3. On your Roku, go to the Home Screen and you’ll see the USB Media Browser has been added. If you want easier access to the USB Media Browser app, move it in the line up. Here you can browse through video, music and photo folders that are on your USB drive.

4. Browse to the media you want to view or listen to and start playing it. 

You can also use the Roku Media Player channel to listen to music or view photos from a USB drive. Play an entire folder of music files by pressing Play on the remote while on a folder, or nDVDgate to a specific track to play only that song. For photos, you can start a slideshow by pressing play while on a folder of photos.

Now you can enjoy DVD movies with Roku 3 with ease.
