## Media Player
When the Home Assistant Roku integration is enabled and has found a Roku device, in the Home Assistant GUI the Roku media player will show a listing of the installed channels, or apps, under “source”. Select one and it will attempt to launch the channel on your Roku device. This action can also be automated, but it requires you to acquire an extra piece of information; the ```appID``` for the channel specific to your Roku.

For now though, you can easily get the information yourself. All you need to do is a simple GET API call on the same network as your device.
