With up to 1080p HD video and extended-range, dual-band wireless performance, the Roku 3 takes streaming to the next level. You can freely enjoy your own media on Roku 3. (Apple TV vs. Roku 3 vs. Boxee Box vs. WD TV Play vs. Google TV) If you want to play movies I downloaded online which are in .mkv format, you will find the thing is, some MKV files do not show up on your dashboard/tablet app. What is the problem? 


Hot Search: Why choosee MKV | DVD to Roku | Blu-ray to Roku | iTunes to Roku | AVI to Roku | MKV to Roku | Apple TV Column | PS4 Column | Roku Column | Chromecast Column 
 




After digging deeper into technical specs of the Roku 3, I found the corresponding answers. Though Roku USB channel has the ability to read and play MKV files, there are some restrictions on the MKV files. Roku USB Media Player channel only plays MKV files encoded with H.264 video codec and AAC/MP3/DTS/AC3 audio codec. If the MKV is encoded with other video or audio codec like MPEG-2, WAV and etc, we will fail to play MKV on Roku via USB drive, SD card or external HDD. 


To solve Roku 3 won't play MKV files issues; a recommended fix is to convert MKV to Roku compatible video files. Along with some help from third party program like Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate, it can be done effortlessly. (Read the review) This video app is professional on fast transcoding MKV to Roku 3 with MP4 format (the most compatible video format for Roku) without quality loss. In addition, it not only supports MKV videos, but also handles various common video formats, like MXF. MTS, MOV, MP4, AVI, WMV .etc. For Mac users, iMedia Converter for Mac is also a helpful app to encode videos for further usage.

iTunes movie new releases can't play via Roku?


Will Roku 3 play December 2014 iTunes movie new releases? Yes. This article is a tutorail on how to stream iTunes movies to play on Roku 3 by roll off the DRM protection. 

Roku 3 can allows users both to stream video content from the Internet and play movies locally through a USB drive, but the problem is that the supported media file formats are limited. Unlike Apple TV 3 which can access iTunes movies, we can't install iTunes on RoKu 3, let alone playing December 2014 iTunes movie new release like Gone Girl, Jingle All the Way 2, The Good Lie, The Hero of Color City, Frank, etc. on Roku 3 through USB. Why? 

 




Roku has the USB channel that can play back videos attached to the USB port. You could copy videos (1080P, 720P or lower resolution) onto a hard drive or keychain drive and attach them to the USB port on the Roku XDS. But keep in mind a USB port enables local media playback (supported formats include: MP4 (H.264) & MKV (H.264) video / AAC & MP3 audio / JPG & PNG image) to play on Roku 3.
