Whatever it is or whatever you want to call Roku RF (wifi, wireless, bluetooth, etc.), the point is it doesn't shoot IR. So we have no way to get these new codes other than brute force search, which I have already done many times.

We are no talking about the roku boxes themselves and what they accept at the same time, its the remote controls and how they emit one kind of signal at a time. And older boxes like the xs and xd used Bluetooth, the roku 3 now uses wifi-direct.

Well, I've gathered HEX codes for Roku's Netflix, VUDU, Amazon, Pandora, Crackle and MGO channels, and they are all now in my Harmony One remote, which works exclusively via IR.

How were all of those gathered? By brute force search too?

Roku had different IR remotes with those commands, and they were learned and changed into pronto hex. Give roku time to release new models, top of the line are always bundled with RF remotes, lower models come with IR remotes. And don't expect IR commands to work right away on all older models of roku, it took two months for the last discrete commands to work after finally receiving an update by Roku. Read this thread, its a timeline of what occurred.

The just released 2015 Roku 2 4210R comes with an IR remote, on it is discrete channel keys for Netflix, Amazon, Rdio and Slingtv.

Could you possibly post the pronto hex for those new commands?

Thanks Dave, they all work except Slingtv. As for Hulu+, it hasn't shown up on IR remote yet, just the WIFI direct roku 3 remote.

I just fixed the SlingTV code. Give it another try. On my Roku 3, Sling takes about 10 seconds to start loading, so that threw me off.

And with the new 2016 Streaming Stick, the Rdio button has been replaced with one for Vudu:

Thanks for the info. Keep in mind that the Vudu code has not changed and that no JP1 remote can control the Stick.

I have also seen a photo of the new stick's remote with Google play instead of vudu key, so vudu ones are sold through walmart, ones sold elsewhere have the google play key. But we still haven't seen IR remote with Hulu.

Still only available on Wi-Fi direct remotes, no IR remotes have that key. There are Roku tv IR remotes with a new key I would like to find, HBO Now.
