This guide will help you understand how to use Plex with your Roku. In a matter of seconds, I streamed my local content directly onto my 4K Roku TV without cables just like I stream from any OTT application. So my mind settled on one local media server service that can help me here: Plex. Recently, I have been wanting to catch up on some old indie movies I used to watch when I was a child.īut they were local files I had stored on my computer and not available online on any streaming channels on my Roku. I can watch all of my online Over The Top (OTT) subscriptions like Netflix and Hulu all in one unified UI directly from my couch. Well, it's still early in the morning, so that's my excuse.Ever since I invested in my first Roku device, my media consumption experience has been such a bliss. Be careful with the audio codecs as well, if you aren't using an AVR or soundbar.ĮDIT: I didn't notice that already included the link. However, it's not completely accurate, as Roku devices also support the TS container (.TS. It's not as fancy of a user interface, compared to Plex or Emby, but it does the job.Īs to what media a Roku device supports, this page is the official support information. The Roku Media Player will connect to any DLNA server, and in general does a fine job. But Roku players can also stream from DLNA servers that don't offer a dedicated app. However, they both do also support DLNA as a side benefit, for players that don't have dedicated apps. They have a propitiatory format that will stream to dedicated apps (channels on a Roku). One bit of clarification: Plex and Emby are not by default DLNA servers.
Codec support isn't really a concern when using a media streaming server, as almost all will transcode on the fly. Yes, the Express will stream from a Plex server without issue.
