Playing content from USB storage devices

Only in connected mode, your Home screen has the Roku Media Player tile. Otherwise, the Home screen has the USB Media Player tile. You can play personal music, video, 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 your media files are compatible with the Roku/USB Media Player. To see the latest list of supported formats, view Help in the Media Player. (There are many variants of each supported media format. Some variants may not play at all or may have issues or inconsistencies during playback.)  The Roku/USB Media Player displays supported file types only, and hides file types it knows it cannot play.


For more information about playing back your personal videos, music, and photos, go to the following link on the Roku web site:

Auto player launch

Only in connected mode, you can set your TV to automatically open the Roku Media Player when you connect a USB drive with a recognizable file system (such as FAT16/32, NTFS, HFS+ or EXT2/3). To configure this setting, from the Home screen, navigate to Settings > System > USB media. At this point, the following options are available:


Auto-launch – Choose Prompt, On, or Off, as desired.

  • Prompt – (default) Display a prompt each time a recognized USB drive is connected. The prompt provides options to launch the Roku Media Player as well as to change future auto-play behavior.
  • On – Always launch the Roku Media Player whenever you connect a recognized USB drive.
  • Off – Never launch the Roku Media Player automatically.

Launch channel – Choose the app you want to use to play back media files.
