I have a USB plugged in with 12 MP4 files that I am wanting to play on a loop. Every time I try to play them I get a message saying "File Not Playable" then "The file might be damaged or corrupt". I had .jpeg files on the USB this morning and it worked fine. Anyone have experience with this?
Thank you for posting here in the Roku Community!
We understand you're having a problem with the Roku media player since it will not read the file and will give you an error message that says "File Not Payable." No worries; we're happy to assist you further. Different Roku devices support different formats. Newer firmware may support additional formats. The type of audio format supported is dependent on the type of TV or A/V receiver your Roku device is connected to. Formats supported by your Roku device can be viewed by accessing the?/Help pages from the Media Device and the Media Type selection screens.
MP4 is a container, and it can contain different audio and video codecs. JPEG is a image format, so apples and oranges compared to playing a video. MP4 is a supported container, but if your files are using an unsupported codec that would explain the error message. I play MP4 files on my Roku devices without a problem.
If you can tell us the codecs within your MP4 containers, we can determine why they won't play. There is a free program called MediaInfo that can read any media file and report the contents of the file. Make sure to select "text" for the output format, not the "basic" option. Basic doesn't list the codecs completely.
The problem is not the fat or the MP4 files. It is with the Roku updates. I have the same problem that started at the same time the message "Allow access to external media by ALL channels installed "started to show up. When I select "Do not allow" the app says "no compatible media found " on a drive i have been using on roku for years.
I think this all started with a 1/17/24 update. It appears to stop ALL access to my drive - including me. If I shut everything down - unplug and re-plug my drive back in it will play files until until The Allow access screen pops up again. Does this message "Allow access to external media by ALL channels installed " mean other channels can read and download from my Disk? I have a Roku ultra - not a Roku TV.
@RRicko, all apps have always had access to your USB drive. The new message just informs users of what has always been the case. It's an all or nothing thing - if you choose "Don't allow", then nothing is allowed to access the drive.
Thanks for the info. I guess the message should read "Allow access to external media by ALL hackers" . If they can read it they can also write to it. But if i'm wrong and this is not a security concern, why should anyone disable the USB port by clicking on Deny Access? Maybe a better notice should be "Use port at your own risk".
No, the problem is what's inside your MP4 container. There has been no updates to RMP for several years. The most recent updates to the Roku OS have not impacted RMP functionality in any way that I have detected. I can play MP 4 files without issue on my Roku devices, but that's because the codecs inside the container is supported. If you could provide the information I requested, we can hopefully isolate your problem.
Blackmagic Media Player is a capture and playback solution for Thunderbolt computers that's specifically designed for playout to live production switchers or large broadcast systems. However it does much more than just video in and out because you also get 10G Ethernet and power to your computer! You get dual 12G-SDI outputs for fill and key playback, 12G-SDI capture, and 10G Ethernet for accessing network storage and laptop power over a single Thunderbolt connection! There is also an independent Thunderbolt connection on the front so you can simply walk up and plug in your laptop! It also supports full DeckLink API features so most video software will just work!
The DaVinci Resolve 19 cut page has exciting new media player, editing and replay features. DaVinci Resolve handles common video file formats, so you can play any files your client gives you! For broadcast graphics, DaVinci Resolve 19 can play video files that have an alpha channel, and they will be output as a 10-bit SDI fill and key. Plus the new multi source viewer allows visual media browsing, then any clips that match in time will be displayed in a multiview. New "on air" controls allow the key output to enable the downstream keyer in a switcher, so a single button can automate the playout to air. DaVinci can even add an automatic stinger! It's the perfect solution for news and replay!
Blackmagic Media Player includes fast Thunderbolt with video capture and playback, as well as 10G Ethernet and laptop power all over a single cable! There are Thunderbolt connections on both the front and rear panels, so you can connect either rack mount or laptop computers. With Thunderbolt, you get lots of speed to handle large 4:4:4:4 and 4:2:2:4 files with alpha channels, in all SD, HD and Ultra HD video standards up to 2160p60. Blackmagic Media Player uses the DeckLink API, so almost all video software works. Plus the Thunderbolt link is bidirectional, so you can capture, process and output video in real time! Now you can use computers as a graphics processing engine!
The Blackmagic Media Player has lots of connections for monitoring, extended desktop and fast networking. All with a single Thunderbolt connection! The program fill and key outputs can be muted so video won't key on a switcher until the replay has started. Then the dedicated 12G-SDI and HDMI monitoring outputs are always active so you can setup the next replay. There's even balanced audio out for powered speakers. 12G-SDI video in allows live input monitoring of the switcher multiview for replay. Plus the 10G Ethernet provides fast assess to shared storage for accessing ISO video files. There's even an extended desktop for the DaVinci UI. Plus a USB expansion for a keyboard and mouse.
With dual 12G-SDI video outputs, Blackmagic Media Player can connect into live production switchers so broadcast graphics can be overlaid with transparency. Internally, there's hardware support for both RGBA and YUVA frame buffers. With RGBA graphics, the Blackmagic Media Player will automatically transcode the RGB pixels to 10-bit YUV on the fill output and the alpha channel to the 10-bit key output. The two SDI outputs are then connected to a live production switcher where they can be keyed over video. The key output ensures you get smooth blending of the transparent elements in the images. This all means that Blackmagic Media Player is ideal for broadcast graphics and stingers!
Blackmagic Media Player uses the same Desktop Video software that's used in our popular DeckLink and UltraStudio capture and playback solutions. This driver supports simultaneous real time bidirectional transfer of video data to and from the computer. Plus the latency is extremely low. What this means is you can capture image data into the computer from the SDI input, while at the same time, send image data from the computer to the SDI outputs. This lets you create some amazing solutions where the computer is a processing engine. Imagine using the computer as a keyer, or generating broadcast graphics over the live input! Or even exciting new AI based processing overlaid on live video!
The high speed 10G Ethernet port means that the Blackmagic Media Player gives you access to network storage when your computer is connected to the Thunderbolt port. This means you don't need extra Ethernet adapters as you get video and network with a single cable. 10G Ethernet is 10 times faster than regular Ethernet so you get enough speed for lots of video streams, common when doing replay work. The 10G Ethernet port also features very low latency for fast access times. Plus Blackmagic Cloud Stores have 10G Ethernet, which means you get the speed to access shared media and ISO recordings so you can have multiple editors all working together in DaVinci Resolve.
With support for all popular video software, the Blackmagic Media Player gives you the freedom to work with the tools you already know and love! Blackmagic Media Player is perfect for using DaVinci Resolve for broadcast editing and color correction work. Because Blackmagic Media Player supports capture and playback at the same time, you can even use the live grading feature in DaVinci Resolve to capture video, apply color correction and then output it all at the same time! Blackmagic Media Player also works with other editing software including Final Cut Pro, Media Composer, Premiere Pro and more! You can even create stunning visual effects with Fusion, After Effects and Photoshop!
When creating broadcast graphics and titles, you will want to use the same tools graphic designers are already familiar with, so you get the most creativity, with no retraining required. Blackmagic Media Player works with Fusion, which is the visual effects software integrated into DaVinci Resolve, as well as Adobe After Effects and Photoshop. Fusion Studio is a powerful node based compositing VFX tool with 2D and 3D environments, hundreds of effects and more. Plus you can download and use Fusion free of charge in DaVinci Resolve! You can use the included Blackmagic Media Express software to capture and play back video into files that can be loaded into Fusion, After Effects or Photoshop.
