Playing content from USB storage devices

Use Roku Media Player to play personal music, videos 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 that your media files are compatible with Roku Media Player. To see the latest list
of supported formats, view Help in the Media Player. Roku Media Player only displays supported file types, and
hides file types that it knows it cannot play.
Note: If you do not see Roku Media Player on your Home screen, it might have been uninstalled. You can rein-
stall it from the Roku Store by using the Streaming Channels menu option.
Auto player launch
You can set your TV to automatically open Roku Media Player when you connect a USB drive with a recognisable
file system (such as FAT16/32, NTFS, HFS+ or EXT2/3).
To configure this setting, from the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings > System > USB media. Choose
from the following options:
• Auto-launch – Select Prompt, On or Off, as desired.
• Prompt – (default) Display a prompt each time a recognised USB drive is connected. The prompt provides
options to launch Roku Media Player as well as to change future auto-play behaviour.
• On – Always launch Roku Media Player whenever you connect a recognised USB drive.
• Off – Never launch Roku Media Player automatically.
• Launch channel – Select the app you want to use to play back media files.

Playing content from local network media servers

Roku Media Player 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 Play-
er, 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. Roku Media Player can connect to them as well.
Some media servers can convert files into Roku compatible formats. Digital Rights Management (DRM)-protect-
ed content is not supported.

Setting up a payment method

For channels that allow you to pay through your linked Roku account, you can enter a payment method directly
on your TV. Entering a payment method on your TV means that you don't need to go to a computer or mobile
device to set up a payment method.
To add a payment method:
1. From the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings > Payment method > Add payment method.
2. Follow the prompts to update your payment method by selecting one of the listed options.
Note: If you have already set up a payment method on my.roku.com, that payment method is identified here
in such a way as not to expose any personal data. You can use this screen to change your payment method, if
desired.
3. Select Save card, and then press OK.
To manage your saved payment method and to see other payment methods, log in to your account at https://
go.roku.com/pay.
