Roku devices not being discovered after 0.86

I also had difficulty getting my Roku showing up after a recent update. I was only able to get it working again by allowing autodiscovery for that component.

I commented-out my roku from the configuration.yaml

media_player:
#  - platform: roku
#    name: Roku Streaming Stick
#    host: 192.168.86.8

And then modified the discovery settings so that I was not ignoring the roku component.

discovery:
  ignore:
   #- samsungtv
   - yamaha
   - philips_hue
   - harmony
   #- roku
   - igd

There was actually a breaking-change explain note for this. Not sure if there’s a way to get the manual registration method back:
“Previous “manual” registration of roku devices will need to be updated or removed (discovery should discover all rokus on your network). (@soberstadt - #17548) (roku docs 1) (media_player.roku docs 2) (remote.roku docs 1) (breaking change) (new-platform)”
