Around 2016, Roku devices used more powerful processors, and 4K also became available. Beginning with the 6th generation devices, MPEG-2 video support was added to the players. Roku TVs have always supported MPEG-2 video, as that is the Digital TV standard (ATSC 1.0) for North America. | Around 2016, Roku devices used more powerful processors, and 4K also became available.

Roku devices only support a limited number of video and audio codecs, as well as only a few containers. You can view [[https://support.roku.com/article/208754908-how-to-use-roku-media-player-to-play-your-videos-music-and-photos|this page]] for more detailed information. But in general, the video must be the H.264/MP4/AVC codec, with H.265 for the 4K devices and MPEG-2 for 6th generation and newer devices. For audio, the codec must be AAC/PCM (stereo only)/AC3. DTS is supported only as a passthough bitstream from MKV files. As for containers, MKV, MP4 or MOV is officially listed, but TS containers (.TS, .M2TS) are also supported. | Roku devices only support a limited number of video and audio codecs, as well as only a few containers.

The first Roku profile included with Serviio (named "**Roku Media Player**") is designed to support the earlier players. These players had a bit rate limit of around 16 Mbps, so any HD media most likely needed to be rate-limited. By default, this is always the profile assigned by Serviio to any Roku device. If your Roku is new enough to support higher bit rates and additional codecs, you must manually select a more appropriate profile from the list below. | The first Roku profile included with Serviio (named "**Roku Media Player**") is designed to support the earlier players.
