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.
Using your TV in a hotel or dorm room
Hotels, school dorms, conference facilities, and similar locations with public wireless
Internet access often require you to interact with a web page to authenticate your access.
These restricted public networks are commonly known as captive portal networks. When
you select a network of this type, the TV automatically detects that additional
information is needed and prompts you through using another wireless device to supply
the requested information.
Tips:
• Using your Roku TV on a hotel or dorm room network requires wireless availability
and use of your network-connected smartphone, tablet, or computer to
authenticate access to your wireless access point.
• Your TV must already be running software version 7.0 or later. You can find the
version number by navigating from the Home screen to Settings > System >
About. If it is running an earlier software version, you must use a non-restricted
network to link and activate the TV, and then update the software to version 7.0.
• Be sure to bring your Roku TV remote control, because the Remote feature of the
Roku mobile app may not work when connected to a hotel or dorm room network.
• Content might be limited or unavailable if you try to connect outside your home
country due to geo-filtering.
