AFter following all instructions to the letter it didn't work on my MAC. After pressing [Start] button 🎧 symbol apeeared on TV but no sound came of my speakers. In order to make it work, i was forced to run FFPLAY on separate terminal manually, in a folder with the file roku.sdp containing following text.

o=- 0 0 IN IP4 127.0.0.1
s=-
c=IN IP4 127.0.0.1
