How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   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.

   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?

   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.
