Then there's many basic DLNA servers that handle the back end, and you use the Roku Media Player channel for playback. Emby offers a media server and has a Roku channel for playback. There are other media servers that can do the same. Some devices display subtitles and captions in their default appearance, or arent set up. Neither type of caption is supported by Roku devices. Many devices let you choose the appearance of subtitles and captions. On DVDs they're called VOBSUB, and Blu Ray uses PGS. Now you can play video files saved in the USB device. It works on some files Ive ripped but not others (but all the files work on say VLC or Kodi). Next, select item Media Player on Home screen to go to the USB device. I have several Roku (Media Express, Roku 4, Hisense Roku TV) and they often have trouble playing subtitles on videos extracted from DVDs using Handbrake.

If the original MKV videos use AAC 5.1 surround sound, Roku media player will play videos normally but no sound. There's no alternative video player that works with the USB port. Actually, Roku supports 2ch AAC, 2ch MP3, pass-through AC3, and DTS audio.
