I’m thinking of getting a roku streaming stick for travelling
Pretty good! The very recent update was massive.
We’re always looking for user feedback. What are some of the things that you see as usable now that weren’t before?
I don’t have any problems with mine. It was just updated
not too long ago as well.
For me it answers what i need it to be . Good enough and i encountered no bug yet .
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.
It was pretty decent before the most recent update, now it’s great!
Anecdotally it also seems very quick and responsive in comparison to commercial streaming apps (including Plex, which at this point I also consider a commercial streaming app). I don’t know how much of that is the app, and how much is that my Jellyfin setup is local but regardless, it’s nice.
