Will this player stream from a Roku? Also, will it play movies stored on an iPod Classic?

I'm sorry that I'm not able to answer your question. I bought this dvd for my son and he doesn't have a Roku and neither an iPod Classic. He only uses it to watch DVDs. Hope somebody else can help you.

I returned this item the day after I got it!!! I did not own one. Please do not ask this question again.

Yes you can. First make sure you purchase a Roku model that has a USB port (Roku 2 XS, Roku XDS, Roku HD-XR and Roku 3). You can then add the USB Player from the Roku Channel Store located in the Photos and Video category. You access the channel store from your Roku, once it's up and running and connected to the internet. The USB player is free.

In my opinion USB video on Roku is pretty much non existant. I have a cinema tube and it can play anything even from an external drive. I wish Roku could do that for sure but for what you get its awesome for live streaming.

I just wanted to make a quick correction. iPods can certainly play 192kbs files (and higher) as well as Apple Losseless, unprotected mp4s and a few other things I've probably forgotten. The iTunes store, at this moment, only sells 128 kbps protected AAC files (though that should be changing soon) which may be the source of the confusion.

I have used it to play media on my Roku 3 - you just have to check the video/audio format, because Roku is picky. This is the link to the specs on Roku 3: http://www.roku.com/products/roku-3

I just returned the roku 2 xs and purchased the original xs. I noticed the roku hd in my living room buffering after I added the roku 2 to my tv in the tv room. Never had that problem before. The roku2 also buffered or dropped movies. Roku 2 didnt play PlayOn channels that I watch a lot. The Angry Birds game didnt work well on my roku2. My daughter has the roku hd for a 55 in. projection type tv and has no problem at all with hers. IMO, no need to upgrade to roku2. I did like the fact you can add a micro sd card to the roku2 for more channels but the negatives for me outweighted that. Love my roku though!

I contacted Samsung who told me there was not an Amazon app available for that player, even though Amazon told me there was. I ended up disconnecting the player and bought Roku.

I have never been able to stream with the Roku I purchased from Amazon a couple of years ago. It is just sitting by my television. I do have a smart TV now by Samsung so I really do not need the devise anymore. Sorry I cannot answer this question.

Hello from Medialink,This router does work with Roku players. There have been many reports of people having trouble with Roku's WiFi in general but nothing specifically tied to the Medialink router. Thanks,Medialink Customer Support856-216-8222support@medialinkproducts.com

My experience with this item is no. It does NOT work with Blu Ray players because of the HDCP, the copy protection that most Blu Ray Discs have. I'm not familiar with Roku.. You need a hdmi splitter with HDCP pass thru. Try B&H online out of New York.

Hi, yes this will work with a roku :) it can be used with anything that needs a video cable link to the tv. game system, dvd player, video streamer

If your Classic iPod has Bluetooth capability it should work. I use it to stream music to an older stereo receiver.

I am not sure just what a Roku is, but is its probably a digtial system using HDMI outputs, this unit handles Analog only, so I don't think it is going to work

I have an 80 GB ipod that plays videos. Works fine on that one. Don't know if that's the same as your classic. Definitely important to make sure you're ordering the one for your ipod model. I had to google several times before figuring out which one with what features I have. Installing not a cinch, but with perseverance and some luck was doable. Suggest watching youtube on it if possible. Installation should not be taken lightly.

I don't know, I would just really beg someone not to purchase this product. Spend the extra money for a streaming DVD player or a Roku. I purchased two of these units for my kids' room two years ago for Christmas and have had nothing but issues with them to include connectivity and remote control. I've had my Roku in my room for several years and never a problem. I've finally upgraded to Rokus for my kids' room this past Black Friday. If you're still wanting this product, I'll sell you both of mine for $5 + shipping and handling. I haven't thrown them out because I was waiting to give them to someone because they still work.

I believe this was the "premium" version of the original player. It has all of the various available connection input/output ports (unlike Roku 2), so unless your T.V. is 30 years old (or older) it should work for you. P.S. - T.V.s are super cheap these days, so you may want to shop for one of those first ;)
