The offer is limited to new Apple TV+ subscribers. Roku TV models are expected to receive the update in phases over the coming months, according to the company.Įligible customers who purchase and activate a Roku device from Octoto Januwill receive a promotional code for three months free of Apple TV+. I was able to confirm this was a Roku specific issue by trying the same sources on a physical Apple TV, which worked. This seems to be limited to Quicktime, or third party apps like ElMedia Player Pro, when it comes to airPlay not working with Roku. Roku OS 9.4 will begin rolling out to select Roku players this month and is expected to roll out to all supported streaming players, including the all-new Roku Ultra and Roku Streambar, in the coming weeks. YouTube work with Roku from Safari, and they work from iOS. Roku-based smart TVs are available from brands such as TCL, Sharp, Hisense, Hitachi, Sanyo, and RCA, or customers can connect a Roku streaming stick to their existing smart TV via the HDMI port to access the platform.

And with HomeKit support, users can easily control the TV's power, volume, source, and more using Siri or the Home app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Long story short, Plex and Roku 3 are a beautiful combo.AirPlay 2 will enable users to stream videos, music, podcasts, and more directly from an iPhone, iPad, or Mac to a compatible Roku smart TV, with no Apple TV box necessary. Long story short, Plex and Roku 3 are a beautiful combo.but iTunes and Apple TV have their benefits! With Plex that sucker needed to be running fully awake 24/7. Apple devices will wake your mac when needed. That and I can finally let my mac mini go to sleep again.

Besides I already had like 30 iTunes movies. iTunes is the only digital store front I trust to be in existence for a long time. I shut down Plex and chose to buy most of my content in iTunes from here on out. Now I'm finding some movies aren't even on blu ray yet, but you can get them in HD digitally. I've probably ripped 600 discs over the last 5 years when you count all the TV shows. I've personally become fed up with ripping/converting DVD's and blu rays. Now that I've said all that, I also have to admit I stopped using Plex. search your own library! It really is great. Your TV episodes will play continously (optional), you can actually. While it's not 'sexy' or whatever, it gives you features I've long since wanted on Apple TV. It played all of my handbrake movies converted for Apple TV perfectly without transcoding. Plex on a Roku 3 blazes along, that I can promise. It's really a matter of function over form.
