UPDATE! I have got all media files to display on the Roku by overriding the MimeType to "video/mp4"īut now it won't play the newly-visible videos - it says "File Not Playable: the file might be damaged or corrupt" With Video - Mode: "Specified Output Format", the Roku shows none at all - it says "no compatible videos found", regardless of the conversion video format chosenĪny advice would be much appreciated, as I would love to get this Roku working - I want to replace my generic Chinese DLNA client because the Roku does cover art and metadata and the Chinese device does not, and then I can stop using the Chinese device completely and have one fewer remote control. With Video - Mode: "Specified Output Format Only When Necessary", the Roku shows 15 of my 295 videos (for some reason fewer than Original?)ģ. With Video - Mode: "Original", the Roku shows 38 of my 295 videos (those 38 being all my MP4 and MKV files)Ģ. I'm doing all tests on my collection of 295 movies, which are from mixed sources and have varying formats (mostly XVid, some H264.)ġ. ![]() Here's a summary of what I see with the three video conversion options. I have tried all of the default DLNA types (Generic, Legacy, Samsung BD/TV, Sony, etc), and I've tried customising them using all three Video format conversion options and every single choice of format (not that there's much point trying anything other than H264, which is all it says it will support.) So the problem is that I can't find any DLNA conversion options that will allow me to convert and play any of the other files in my MC library - such as AVI files in XVid format. The Roku Media Player states it only supports H264 in MP4, MKV and MOV files, and these are the only files in my library I can get it to display. Media Center's DLNA server shows up fine on the Roku, but only a few my videos will be listed by the Roku. On the Roku I use Roku's own "Roku Media Player", a general DLNA client for video, audio and photo. I also have a Roku 3 box, but unfortunately I am unable to get the DLNA server working to list most of my video on that device. This works fine for all my movies and TV shows. DLNA is working in general - specifically I am currently using it to a generic Chinese media player (called "V-Bridge"), using always-encode ("Specified output format") to MPEG2/DVD/PAL. To include multiple files you must insert a language extension, for example or have a Media Center 22 install which provides local video playback on our main TV as well as DLNA video playback to a secondary TV.
