You would be able to copy your files to USB, and send it to your customers to set up onsite playing from usb with a custom playlist - with buffering between each video clip.
The largest file I've been able to store on a roku is about 200MB in the tmp directory - with most all other channels removed.

BrightSign is a high-priced niche product. If FireTV and AndroidTV allow writing to local FS, don't be surprised how quickly Roku will jump on that too.

Re storage, note that channel bundles use different FS than temp dir. tmp:/ is a RAM file system (i think it uses the ramfs and not tmpfs because it has no upper limit and storing too much unpredictably crashes the box).

BrightSign is also a completely different company. It split off from Roku several years ago.
