![]() If you have another path into Roku support to someone who will listen, more power to you. If you're reading this forum you should know that nobody from Roku reads or cares about what is said here. I've never been able to get that to work on any Roku device, and my friend who needs them also can't get them to play.Īs for getting it fixed: I've reported this to Roku many times, and they just don't care. Roku Media Player also says it support subtitles. And it does not appear to support HEVC on most devices. Go past that and maybe it will play, usually it won't. I've found that the maximum it will support is a profile of "High" and IDC Level 4.1. What is also missing is what Profile and Level of H.264 will play. This web page basically says the same thing as the "Developers" page: but just because the Roku DEVICE 'supports' the format does NOT mean that the Roku Media Player channel support it. For Audio, it will play MP3, ACC, and M4V, and I think FLAC. I'm not sure if it will really play an MOV file either. I've never been able to get it to play an MKV file, nor has anyone else. What most users will see is this (assuming you can even FIND the web page, as it's well hidden and doesn't show up in most searches): It could be correct that "Roku Devices" will support these formats, but Roku Media Player won't. Is one that most users won't see, as it's in the developer's section: but it lists formats that the previous reply here says aren't supported. But there it is.Īs for the web page that has bad information on it: This did propagate to the folders below that in the directory tree.Īs I said, I have no idea why it was necessary to do this for Music when it was not necessary for Videos or Images or why I had to do this when it was never necessary in the past. It was necessary to bring up "Properties" on each of the folders separately, go to the Sharing tab, click on the "Share" button (even though it said it was being shared) which brings up the list of users who can share the folder, and then click on the "Share" button in the lower right hand corner to make the folder actually be shared. Right clicking on the folder and using "share with" did not fix the problem. But, for some reason I can't even guess, the Music folder was not actually set to bringing up the "Properties" tab on the Music library said sharing was on, just like the other libraries: but the folders below the top folder were not actually shared. All of them were set to share the folder. WMP set up the Videos, Images, and Music libraries. I did this the first time I set up this PC, and it worked. Every time I went into Windows Media Player and used the "Organize -> Manage Libraries" feature to add the folders to be served to the libraries. I mentioned that I've set up systems like this at least four times. ![]() I admit it's a little embarrassing, but I don't think it's my fault. I believe I said that the music used to play. Since Roku Media Player can see the Images and Videos and play them, the link from Roku Media Player to my media server must be working.ĭoes anyone have any suggestions as to why Roku Media Player isn't seeing any music files when Windows shows they are there in the library and are being served? I've never seen a fault like this before. I've done scans for corrupted Windows files, and SFC says everything is good. All of the Windows software says it's working properly. ![]() I've used the built-in Windows feature to reset the Libraries, but that hasn't changed anything. The test files I put in the library played when served by my other PCs. Windows Media Player says the files are in the library, Windows Explorer shows the proper media files in the Music Library, the sharing properties on the Music Library are the same as the Video and Images libraries but Roku Media Player says there is no music there. Videos play properly, Images show properly but music does NOT show up at all. I reset the libraries on that PC from scratch. One of the systems I set up was for a friend: he was having problems with other programs on that system, though Roku Media Player was seeing the media served on that PC just fine. Until now everything I put on was served (keeping in mind that the Roku web page that says what media it will play is totally wrong). I use Windows Media Player to be the server, I set up Music, Video and Image shares, they all go into the Windows Libraries, etc. All of the installations were fine when first set up. I've installed a DLNA server on four PCs so far (three Windows 7, one Windows 10). ![]()
