Roku stick and no video
Posted: Tue Oct 13, 2015 5:52 am
Hi, we just got a Roku stick and the last few days I've been trying out different servers. UMS and Emby are 2 that I"ve been trying the most. Plex is very polished but for the most part I just don't want metadata, and might not play iso's. Anyway, UMS detects and works using Roku 3 profile but will only play photos and music. So I'm wondering if it's just for the lack of a proper Roku stick profile or what? I have been using Shark Win7 codecs for a long time and it just plain works (I really don't want to use K-lite as suggested) and I wondered if that caused some kind of conflict so I uninstalled the Shark and tried it but still doesn't work. Either way videos show a slight immediate buffer but then stick there and then I get a disconnect or no server message. I actually like the very simple look and layout of UMS better than Emby but no video at all is a big stumbling block. Are there specific transcode settings I should try? Maybe an older version? Any suggestions?
