Auto player launch
Only in connected mode
, you can set your TV to automatically open the Roku Media
Player when you connect a USB drive with a recognizable file system (such as
FAT16/32, NTFS, HFS+ or EXT2/3). To configure this setting, from the Home screen
menu, navigate to Settings > System > USB media. At this point, the following
options are available:
• Auto-launch – Select Prompt, On, or Off, as desired.
• Prompt – (default) Display a prompt each time a recognized USB drive is
connected. The prompt provides options to launch the Roku Media Player
as well as to change future auto-play behavior.
• On – Always launch the Roku Media Player whenever you connect a
recognized USB drive.
• Off – Never launch the Roku Media Player automatically.
• Launch channel – Select the app you want to use to play back media files.
Playing content from local network media servers
Only in connected mode
, your TV can play personal video, music, and photo files from
a media server on your local network. Media servers include personal computers
running media server software such as Plex or Windows Media Player, network file
storage systems that have built-in media server software, and other devices that
implement the specifications of the Digital Living Network Alliance. Some servers do
not fully implement the DLNA specification but are UPNP (Universal Plug and Play)
compatible. The Roku Media Player can connect to them as well.
Some media servers can convert files into Roku compatible formats. Digital Rights
Management (DRM) protected content is not supported.
