Roku firmware update requires configuration change

In December 2024, Roku pushed out new firmware that blocks external control commands by default. In order for the binding to control a Roku with the new firmware, the following setting: Settings-> System-> Advanced system settings-> Control by mobile apps must be configured as Enabled or Permissive. Once this setting is corrected, the binding will work correctly again.

A PR to detect when the Roku is configured incorrectly and update documentation was opened: [roku] Check for ECP Limited Mode by mlobstein · Pull Request #17925 · openhab/openhab-addons · GitHub
