I’m thinking of getting a roku streaming stick for travelling
Depending on which Roku you have (and what you’ll be watching) you should definitely enable the subtitle burn-in for at least all complex formats. You can do that in the user settings in the web interface.
Everything else works just fine
I was thinking of getting this Roku, at the moment the most advanced content I’d be watching is h265 1080p.
The person you were replying to was talking about complex subtitle formats. All Roku models only support .srt style subtitles, whereas a lot of anime has .ass/.ssa subtitles encoded and bluray/dvd rips have image-based formats like PGS. Those more advanced/complex formats can’t be played by the Roku directly, so your server needs to transcode the video to burn the subtitles in.
Pretty good! The very recent update was massive.
This! Was pretty bad before the latest update. It’s usable now!
We’re always looking for user feedback. What are some of the things that you see as usable now that weren’t before?
Having an OSD during playback was the biggest improvement for me.
🤘 Killer! Enjoy
