The Roku Media Player (RMP) app can be installed on a Roku device via smartphone. There is no server side installation. Sole installation is of the RMP app on the Roku device side. Once invoked, the RMP makes all shares visible and any suitably formatted videos contained therein are playable via the Roku device. No real difficulty in getting all this to work. (One proviso: I already had miniDLNA installed and I did not try confirm whether the RMP is somehow piggy backing off of that installation (including the settings in the miniDLNA configuration file, or, whether the RMP's functioning is not dependent on the miniDLNA setup.)
