic ECP commands should work?

@Jibun-no-Kage you need to have an app running to control it via ECP. Load a Roku app and you can control it.
try to load https://lvcabral.com/brs/apps/pong-roku.zip using the Open from URL option, and play the game using your device.
