Using your TV
Playing content from USB storage devices
Your TV has a USB port that can be used to play personal music, video, and photo files from a USB flash drive or hard disk. If
your TV is connected to the Internet, your Home screen has the Roku Media Player tile. If your TV has not been connected to
the Internet, the Home screen has the USB Media Player tile.
To use this feature, first make sure your media files are compatible with the Roku/USB Media Player. As of the publication date
of this guide, the following media file formats are supported:
• Video – MKV (H.264), MP4, MOV (H.264), TS (H.264)
• Music – AAC, MP3, WMA, WAV (PCM), AIFF, FLAC, AC3, and DTS*
• Photo – JPG, PNG, GIF
To see the latest list of supported formats, view Help in the Media Player.
The Roku/USB Media Player displays supported file types only, and hides file types it knows it cannot play.
Playing content from local network media servers
If you have connected your TV to a network, it 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 will connect to them as well.
Some media servers can convert files into Roku compatible formats. DRM-protected content is not supported.
--------------------------------------------------------
* DTS audio, whether in music or video files, is supported only by pass-through, meaning that the TV cannot directly output
the sound of a DTS file, but can pass it through to a DTS-compatible receiver that is connected to the HDMI ARC or S/PDIF
connector on the TV.
