This is something that Roku isn't going to be able to add that'll be compatible across all the apps, this is a function that the individual app developers are going to have to add to their app if the deem it.

The Roku Media Player (RMP) is basically abandonware. It has not been updated in a long time. If anything,it sounds like it is less useable than it used to be.
There are no 3rd party players, and that may be due to security as it would typically mean accessing USB or a local network. Even RMP had a scary message requiring you to give it access awhile ago.
The Roku Media Player has not been updated in a very long time. It has several known bugs and has basically been abandoned by Roku. There are no 3rd party media players.
