The Roku Media Player (RMP) is a Roku Device app can be installed on a Roku device easily via smartphone. There is no server side installation. Sole The sole installation is of the RMP app on the Roku device. 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 the existing MiniDLNA setup (including the settings in the miniDLNA configuration file), or, whether the RMP's functioning is not dependent on the miniDLNA setup.)
