Playing content from USB storage devices
Only in connected mode, your Home screen has the
Roku Media
Player
tile. Otherwise, the Home screen has the
USB Media Player
tile. You can play personal music, video, and photo files from a
personal USB flash drive or hard disk connected to the TV’s USB
port.
To use this feature, make sure your media files are compatible
with the Roku/USB Media Player. 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.
For more information about playing back your personal videos,
music, and photos, go to the following link on the Roku web site:

There are many variants of each supported media format. Some
variants may not play at all or may have issues or
inconsistencies during playback.

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 will connect to them as well.
Some media servers can convert files into Roku compatible
formats. DRM-protected content is not supported.
