Nice..first updated vid I have seen for roku3 about youtube...I kinda have a dumb question...Im just learning about cutting my directv cord..so Im hooked on recording my shows...and having all my fav channels...so Im having a fit about lack of recording options..Dont want tivo, have looked at other options..but what is the usb port for on the roku?...I have an idea, but need to ask..thanks
The USB port is for looking at video or pictures you may have taken and want to watch on your TV. You just put them on a USB stick and watch them on your TV. Roku is a streaming device most live TV you would watch on it is usually available for watching on demand as well so there is no need to TIVO. You select what you want to watch when you want to watch it (as long as it's available) meaning that you can't watch what is not available on the Roku channel list. There are media servers that work with it too, like Plex Server. Thanks
The RUclips channel is now available on all current generation devices in the USA, Canada, UK and The Republic of Ireland blog.roku.com/blog/2014/04/22/youtube-update-channel-now-available-to-all-current-generation-devices/ *Current generation players are those introduced after July 2011 and include the Roku LT, Roku 1, Roku 2, Roku 2 HD, Roku 2 XD, Roku 2XS, Roku 3, the Roku Streaming Stick (both HDMI and Roku Ready versions) and the Roku HD model #2500.
I can''t tell you how much this helped me. I watched the video once and the second time I paused and did what you said with my ROKU. I had it at 1:39. Thanks so much. Being without grandchildren, lol, I'm usually at a loss with technical devices. Thanks, thanks, !!!
I am very glad I did a search for Roku and RUclips and found your video. This is going to change my viewing habits -- big time. I watch a lot of youtube on my desktop and laptop. I have done some youtube watching with a cable from laptop to TV but this makes it so much more convenient and comfortable with the Roku3. I followed your instructions and it works. I am curious why this is so hidden. This is huge.
No Idea why they don't advertise it more? But I venture to guess it's because it is currently supported on two Roku devices, the Roku 3 and the Roku Stick 3500R ruclips.net/video/sLcbQS1mWvg/видео.html
THANK YOU sooooo much for this video!! RUclips was already on my Roku (or maybe I added it while adding channels) but couldn't figure out how to see my subscriptions, etc. Praise God this video came up in my search!!! I agree, this is a FANTASTIC Roku feature. Now I can recline in my lounger to watch RUclipss instead of being stuck in my computer chair (I have a desktop PC.) Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Excellent Video. Could not get my IPhone RUKU app to work with the keyboard function. Now I can control youtube with both my PC and the IPhone using the techniques learned here. Keep up the good work!
Nice addition to roku for sure, however there's one thing missing.......without firing up your laptop (or whatever) you can't view comments or write comments yourself. You can only view comments by using your laptop. Sometimes you can learn more info from the youtube poster, or comments from viewers.
THANK YOU soooooo very much. I have watched a few other videos on how to do this and they never explained it or showed it like you did. Thanks so much. Had it in 2 minutes after your explaining it.
They have updated the app. You have to scroll all the way to the left to see it. Here is the video on the new app: ruclips.net/video/CVrReN_CYW8/видео.html Thanks
Do you know if you can view your subscriptions and subsequently play their channel's playlists? This was an issue with the ps3's yt app. Subscriptions was just a tab that had a random assortment of different videos of a select few of my total channels.
Awesome. Do you know when this became available?. Btw, I don't understand why there are 24 dislikes. It is the people with versions below Roku 2?. I doubt they are disliking your video as such.
762gunr They have updated the channel. Watch this video ruclips.net/video/J2yS3ltVQxU/видео.html You will see that the menu is now all the way to the left accessed by using the left arrow button and then you scroll down to setting and the pairing function should be there. I show it at @ 5:13 on the above linked video. Hope that helps.
i can't see youtube tv channel in my roku 2 channel store. tried to installed from online in my roku account. it says installed but i can't see/get updated onto my roku2. i ve restart my roku2. i still didnt get my updated/added channels...
Here is the official statement from Roku about youtube: UPDATE FROM ROKU 12/23/13: Since announcing RUclips availability on Roku 3 last week, we've received feedback from many customers. While most were excited to see the update, some were disappointed to find that their Roku players were not supported. We'd like to stress that it is a priority for us to make RUclips available on more Roku devices next year - including Roku 2, Roku 1 and Roku LT players. It will not be available for the oldest models (introduced prior to 2011).
I live in the US therefore I can not comment on what is available on Roku in Canada. Sorry. Maybe you could call Roku support and get an answer. If you do I would be interested in what they say. Thank you for watching and commenting.

