I checked. They are mp4
OK, MP4 files usually have supported codecs within them, but without verifying the codecs there's no way to know for certain.

Will Mediainfo tell me that?
As I posted, the video loads but doesn't play, all the mp4 videos do the same. A circle in the middle of the screen but nothing, nothing moving in the cir le as if it was loading. And these videos played when I first installed the Roku. I thinking of deleting the app and resetting the roku, then installing.

Yes, MediaInfo would provide that info. If you decide to remote RMP and reinstall, remember you must reboot the Roku after the removal and before installing it back.
I forgot to ask, how are you providing the media to play on the Stick? You aren't using a USB stick connected to the Roku, so what is making the media available? If you're using the Windows Media Server, that might be the issue as well, as it's a miserable DLNA server.

On my Samsung tablet, I go to Files, click on the file, a pop up, I choose VLC, but have tried othersxwith no success. The strange, the same videos worked fine the day I bought the Roku.
