I'm using the following caps:

{
  "platformName": "Roku",
  "appium:automationName": "roku",
  "appium:app": "/Users/sebastian.mesa/Binaries/Redacted.zip",
  "appium:rokuHost": "192.168.2.184",
  "appium:rokuEcpPort": 8060,
  "appium:rokuWebPort": 80,
  "appium:rokuUser": "rokudev",
  "appium:rokuPass": "rokupass",
  "appium:rokuHeaderHost": "192.168.2.184"
}

And the Roku device is already in Dev Mode.

I don't know if maybe I'm using the wrong caps, or if is a bug itself.

Appreciate any help!! 😄
Thanks! 🚀

well please try without appium inspector first of all, since the inspector doesn't support the roku driver specifically. but yeah it looks like probably a network connection issue, like maybe the appium server is on a different subnet than the roku.

@semeguze I am facing the same issue. Did you resolve that?