So which roku is this in the video? Does the roku2 have the same youtube interface as the roku 3? Im confused with all the different Roku devices they have out now :o(
This is the Roku 3. But the interface is the same on all the devices. I would no longer recommend the Roku2 unless you don't have an HDMI connector on your TV/Flat panel. I would recommend the NEW! $49.99 Roku Streaming Stick 3500R See the video here ruclips.net/video/jEukkEbjeS8/видео.html It does require an HDMI connector on your display. Thanks
Manny G. Forever The Roku 3500r Streaming Stick does not include all the features of the Roku 3, but offers most features, and a size that allows it to stick unobtrusively out of an HDMI port. The primary things it lacks over the Roku 3 is the motion sensing remote, the headphone feature on the remote an Ethernet port (the stick is WIFI only) and the ability to expand the memory capacity using a MicroSD card. I own both devices and I use the Roku 3 as the secondary device on the upstairs TV and the stick is on the primary TV. When I want to watch a movie or show that my wife is not into I go upstairs and use the headphone jack on the remote to get good stereo. But seriously there is not a feature on the Roku3 that I miss on the 3500R streaming stick. The proof in that is that I use it every day for hours. They say the Roku 3 has a fastest processor but I really don't notice the difference both of them work great. So as long as you have a WIFI router and an HDMI port on your TV I would go with the 3500R Streaming stick. It's a great value. Thanks for watching.
I get youtube on my roku. But here is the strange thing. I earlier bought a smart blue ray player. I have youtube on that. But on my playlists, not all the videos are on the Roku youtube, while I think that on the Blueray one they are on there, at least more than on Roku. Any ideas?
+Richard Lloyd I think is great that you can access youtube videos on the main tv. That is a great feature because in youtube, you control what you watch... thans for sharing.
I 'chatted' with a Roku rep on their site and was told, yes, we DO have to enter numbers under You Tube/pair EVERY time. I requested he pass on my comments to the next level
Awesome feed back. Thank you very much for that. I did found that on my Android device or my Iphone IOS device I don't have to do pairing every time. So you could use that as a solution for now. Thanks again.
You can stream pictures and music but not Video. You can use Plex media server and Windows Media Player to do that. ruclips.net/video/Q23hwXig_qU/видео.html
Unfortunately, My "Favorites" playlist is inaccessible on my Roku3. "Liked" videos shows up as a list, so does "History," etc. Any plans to add "Favorites" to the Roku RUclips app?
Thank god I was wondering why no one had a vid of it yet I sold my Roku 3 because watching movies from the flash drive on the side it keeps crashing , have you experience this ? Thanks for the review
I have not had that problem with the flash drive port but to be truthful I don't use that feature very much. I used to use Plex to watch RUclips videos but now I have this option. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Where is the set for "Watch Later" on the Roku version? I have it on the browser version but can't find it on the Roku screen. It works great, otherwise. thanks
Once you pair a device, whether it be laptop or mobile, do you have to do it again and again each time you want to view RUclips videos on the TV? Its always the same TV and same mobile device. I paired my TV to RUclips awhile back, and then today wanted to view videos on my TV again, but found that I had to pair the TV again. Is that typical?
Richard Lloyd seriously ? thats a real pain, i was excited to know I could Q stuff and view later but to have to re-enter code each time is nuts ....like now, my GF is watching the TV so I came on Y/T to find neat stuff to check out and now I find this out? another function I won't use now.
Thank you for asking this question it was really bugging me too. So I found the solution for it. I will be posting a video on it soon and I will update you when I do. Thanks again.
***** Thank you for asking this question it was really bugging me too. So I found the solution for it. I will be posting a video on it soon and I will update you when I do. Thanks again.
I can not find any way to alphabetize the list. It seems to use the post date and time to sort the list. Sorry I could not help you further. Thanks for watching.
I don't understand how I can watch videos through my Roku that I have on my RUclips playlist. If I try to watch a whole series, it takes forever to go through all of the episodes to find the one I want. very very time consuming. Hoping there is a way to just add the videos I want to my RUclips playlist & then watch only those.
You can do exactly that but you have to do it on your computer on your RUclips account. You can make a smaller play list on your account and they play it on the Roku. Thanks.
I have another method to watch RUclips on Roku using the Plex channel.

