Agreed, I'm having the same issue. I used VLC Player (Win11) to create a .m3u Playlist File (then later a .m3u8 Playlist File) placed it in the root folder on the USB, and connected it to the Roku Ultra. 

software-version>12.5.5
ui-software-version>12.5.5
grandcentral-version>11.3.24
trc-version>3.0
trc-channel-version>9.3.10
 
I set Auto-Launch to On/Off/Prompt and rebooted the Roku Ultra after each setting with the USB connected. 

Never Prompted. 
 
USB also has several Media Files.

    IMBEN, does it work if you disconnect and reconnect the USB drive?

      No, disconnecting and reconnecting the USB drive definitely doesn’t fix the problem.

        RMP has not received any updates for several years, and has numerous problems. Roku doesn't appear to have any priority to resolve these issues. The original developer retired from Roku maybe 5 years ago, and his replacement(s) have not shown the same interest in the application. They completely disbanded the beta test team more than a year ago without explanation, so we really have no idea what's happening with the channel now.
