Roku Media Player - Trying to Use Either Plex or Windows as a DNLA

Jump to solution

Hi - I am trying to use either Plex Media Server or Windows (Media Player) as a DNLA to play my music on the Roku Media Player.  With Plex as the server I can only play one album at a time.  I would like to play say all the albums by an artist at the same time.  With Windows (Media Player) (Windows 11) as the DNLA it tells me that it can't find any compatible media.  I will gladly post the steps I took for either option, just didn't want to bog this down with all of that to start with.  Any help will be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

Hi - Thank you for your reply.  I followed the instructions from the link that you mentioned.  However, I can only play one album at a time.  I'm trying to play all albums from one artist at a time.  How would I do that?  Thanks!