I cannot cast videos from my playlists on GalaxyS4. A box comes up saying play all. I can cast videos from other sites but cannot get past my first video on my playlists. Do you know of a fix? Thanks.
This does not work for me. When I enter ruclips.net/user/activate, I don't get what you get. I get a list of possible sites for RUclips, not the specific page for activation. Therefore, there is nowhere to enter the code. Any help appreciated, because this seems to be maddeningly difficult.
When I put the code in and click on the "next" button my screen just freezes and doesn't go beyond this screen. I called Roku. They say it is a RUclips problem. They walked me through all the other steps. And when I go into display settings to select Roku stick and connect to wireless, it tells me my computer cannot connect to my wireless device. I just did a similar thing with PBS and put in a code for it to work, so I know it can work. It just does not seem to work with Roku. I am at a loss.
Thanks for the informative video. My problem is how to manipulate the menu on the right. When I searched for Taxi (the tv series) I got 4 episodes. After watching the 4 episodes, how do I get more episodes to watch. When I search I get the same 4 episodes. I'm sure there are more episodes of taxi out there. How can I either increase the results of the search to get more episodes? Thank you.
Richard Lloyd I've tried using the left right keys on the Roku remote but there are only 3 or 4 episodes to pick from. I tried pairing up my TV using my pc but that didn't do anything. I created a subscription to CBS which allows mne to watch many of the episodes but when I click on the subscription button for the TV there are none listed. Using my computer there is one subscription - the one I created. The CBS channel does appear on the left side of the screen (the side where you have the settings highlighted above on your video) and I can use it to access the Taxi episodes but it doesn't appear in my subscriptions using Roku on my TV. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I can't figure it out.
Joe Drouse Sorry for your troubles but I am not having this issue on my Roku so it is hard to diagnose the problem. I would suggest that you contact Roku support and see if they have any suggestions. support.roku.com/entries/413244-contact-support
I have a Roku 2500X installed youtube as prescribed can't locate my channels on the menu. Has roku menu changed? is there a roku software update i need to look for. I bought the roku two years ago and kind of lost interest because it was not user friendly to this Luddite. Joined amazon prime video and it works fine on the Roku box. any suggestions
There are work around solutions. I made a video of one here: ruclips.net/video/lf2TKXJ7UtA/видео.html but it's really cumbersome and limited to what content it is allowed to stream. Unfortunately the RUclips app requires more processing power than the old devices have to work. Here are the current players the youtube channel works with: *Current generation players are those introduced after July 2011 and include the Roku LT, Roku 1, Roku 2, Roku 2 HD, Roku 2 XD, Roku 2XS, Roku 3, the Roku Streaming Stick (both HDMI and Roku Ready versions) and the Roku HD model #2500. if you have an HDMI port on your TV you can buy a Roku streaming stick at Amazon for $48.99 :amzn.to/1vId6hC or a Roku 1 for $39.99: amzn.to/1K9RTb4 I think they are well worth the money just to get the youtube channel. I use youtube channel all the time but it is a matter of how much you value the feature. Here is a video on the Roku Streaming Stick 3500R: ruclips.net/video/jEukkEbjeS8/видео.html Thanks
Got it working. Not sure what I did. restarted computer, I guess. And re-installed Plex Media server. Already watched 5th Gear on big TV. Of course, would have been nice to browse RUclips straight off Roku, but mine is Roku 2, not RUclips supported, and I can not get Roku 3 as it requires HD Tv set. Mine is 11 yo Sharp. HD is still in plans.
Currently only works on Roku 3 but they will release it for the other Roku's in the near future. Try this as a work around : ruclips.net/video/lf2TKXJ7UtA/видео.html
Roku 3 has 'accepted my TV connection with you tube. Why do I have to enter numbers under you tube/pair EVERY time. Once accepted, I should be able to go to you tube and have the icon to show through the TV. How can I do this?
They updated the ROKU BOX!! I can stream RUclips NOW!!! For those who have the ROKU XS and the ROKU LT YAYYYYYY!!!!!! PLEASE CHECK YOUR UPDATES!!! mines was done AUTOMATICALLY!! I was not going to buy a ROKU 3 just to get RUclips! I am so glad i waited!!
Great! There is a new kid on the Roku block. It is almost as good as a Roku3 and it only costs $49.99 Check it out here ruclips.net/video/jEukkEbjeS8/видео.html
Exactly! I like it because you can use your device like a remote, i can be in my computer room on youtube and click on a video and pow its on my tv too and plus its quicker lol
Can you please please please help me figure out why I do not see my Roku 3 RUclips Playlist when I go to show more like you do in your video. The only options showing are Uploads for this Channel, Related Videos, Now Playing. What am I doing wrong?
I tried this again on my Roku. I did exactly the same thing again with the same video and I can not get the play list option. They must have taken the feature off. I am sure they will put it back in the future as it is a handy thing to have. Probably they had some technical issues with it. Thanks for watching.
Ken Gevon Yes it does. I tried some of my videos as the majority are in 1080P except the early ones I made and they stream crystal clear and sharp but I could not get more than 1280x720 on it but I do get that consistently. This was on my 3500R streaming stick and the Roku 3. Thanks
It is available for current generation players, which are those introduced after June 2011 and include the Roku LT, Roku 1, Roku 2, Roku 2 HD, Roku 2 XD, Roku 2XS, Roku 3, the Roku Streaming Stick (both HDMI and Roku Ready versions) and the Roku HD model #2500.
Something has gone wrong with the RUclips app after the upgrade. I'm finding myself logging in daily after the app kicks me out - sometime in the middle of a video. I get a sign in error and never had this issue before. I uninstalled and app, restarted Roku 3 and reinstalled. No change. It still kicks me out at random times. It's definitely a glitch in the app. My internet connection is fast and solid at 150 mbps. I have to keep a bookmark on my PC to ruclips.net/user/activate.
Richard Lloyd Thanks, but there's still a bug with app logging out users. Here's a some complaining on Amazon I ran accross. www.amazon.com/forum/roku?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx1Y5GBX0V7G7ZS&cdThread=Tx29843Z5NV83K6 I had a couple incidences pf being kicked out in the middle of viewing videos. Other times scrolling my favorites. I had the app first day and never had this issue until this upgrade. To have to go to a PC to log back in is annoying. Nowhereman RUclips app was better in that it allowed me to get my favorites and rewind and fast forward. It's barebones but works.
Lee Cochran I had a similar problem but I am not sure if this is the same problem. Here is my fix for it. I will have to test the app further. Thanks. BTW if you find a solution or my solution works please advise us. ruclips.net/video/4XDDK8Hll_w/видео.html

Janette Howard Sounds like it's time for an upgrade. Seriously the Roku3 is much faster. I upgraded to it and I am very impressed with it's performance and the RUclips channel is the icing on the cake. If you decide to go for it here is a link for it @ Amazon : amzn.to/13GzQqr
Janette Howard if i was you i would just wait. Its not worth it to buy a whole new Roku just to get youtube. There's not that big of a differance from the roku 2 to the roku 3 speed wise. My friend has the 3 and i have the 1 and i cant tell the differance. :)
yoooooooooooitsme Roku has promised RUclips on other than Roku3 sometime this year: UPDATE FROM ROKU 12/23/13: Since announcing RUclips availability on Roku 3 last week, we've received feedback from many customers.

i have both the 3500 and a 3600 and the yt app on the 3600 is much better, why the difference? the app version on each is identical, doesn't make any sense.
Beesley1 hour ago My father is interested in accessing either free game show episodes at CBS.com or using the low monthly subscription to "CBS All Access" to view "The Price is Right". I haven't been able to find available directly on either the Roku or it's competitors. Could I set up his Plex on my computer at a separate address and link it to his Roku account and have him be able to watch that from his Roku (connected to his dad's TV, as he doesn't have a computer)? And/or do you have any other suggestions for accomplishing this? :) FYI: He shares the Internet the Internet with his room-mate, but they don't share his TV or the Computer.
There is a CBS channel for the Roku but I don't think it has full Price is right shows, it looks like all clips. There is a Plex channel for Roku that allows you access a Plex server. Try it and see if it will work for you.
I just found it today so I am way behind the times I can watch placebo on the big tv not that my moniter was smaill it is 28 inches but 55 is much better I'm going to put everything on there cheers

YIoutube was working fine on my new Roku3 for the past month. But today theon screen went black for RUclips and I only have RUclips sound now.' Any suggestion on how to solve this?
MajorBrons If we are talking about the RUclips channel on Roku, you need to scroll all the way to the left of the screen until you get the red menu they scroll down to the very bottom and choose settings. In settings you will see a sign out option. Thanks.

