Motivation
editThere are lots of channels, streaming services, apps, etc. available for Roku on the Roku Channel Store, haven't scraped it yet but indexed Google pages seem to suggest over 20,000 IDs. Seems like it would be a useful identifier. Lewis Hulbert (talk) 20:48, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

- Comment The first two links seem to be broken. @Lewis Hulbert: Do you know why? --Horcrux (talk) 14:43, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- Both are still working for me, though I can reproduce the links being broken when using a VPN outside the UK - it must be some sort of region locking. That's a problem, but I don't think it should completely rule the property out, other properties like Netflix ID (P1874) have the same problem. Lewis Hulbert (talk) 07:47, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Lewis Hulbert: Thank you for the clarification! Possibly there is some lock for Italy. I restored the "ready" status, given no objection I will create the property soon. Anyway, shouldn't such properties be marked in some way or give a warning to the user that tries to remove the value (as I would have done 😅)? --Horcrux (talk) 08:18, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
