+ | **Roku 1080 Media Player (2016+)** This profile was the first update to allow Serviio to stream without transcoding for the new Roku devices. Most likely the older Roku players that would work well with this profile would be the Roku 2 (4210) and Roku 3 (4200). The Roku Stick (3600) works well with this profile as well. This profile will still transcode MPEG-2 video. DTS will passthrough to a supported AVR. | ||

+ | **Roku TV (non 4K)** As the name implies, this profile is best for the non-4K Roku TVs. MPEG-2 video is not transcoded. DTS is transcoded to Dolby Digital, as few TVs support DTS audio. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Roku 4K TV** This profile is identical to the profile above, except it allows H.265 video playback without transcoding. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Roku 4K Media Player w/MPEG2** As mentioned, beginning with the 6th generation devices (2016) MPEG-2 video is supported, so no longer requires transcoding. This profile also supports H.265/HEVC without transcoding. However, if you have a 1080 player, such as the Roku Express, the use of this profile will cause H.265 video playback to fail. You could use the non-4K TV profile, but you won't get DTS passthough. You must choose one or the other. | ||
