Re: AAC stream not working

While the Roku can play AAC files, it won't currently play AAC files purchased from iTunes, even ones that don't have any DRM.

Otherwise, see this thread for how to play most AAC files

Re: AAC stream not working

An AAC file is also not an MP3, so you need to set the StreamFormat to "aac" instead of "mp3".
