![]() For channel storage space, they all have either 256 or 512 MB, again with one exception (Ultra 4640 1 GB). Only one device has more than 1 GB or operational memory (Ultra 4670 2GB), and most only have 512 MB. It's likely a simple flat file of ASCII text, so should be minimal, depending on exactly what is stored.īut overall Roku devices are extremely memory limited. How much space it takes to store that data is completely dependent on the format they use. It seems like they just don't want to for some reason. So whether or not they do this can't possibly be storage related. they've all got SOME storage even if just to save system settings and we're talking about keeping a tiny bit of data about the last 5 things you've watched. ![]() I once looked into all the nonsense you've gotta follow in naming files to get it to work properly and then promptly forgot all of it so I really only use it when I'm having trouble with a file format not playing through my regular DLNA we agree though that the amount of storage needed for this is absolutely trivial and not an issue for any device? I mean. It drives me nuts trying to get things to even show up on it. I do run a Plex server but have mostly abandoned using it. If storage is an issue for the other versions then the feature could only work on the ones with storage. it's trial and error to get to the last one with the resume option.įWIW, I've got a Roku Ultra so I've got tons of capacity for storage. When I finish an episode, I start the next one and then stop it. it's already doing so as it gives you the option to resume from where you left off if you choose something you were already watching. The Roku definitely has the capacity to store a few bytes of information listing the last 5 things you watched or some such thing. ![]() But it does mean that whatever device is used it must be powered on at all times, or else you have to start it each time you want to watch something. And some NAS devices have install packages. It can be Windows, Mac, or Linux based for most of them. These media servers are installed on a PC or NAS device on your network. Both Plex and Emby have Roku channels/apps that offer a user experience more like Netflix or Prime Video. But Serviio is "just" a DLNA server, so must use RMP as the player. It has a presentation view that shows last watched (movie or TV show), and depending on the player supports resume. ![]() It tracks the last viewed TV episode and marks the season and episode with an * on the name. Media servers such as Plex or Emby do it the best, while generic DLNA servers do offer many of those features. The DLNA server in your router likely doesn't support any of that, again because of limited memory. However, many media server packages do remember what you watched, and it you stopped while watching allows resuming where you left off. Roku devices don't have the memory to store that kind of information. As for myself, I am building a small Media Player to plug into the HDMI port using a Raspberry Pi.No, RMP does not keep track of your viewing. Sadly, all I can say is good luck with that player issue. It is not just a DLNA issue but just a poor app design. Quite dumb now without access to your own video that you can control. So much for what they call a Smart TV that we purchased. Almost like what they called HTPC (Home Theatre PC) years ago. Or you can hook up something that you can load your videos onto and hook it up to the HDMI. I would suggest looking at the Plex Media server and the App for Roku. This Fwd Pause/Play Rwd has been an issue as far back as 2015. Remove the RMP app by pressing the Star * key while the icon is selected then reinstall the player (Roku Media Player) via search. You can try this method to repair the RMP. The drop-downs for symptoms in support go nowhere. Their forums are locked and if you have noticed, no support phone numbers or online support. One company confirmed that Roku is on its way out and their company is in the process of designing a way to replace the Roku system for their customer's older TVs so they don't have to replace the TV due to a defunct operating system. I called both companies and they both said to refer to Roku. I have the same issue with two different manufactured TVs with Roku system. Good luck with getting the issues with RMP resolved.
