Hi, I purchased a TCL Roku TV and it has the Media Player built-in. No channel needed. Whenever I pop in a USB drive, it prompts to launch the Media Player. How do I manually load the Media Player ? I don't see a Media Player channel on the home screen. And I don't want to have to keep popping the USB drive in and out to load it. Thanks.

You should be able to add the Roku Media Player from the channel store, which would add it to your channel grid on the home page.

I tried doing that but noticed that the media player from the channel store showed the images at a lower quality than the built-in media player. Maybe its not optimized for the device ? At any rate, I had to reset the roku tv to factory settings to get the built-in media player back.