Yes you can like RUclips video's on the Roku. You bring up the player controls (hit OK button on the remote while video is playing) and choose more... and then you get the option to like the video.
Ty!! After I asked u, I heard u mention it in the video. I'm so excited to try it, I just purchased the 3 last night & look forward to RUclips & Netflix! Thanks for making this video! :-)

Does anyone know how to fast forward youtube videos using the roku remote? I'm not talking about the single button press 10 second fast forward feature, but how to stream fast forward the videos?
Richard Lloyd Watched the entire 7+ minute video and you say NOTHING about fast forward as was the question. Thanks for what you do, but that was infuriating.
Richard Lloyd I searched the link and it explains nothing about fast forwarding. Other than using the Roku remote, I have to continuously hit the fast forward button to fast forward youtube vids. Not much of a convenience, but still works.
Richard, Thank U so very, very, much!!!! I was using a Bing browser&absolutely would not work. U need to use a Google browser&sign in to Ur google account, a fact they seem to have left out! Up&running thanx to U😘
Richard Lloyd No its never shown up on my pc. I just bought it from best buy last week. The mirascreen works fine w my cell phone and my cell shows up in my "add a device" on my pc. But for some reason the roku doesnt.
Nednerbish Here is a video I made about mirroring using the Roku ruclips.net/video/BUrERYQ8ojE/видео.html Here is a list of compatible devices: support.roku.com/entries/56698214-Roku-screen-mirroring-compatible-devices if your computer is not listed that is probably the reason. Thanks
Pre-Roku 3 devices can also use the Roku RUclips app (now). Resolution is terrible though. Also menu responsiveness is sluggish at best. Sticking with my work around for now, thank you.
Got 2. Have Plex installed on my PC (also if I don't want to hear the PC running / use my Media Server I use the custom bookmark which queues the video so the Plex app on the Roku have a pointer to the original video). Also on my IPod I installed Twonky Beam so I can directly send a video from my IOS device to the Roku (if I am not on my PC at the time and don't feel like turning the PC on just so I can watch a RUclips video on my TV).
Richard Lloyd Although I am pretty sure (at least hope) the RUclips app will eventually be updated so us Roku 2 XD users can enjoy HD videos. Also verified this by looking at a video where a lady was wearing jewelry (SD is far easier to see side by side compared to HDon this video).
geribaldi2 Cool. I made a video on using plex on the Roku but I am finding that there are copyright blocks on a lot of RUclips videos that the RUclips channel does not suffer from. Here is that video : ruclips.net/video/Q23hwXig_qU/видео.html Also I know some people will resent having to do this but you can get a Roku Streaming Stick 3500R for $49.99 which is almost as fast as a Roku 3 and has HD on the RUclips channel as well as the new interface for Netflix. ruclips.net/video/sLcbQS1mWvg/видео.html You have to understand that processing power doubles every 8 months and that technology moves forward at a fast pace. We don't expect 3 year old laptops to keep up with new ones for example. I own a Roku 3 and the Roku Streaming Stick 3500R and love them both. I am sure sometime in the future a new device Roku or not will be released that will make both my Roku's look prehistoric. At that point I will have to decide if it is worth purchasing the upgrade. At $49.99 I don't see a down side on the Roku Streaming Stick 3500. Thanks for your comments and watching.
Since this post there has been updates (and I have learned quality also depends on your connection). I have since attached my Roku 3 to my 5gh network and video playback is worlds better. Also unlike the Roku2 which did not have the CPU horsepower necessary the RUclips app is alot better is responsiveness.
My RUclips channel no longer works on my Roku 3. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling-to no avail. It says it's installed at 100%, but then the RUclips app no longer appears. Any suggestions?
+Katrina Belcher Try a factory reset. But understand that will wipe all your settings and I believe the passwords too. Basically you will be back to the day you got it out of the box. Thanks.

I am new to Roku and was mostly looking forward to streaming RUclips to my TV. So I was **SHOCKED** to see how terrible the app is!!! You want us to punch in letter-by-letter on a string of alphabet characters!!! There is no excuse for something that technologically backward! PLEASE FIX!
There are several ways to queue RUclips videos. You can use the Roku app on your smart phone that you can actually speak to, to do searches. You can pair your Roku with your laptop, Iphone, Ipad, Android device and pair it to the RUclips app on your phone as well and queue them up that way. I am sure that there are other ways as well to use this feature that I am not aware of. Thanks for watching.
my RUclips app on Roku has audio studder..My volume will flicker off e.g. 3 seconds of volume, 1 second of no volume, rinse repeat.. its unbearable.. Any tips?

