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.
