+ | **Roku 1080 Media Player (2016+)** This profile allows Serviio to stream without bit-rate limits for newer Roku devices. Most likely the oldest 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. | ||