+dorothydanridge You are most welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.
this make me to happy knowing that roku has an official youtube channel.
It is great news.
I am very glad I did a search for Roku and RUclips and found your video. This is going to change my viewing habits -- big time. I watch a lot of youtube on my desktop and laptop. I have done some youtube watching with a cable from laptop to TV but this makes it so much more convenient and comfortable with the Roku3. I followed your instructions and it works. I am curious why this is so hidden. This is huge.
No Idea why they don't advertise it more? But I venture to guess it's because it is currently supported on two Roku devices, the Roku 3 and the Roku Stick 3500R ruclips.net/video/sLcbQS1mWvg/видео.html
TY SO Much for this tutorial!!!! I have now paired my devices and can watch youtube movies! My grandson is thrilled! :)
That's great. I love this feature on Roku. Glad I could help and thanks for watching.
I'm amazed at the ease of getting my roku linked with youtube. instructions and Thank you sir.
You are most welcome. I use this feature daily. Thanks for commenting and watching.
I tried "uninstalling" RUclips on my Roku3 and then "reinstalling" it. It worked and I got the RUclips screen to work again!!
Thanks for your video!!
THANK YOU sooooo much for this video!! RUclips was already on my Roku (or maybe I added it while adding channels) but couldn't figure out how to see my subscriptions, etc. Praise God this video came up in my search!!! I agree, this is a FANTASTIC Roku feature. Now I can recline in my lounger to watch RUclipss instead of being stuck in my computer chair (I have a desktop PC.)
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching and the kind comments.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Fan-freakin'-tastic, Richard! Much appreciated. - Lisa
+heartcentered You are most welcome. I am glad I could help you. Thanks for watching.
Excellent Video. Could not get my IPhone RUKU app to work with the keyboard function. Now I can control youtube with both my PC and the IPhone using the techniques learned here. Keep up the good work!
+Kent Harris You are most welcome. I am glad I could help. Thanks for watching and the kind comments.
Is this not on all the Roku's? I have the purple one, and RUclips is not there.
Perfect. Had it going in 5 minutes. Thanks so much for the instructional video. Loving it.
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching.
Nice addition to roku for sure, however there's one thing missing.......without firing up your laptop (or whatever) you can't view comments or write comments yourself. You can only view comments by using your laptop. Sometimes you can learn more info from the youtube poster, or comments from viewers.
Do you understand how HAPPY I AM
it gives me a reason to use my roku
Great! Thanks for watching.
THANK YOU soooooo very much. I have watched a few other videos on how to do this and they never explained it or showed it like you did. Thanks so much. Had it in 2 minutes after your explaining it.
Duchess Samantha South You are most welcome. Thanks for the kind comments and watching.
Thank you for this video. It was exactly what I was looking for; you made it easy.
rimskywaterloo11 You are most welcome. Glad I could help you and thank you very much for watching.
There is no menu on mine. I have brand new fresh out of the box a Roku2. Perhaps you have the Roku3?
They have updated the app. You have to scroll all the way to the left to see it. Here is the video on the new app: ruclips.net/video/CVrReN_CYW8/видео.html Thanks
Do you know if you can view your subscriptions and subsequently play their channel's playlists?
This was an issue with the ps3's yt app. Subscriptions was just a tab that had a random assortment of different videos of a select few of my total channels.
You can view your subscriptions without issue but I have no idea how access the play lists of those subscriptions.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I have a roku LT and works fine
Great! Thanks for watching.
Thank You!! You made it so easy for my to get my youtube linked to my roku tv.
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching and the kind comments. I am glad I could help. All the best.
Awesome. Do you know when this became available?. Btw, I don't understand why there are 24 dislikes. It is the people with versions below Roku 2?. I doubt they are disliking your video as such.
It became available on 4/22/2014 and as far as the dislikes, who knows?
762gunr Not sure what happened to your post but I will reply regardless. Have you tried un-installing the channel and re-installing the channel?
Yes I did. Settings are non existent still.
762gunr They have updated the channel. Watch this video ruclips.net/video/J2yS3ltVQxU/видео.html You will see that the menu is now all the way to the left accessed by using the left arrow button and then you scroll down to setting and the pairing function should be there. I show it at @ 5:13 on the above linked video. Hope that helps.
Hey thanks!
762gunr You're welcome.
i can't see youtube tv channel in my roku 2 channel store. tried to installed from online in my roku account. it says installed but i can't see/get updated onto my roku2. i ve restart my roku2. i still didnt get my updated/added channels...
Here is the official statement from Roku about youtube:
UPDATE FROM ROKU 12/23/13: Since announcing RUclips availability on Roku 3 last week, we've received feedback from many customers. While most were excited to see the update, some were disappointed to find that their Roku players were not supported. We'd like to stress that it is a priority for us to make RUclips available on more Roku devices next year - including Roku 2, Roku 1 and Roku LT players. It will not be available for the oldest models (introduced prior to 2011).
I'm guessing this isn't available in Canada. My Roku 2 has no search feature in the main menu, and the Plex youtube fix was a dud too.
I live in the US therefore I can not comment on what is available on Roku in Canada. Sorry. Maybe you could call Roku support and get an answer. If you do I would be interested in what they say. Thank you for watching and commenting.
No problem RUclips will eventually available in Canada, thanks.

Thats great, thanks for update.
So which roku is this in the video? Does the roku2 have the same youtube interface as the roku 3? Im confused with all the different Roku devices they have out now :o(
This is the Roku 3. But the interface is the same on all the devices. I would no longer recommend the Roku2 unless you don't have an HDMI connector on your TV/Flat panel. I would recommend the NEW! $49.99 Roku Streaming Stick 3500R See the video here ruclips.net/video/jEukkEbjeS8/видео.html It does require an HDMI connector on your display. Thanks
So the stick is pretty much the same as the roku 3?? Wow. Thats amazing for 50.00
Manny G. Forever The Roku 3500r Streaming Stick does not include all the features of the Roku 3, but offers most features, and a size that allows it to stick unobtrusively out of an HDMI port. The primary things it lacks over the Roku 3 is the motion sensing remote, the headphone feature on the remote an Ethernet port (the stick is WIFI only) and the ability to expand the memory capacity using a MicroSD card. I own both devices and I use the Roku 3 as the secondary device on the upstairs TV and the stick is on the primary TV. When I want to watch a movie or show that my wife is not into I go upstairs and use the headphone jack on the remote to get good stereo. But seriously there is not a feature on the Roku3 that I miss on the 3500R streaming stick. The proof in that is that I use it every day for hours. They say the Roku 3 has a fastest processor but I really don't notice the difference both of them work great. So as long as you have a WIFI router and an HDMI port on your TV I would go with the 3500R Streaming stick. It's a great value. Thanks for watching.
RUclips channel on new Roku2 paired with my PC does not show the control bar at the bottom. The control panel you can bring up does nothing.
I get youtube on my roku. But here is the strange thing. I earlier bought a smart blue ray player. I have youtube on that. But on my playlists, not all the videos are on the Roku youtube, while I think that on the Blueray one they are on there, at least more than on Roku. Any ideas?
I think that Roku is having issues with the playlists function. I would pose the question with Roku and see what happens. They will fix it.
access to you tube is the only reason why I would buy Roku
I use the feature all the time on the Roku.
+Richard Lloyd I think is great that you can access youtube videos on the main tv. That is a great feature because in youtube, you control what you watch... thans for sharing.
You're welcome.
I 'chatted' with a Roku rep on their site and was told, yes, we DO have to enter numbers under You Tube/pair EVERY time. I requested he pass on my comments to the next level
Awesome feed back. Thank you very much for that. I did found that on my Android device or my Iphone IOS device I don't have to do pairing every time. So you could use that as a solution for now. Thanks again.
Can I play movies from my iPad 3 on my tv with the Roku?
You can stream pictures and music but not Video. You can use Plex media server and Windows Media Player to do that. ruclips.net/video/Q23hwXig_qU/видео.html
Unfortunately, My "Favorites" playlist is inaccessible on my Roku3. "Liked" videos shows up as a list, so does "History," etc. Any plans to add "Favorites" to the Roku RUclips app?
+Allan Armstrong You best ask Roku support about that here support.roku.com/hc/en-us/articles/208756978-Contact-Support Thanks.
They directed me back to RUclips natch, lol. Thanks for responding nonetheless man. Cheers.
+Allan Armstrong You are welcome. I just use my laptop to queue up youtube videos. Thanks.
Do you have to re pair your laptop every time you want to watch on TV?
Yes I do have to do that. I think it's a bug. But the weird thing is that if I use a private session on firefox I don't have to. No idea why.
Thanks for the prompt response.
Colette McWilliams My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Thank god I was wondering why no one had a vid of it yet I sold my Roku 3 because watching movies from the flash drive on the side it keeps crashing , have you experience this ? Thanks for the review
I have not had that problem with the flash drive port but to be truthful I don't use that feature very much. I used to use Plex to watch RUclips videos but now I have this option. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Where is the set for "Watch Later" on the Roku version? I have it on the browser version but can't find it on the Roku screen. It works great, otherwise. thanks
Hey bud how do u get that code that youtube ask wen u were adding the channel?
I show how to do that in this video: ruclips.net/video/AkFSdqt3hrQ/видео.html Thanks.
Once you pair a device, whether it be laptop or mobile, do you have to do it again and again each time you want to view RUclips videos on the TV? Its always the same TV and same mobile device. I paired my TV to RUclips awhile back, and then today wanted to view videos on my TV again, but found that I had to pair the TV again. Is that typical?
It's been an ongoing issue from day one. I still have not found a solution for it. Please advise me if you do. Thanks.
Richard Lloyd seriously ? thats a real pain, i was excited to know I could Q stuff and view later but to have to re-enter code each time is nuts ....like now, my GF is watching the TV so I came on Y/T to find neat stuff to check out and now I find this out? another function I won't use now.
Thank you for asking this question it was really bugging me too. So I found the solution for it. I will be posting a video on it soon and I will update you when I do. Thanks again.

