You don't need to permanently convert the files - UMS can do that on the fly. Use an appropriate renderer configuration (use existing one to start) which is supported by Roku 1.
TranscodeVideo = MPEGTS-MPEG2-AC3

A Raspberry Pi probably won't have enough power to transcode anything, so that assumption is correct. To be able to use the Roku in combination with a Raspberry Pi would thus indeed require you to convert the videos upfront, which to a large extent eliminates the need for a media server like UMS
In any case, I can't really find much useful information on the Roku support site, but they do say this:
Code: Select all
Formats supported by your Roku device can be viewed by accessing the ?/Help pages from the Media Device and the Media Type selection screens.
This might give you an idea what formats you can use.
