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.
*
There are many variants of each of these media formats. Some variants may not play at all or may have issues or
inconsistencies during playback.
† DTS audio, whether in music or video files, is supported only by pass-through, meaning that the TV cannot directly
output the sound of a DTS file, but can pass it through to a DTS-compatible receiver that is connected to the HDMI
ARC or Optical out (S/PDIF) connector on the TV.