Good day, as promised here is the solution for this problem: ruclips.net/video/4XDDK8Hll_w/видео.html Thanks
Thanks for your great tips!
You are welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Finally! Now I don't even have to use a computer to be lazy!
Thank you very much Richard...your explanations were very helpful to me...thank you, again
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching.
How do you alphabetize your RUclips subscription list on the Roku? My list displays in random order and it's annoying.
I can not find any way to alphabetize the list. It seems to use the post date and time to sort the list. Sorry I could not help you further. Thanks for watching.
I don't understand how I can watch videos through my Roku that I have on my RUclips playlist. If I try to watch a whole series, it takes forever to go through all of the episodes to find the one I want. very very time consuming. Hoping there is a way to just add the videos I want to my RUclips playlist & then watch only those.
You can do exactly that but you have to do it on your computer on your RUclips account. You can make a smaller play list on your account and they play it on the Roku. Thanks.
OHHHH GLORY!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!GLORRYYY!!!!!!! THANK YOU GOD FOR ANSWERING MY PRAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!
You are most welcome. :)
hi, I cant get it for some reason. I go to search and type youtube but it doesn't give me the option, it doesn't even show on search. please help
I have another method to watch RUclips on Roku using the Plex channel. Here is the link : ruclips.net/video/lf2TKXJ7UtA/видео.html

