However, I'm now facing a couple of problems.
#Serviio mkv install
I've managed to install Serviio, and I can view and play all the video files through Roku Media Player. I have no preference between using Plex, Serviio, or any other DLNA server, but if you're willing to help and you know most about Serviio, let's just assume I'm going with that. Wow, thanks for such a detailed answer! Okay, after poking around for another couple of hours I'm more than convinced that it's not worth my time poking around with Windows Media Server. It's mostly accurate, except they don't list the TS container (TS/M2TS) as supported, although it is. It then does what's needed for playback.įor more information about exactly what Roku devices support see this page for addition detail. If transcoding is required, it determines if it's just the audio, video, or both that need it. If a file will play without transcoding, Serviio sends it native. For your TCL TV, that would be the "Roku 4K TV" profile. I could never get the profiles to assign themselves accurately to a device, you you must choose it yourself.
Once installed and configured, you must select the appropriate profile for your Roku device.
#Serviio mkv pro
Serviio is free (has a paid Pro version that isn't necessary for home use), gathers metadata, has versions for Windows, Mac, Linux and NAS devices, and has a number of profiles developed specifically for Roku devices (yes, that's what I created). ( ) Disclaimer: I created the Roku profiles that are included with Serviio, so I know in detail how they work, but I do not work for them. Plex ( ) and Emby ( ) are two examples of these.įor a standalone DLNA server that works well with Roku devices, I recommend Serviio. Also, some servers have their own dedicated Roku channel/app that offers an interface more resembling Netflix or Prime Video. There are many that are either free, or offer a free version with a paid upper level product. I strongly suggest trying a different software DLNA server product. My guess is that Windows Media Server is messing with either the video or audio. But Roku TVs are supposed to convert 5.1 AAC to stereo PCM. For most Roku players, AAC audio is only supported if it's two channel. You didn't say so, but I'm assuming your TCL Roku TV supports 4K, so H.265 should play fine. And if offers no ability to gather metadata to improve your user experience. But as you've found, sometimes the media won't play, even if it appears correct. It has virtually no transcoding support, which of course might not be a problem if the media is all compatible. Gee, it's nice to be wanted, err, needed.įirst, I'll say that Windows Media Server is a terrible DLNA server.
