FAQ
Many newer Roku devices and Roku TVs support AirPlay 2. To check, open Settings. If you see Apple AirPlay and HomeKit option on your Roku, your device supports AirPlay 2. If this option is not available, go to Settings > System > Software update and check for a Roku OS update. If your Roku device supports AirPlay 2, updating to Roku OS 10 or later should add the Apple AirPlay and HomeKit option to Settings.
Compatibility depends on the specific Roku model and software version. Older Roku devices may have different streaming capabilities than newer models. If your Roku device is not detected by Elmedia Player, check that both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network and that the Roku model supports the required streaming technology.