I cannot cast videos from my playlists on GalaxyS4. A box comes up saying play all. I can cast videos from other sites but cannot get past my first video on my playlists. Do you know of a fix? Thanks.
Playlists appear to be an issue currently on the RUclips channel. I am sure they will fix it soon.
This does not work for me. When I enter ruclips.net/user/activate, I don't get what you get. I get a list of possible sites for RUclips, not the specific page for activation. Therefore, there is nowhere to enter the code.
Any help appreciated, because this seems to be maddeningly difficult.
You are going to the address on your computer? Do you have a RUclips account? Thanks.
When I put the code in and click on the "next" button my screen just freezes and doesn't go beyond this screen. I called Roku. They say it is a RUclips problem. They walked me through all the other steps. And when I go into display settings to select Roku stick and connect to wireless, it tells me my computer cannot connect to my wireless device. I just did a similar thing with PBS and put in a code for it to work, so I know it can work. It just does not seem to work with Roku. I am at a loss.
I have a roku-1 and I cannot get the youtube channel.
Thanks for the informative video. My problem is how to manipulate the menu on the right. When I searched for Taxi (the tv series) I got 4 episodes. After watching the 4 episodes, how do I get more episodes to watch. When I search I get the same 4 episodes. I'm sure there are more episodes of taxi out there. How can I either increase the results of the search to get more episodes? Thank you.
You can use the navigation keys or arrows left or right to cycle to the next episode. Try it while your current episode is playing. Thanks
Richard Lloyd I've tried using the left right keys on the Roku remote but there are only 3 or 4 episodes to pick from. I tried pairing up my TV using my pc but that didn't do anything. I created a subscription to CBS which allows mne to watch many of the episodes but when I click on the subscription button for the TV there are none listed. Using my computer there is one subscription - the one I created. The CBS channel does appear on the left side of the screen (the side where you have the settings highlighted above on your video) and I can use it to access the Taxi episodes but it doesn't appear in my subscriptions using Roku on my TV. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I can't figure it out.
Joe Drouse Sorry for your troubles but I am not having this issue on my Roku so it is hard to diagnose the problem. I would suggest that you contact Roku support and see if they have any suggestions. support.roku.com/entries/413244-contact-support
I have a Roku 2500X installed youtube as prescribed can't locate my channels on the menu. Has roku menu changed? is there a roku software update i need to look for. I bought the roku two years ago and kind of lost interest because it was not user friendly to this Luddite. Joined amazon prime video and it works fine on the Roku box. any suggestions
+Mellen West You may need to do a software update on your Roku. Go to settings you should see an option to do that there. Thanks.
+Richard Lloyd Updated and rebooted. Problem solved, Thanks
+Mellen West You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
I have a Roku XD and really do not want to upgrade how do I get to stream you tube? Do I really need to upgrade?
There are work around solutions. I made a video of one here: ruclips.net/video/lf2TKXJ7UtA/видео.html but it's really cumbersome and limited to what content it is allowed to stream. Unfortunately the RUclips app requires more processing power than the old devices have to work.
Here are the current players the youtube channel works with: *Current generation players are those introduced after July 2011 and include the Roku LT, Roku 1, Roku 2, Roku 2 HD, Roku 2 XD, Roku 2XS, Roku 3, the Roku Streaming Stick (both HDMI and Roku Ready versions) and the Roku HD model #2500. if you have an HDMI port on your TV you can buy a Roku streaming stick at Amazon for $48.99 :amzn.to/1vId6hC or a Roku 1 for $39.99: amzn.to/1K9RTb4 I think they are well worth the money just to get the youtube channel. I use youtube channel all the time but it is a matter of how much you value the feature. Here is a video on the Roku Streaming Stick 3500R: ruclips.net/video/jEukkEbjeS8/видео.html Thanks
When I type in youtube it does not show youtube where I can go to add as a channel except it tells me different things on youtube
Are you connected to the Internet? Thanks.
I need help in streaming youtube on my roku. I have been using youtube and all of the sudden it does not come on
Have you removed and reinstalled the RUclips channel? Thanks.
And what about Skype ?
Is there an app ?
Sorry but currently there is no Skype app.
Got it working. Not sure what I did. restarted computer, I guess. And re-installed Plex Media server. Already watched 5th Gear on big TV. Of course, would have been nice to browse RUclips straight off Roku, but mine is Roku 2, not RUclips supported, and I can not get Roku 3 as it requires HD Tv set. Mine is 11 yo Sharp. HD is still in plans.
So, does it work with Ruku2?
Yes it does work with the Roku2 now.
So it wont work with the one o have?
Currently only works on Roku 3 but they will release it for the other Roku's in the near future. Try this as a work around : ruclips.net/video/lf2TKXJ7UtA/видео.html
Roku 3 has 'accepted my TV connection with you tube. Why do I have to enter numbers under you tube/pair EVERY time. Once accepted, I should be able to go to you tube and have the icon to show through the TV. How can I do this?
I have the same issue on my laptop too. I believe it's a bug. Please contact Roku support for a solution. Update us please if you get one. Thanks.
They updated the ROKU BOX!! I can stream RUclips NOW!!! For those who have the ROKU XS and the ROKU LT YAYYYYYY!!!!!! PLEASE CHECK YOUR UPDATES!!! mines was done AUTOMATICALLY!! I was not going to buy a ROKU 3 just to get RUclips! I am so glad i waited!!
Great! There is a new kid on the Roku block. It is almost as good as a Roku3 and it only costs $49.99 Check it out here ruclips.net/video/jEukkEbjeS8/видео.html
Exactly! I like it because you can use your device like a remote, i can be in my computer room on youtube and click on a video and pow its on my tv too and plus its quicker lol
Can you please please please help me figure out why I do not see my Roku 3 RUclips Playlist when I go to show more like you do in your video. The only options showing are Uploads for this Channel, Related Videos, Now Playing. What am I doing wrong?
I tried this again on my Roku. I did exactly the same thing again with the same video and I can not get the play list option. They must have taken the feature off. I am sure they will put it back in the future as it is a handy thing to have. Probably they had some technical issues with it. Thanks for watching.
I recently bought a Roku 3 and I am unable to add new channels :((( , any idea?
Follow this video to set up your Roku and see if that helps: ruclips.net/video/ENvpWMPo5z8/видео.html
should i buy a roku is it good
Does the RUclips channel on Roku auto upscale videos to HD? My RUclips app on a smart tv I own doesn't seem seem to do this.
Ken Gevon Yes it does. I tried some of my videos as the majority are in 1080P except the early ones I made and they stream crystal clear and sharp but I could not get more than 1280x720 on it but I do get that consistently. This was on my 3500R streaming stick and the Roku 3. Thanks
Gbu & gracias amigo!!...I been trying to enter this code like for ever!!....I LUV YATUBE!!, great video!!, ya keep it up now!!.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
is this avaible now on the roku 2 or do i need to but the roku 3
It is available for current generation players, which are those introduced after June 2011 and include the Roku LT, Roku 1, Roku 2, Roku 2 HD, Roku 2 XD, Roku 2XS, Roku 3, the Roku Streaming Stick (both HDMI and Roku Ready versions) and the Roku HD model #2500.
Something has gone wrong with the RUclips app after the upgrade.
I'm finding myself logging in daily after the app kicks me out - sometime in the middle of a video.
I get a sign in error and never had this issue before.
I uninstalled and app, restarted Roku 3 and reinstalled.
No change. It still kicks me out at random times. It's definitely a glitch in the app.
My internet connection is fast and solid at 150 mbps.
I have to keep a bookmark on my PC to ruclips.net/user/activate.
This app has been updated. Here is my video on the new app: ruclips.net/video/J2yS3ltVQxU/видео.html
Richard Lloyd Thanks, but there's still a bug with app logging out users.
Here's a some complaining on Amazon I ran accross.
www.amazon.com/forum/roku?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx1Y5GBX0V7G7ZS&cdThread=Tx29843Z5NV83K6
I had a couple incidences pf being kicked out in the middle of viewing videos.
Other times scrolling my favorites.
I had the app first day and never had this issue until this upgrade.
To have to go to a PC to log back in is annoying.
Nowhereman RUclips app was better in that it allowed me to get my favorites and rewind and fast forward.
It's barebones but works.
Lee Cochran I had a similar problem but I am not sure if this is the same problem. Here is my fix for it. I will have to test the app further. Thanks. BTW if you find a solution or my solution works please advise us. ruclips.net/video/4XDDK8Hll_w/видео.html
The RUclips channel does not come up on my Roku, did they take it off already?! It says no search results when I type youtube in :(

