Stream to Roku? (1 Viewer)

[digitlman]

I've searched for the answer so apologies if this is covered elsewhere.

Can MP stream tv to a Roku? I have a Roku SD.

 

[digitlman]

So...no then?

Never seen it mentioned here.

Hi digitlman

Yeah, my guess would be "no". A quick search of the Roku forums suggests that the device doesn't currently support receiving RTSP streams. If it can't receive RTSP streams then it can't receive TV from TV Server. Like I said, I only did a *very* quick search, so I could easily be wrong... and I wouldn't mind being wrong in this case.

Ok. Thanks for the replies!

Absolutely!!
Just use PlayOn
and the Local files extension. It works like a charm.

Thanks Rob.

I take it the link is meant to point to PlayOn. Roku instructions seem to be here.

I downloaded the 14 day trial and will give it a shot! Thanks!

I think you will like it. The PlayOn program and the Local Files plugin, allows you to stream all your local media and by adding several other plugins(most are free and painless to install) it makes the Roku a truly enjoyable device. Really isnt much that cant be done.... I use it for Live TV streams, live web streams and it can act as a device to play all your stored recordings from MediaPortal. Let me know what you think.
