Thank you all for the direction. I have read the majority of the links and started to get an idea. The bat file will continue to run after the script ends. The bat file will end when the current channel is exited. Other than starting the bat file, the script will really do nothing else. The script will be called from code on the roku, once the script starts the bat file, the roku executes it's next line which is to start streaming the file created by the bat file. Thanks again
