I have actually contacted and spoken with someone at Roku, and they went through all kinds of trouble shooting steps with me. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app, they tried all kinda of things. They then escalated it and I have never heard anything back, this was months ago now, so Roku apparently has no intention of getting back to me to resolve the problem. It is very frustrating. When I go to my media folders and try to go to a video, it says there is no compatible media in that folder, even though all my video's are M4A files and work just fine 90% of the time. They there will be a window's update and poof it doesn't work again. No settings have been changed. It says sharing is enabled

I don't know what I would be taking a picture of.
If simply says "No compatible media found" when I try to access folders containing my video files. They are compatible I have watched them before and any new files I have added since the latest issue with this occurred can be viewed, just not the prior ones. My files are all MP4 files which are compatible files.
