Stream and Play Local 4K Video on Roku 4 via USB or Plex Media Server

As the Roku 4 only supports to play 4K video encoded with H.264 or H.265/HEVC codec with USB drive. Therefore, if the 4K video are recorded with other file formats such as XAVC S, Prores, MXF, etc. Roku 4 will fail to open that with USB drive. Although some people suggest using Plex to transcode unsupported file codec, however, as the transcoding of 4K is very CPU intensive and the transcoding process will use the temporary disk storage for the converted media, therefore, if you don't have a faster CPU or your OS boot drive is very small, it is not suggested to perform the conversion with Plex Media Server. To release you from all those scratching issues, a more powerful media conversion tool called Pavtube Video Converter for Windows/Mac (best Mac Video Converter Review) is recommended to you, the program has full compatiblity for all 4K video encoded with various different codec, you can easily transode unsupported 4K video to Roku 4 playble H.264 or H.265 codec for better playing with USB drive or streaming with Plex Media Server. http://www.pavtube.com/play-stream-4k-video-on-roku-4.html