Richard Lloyd Roku2, guess I'll have to wait.
Janette Howard Sounds like it's time for an upgrade. Seriously the Roku3 is much faster. I upgraded to it and I am very impressed with it's performance and the RUclips channel is the icing on the cake. If you decide to go for it here is a link for it @ Amazon : amzn.to/13GzQqr
Janette Howard if i was you i would just wait. Its not worth it to buy a whole new Roku just to get youtube. There's not that big of a differance from the roku 2 to the roku 3 speed wise. My friend has the 3 and i have the 1 and i cant tell the differance. :)
yoooooooooooitsme Roku has promised RUclips on other than Roku3 sometime this year: UPDATE FROM ROKU 12/23/13: Since announcing RUclips availability on Roku 3 last week, we've received feedback from many customers.

i have both the 3500 and a 3600 and the yt app on the 3600 is much better, why the difference? the app version on each is identical, doesn't make any sense.
Have you updated the versions on both devices? Thanks.
How do you get nowhere TV?
It's a private channel. Here is a link for it www.rokuchannels.tv/nowheretv/

My father is interested in accessing either free game show episodes at CBS.com or using the low monthly subscription to "CBS All Access" to view "The Price is Right". I haven't been able to find available directly on either the Roku or it's competitors. Could I set up his Plex on my computer at a separate address and link it to his Roku account and have him be able to watch that from his Roku (connected to his dad's TV, as he doesn't have a computer)? And/or do you have any other suggestions for accomplishing this? :) FYI: He shares the Internet the Internet with his room-mate, but they don't share his TV or the Computer.
There is a CBS channel for the Roku but I don't think it has full Price is right shows, it looks like all clips. There is a Plex channel for Roku that allows you access a Plex server. Try it and see if it will work for you.
why does roku make it so hard to activate their code?
Not sure what you mean. I had no problem with mine. Did you get it done or where are you having difficulties.
why didnt roku tell me about this 3 years ago, or at least some time durring the last 3 years?
No idea, but I LOVE the feature. Thanks.
I just found it today so I am way behind the times I can watch placebo on the big tv not that my moniter was smaill it is 28 inches but 55 is much better I'm going to put everything on there cheers
youtube doesn't show up in the right column when i type it.

YIoutube was working fine on my new Roku3 for the past month. But today theon screen went black for RUclips and I only have RUclips sound now.'
Any suggestion on how to solve this?
would you happen to know how to sign OUT on ruko? I can't find any sign out or switch account options in the menu on my tv.
MajorBrons If we are talking about the RUclips channel on Roku, you need to scroll all the way to the left of the screen until you get the red menu they scroll down to the very bottom and choose settings. In settings you will see a sign out option. Thanks.
I am, I thought I tried that, but maybe I missed something. I'll give that a try. Thanks man.
MajorBrons You're welcome.
Is there a setting to make it play in HD on roku?
Ok. Thanks!
cant get it on Roku 2, still useing Plex

How much does it cost
Roku 3 at Amazon: amzn.to/13GzQqr $99 The RUclips Channel is free.
Im having a problem with youtube on my tcl roku tv. I try to go to youtube and i get a message telling me cant run channel. could not be reinstalled from the network. anybody know what this means?
You are going to the address on your computer? Do you have a RUclips account? Thanks.
Can u like videos from ur roku??
Yes you can like RUclips video's on the Roku. You bring up the player controls (hit OK button on the remote while video is playing) and choose more... and then you get the option to like the video.
Ty!! After I asked u, I heard u mention it in the video. I'm so excited to try it, I just purchased the 3 last night & look forward to RUclips & Netflix! Thanks for making this video! :-)
***** That's great. I am sure you will enjoy it. Thanks for watching.
Can't find it on Roku 1. I'm sad
It typed it in and nothing poped up.
Most likely you don't have a Roku 3.
UPDATE FROM ROKU 12/23/13: Since announcing RUclips availability on Roku 3 last week, we've received feedback from many customers. While most were excited to see the update, some were disappointed to find that their Roku players were not supported. We'd like to stress that it is a priority for us to make RUclips available on more Roku devices next year - including Roku 2, Roku 1 and Roku LT players. It will not be available for the oldest models (introduced prior to 2011).
I searched "youtube" but it does not have cool youtube icon anymore. Today is 9/1/2016. Any thoughts?
I am not sure what you are referring to. My youtube channel still works great. Thanks
Does anyone know how to fast forward youtube videos using the roku remote? I'm not talking about the single button press 10 second fast forward feature, but how to stream fast forward the videos?
They have updated the channel. Watch this video ruclips.net/video/J2yS3ltVQxU/видео.html I go through the features there. Thanks.
Richard Lloyd Watched the entire 7+ minute video and you say NOTHING about fast forward as was the question. Thanks for what you do, but that was infuriating.
Richard Lloyd I searched the link and it explains nothing about fast forwarding. Other than using the Roku remote, I have to continuously hit the fast forward button to fast forward youtube vids. Not much of a convenience, but still works.
Southern Oracle If you pair it with your computer, tablet or smartphone you can use it to fast forward too. Thanks
Richard, Thank U so very, very, much!!!! I was using a Bing browser&absolutely would not work. U need to use a Google browser&sign in to Ur google account, a fact they seem to have left out! Up&running thanx to U😘
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching, the kind comments and the great feedback. All the best.
Roku 3 doesnt show on my win 8.1 pc for mirroring in "add a device". It works fine w my cell phone but it doesnt show up on my pc.
Nednerbish Did it use to work at one time? Thanks
Richard Lloyd No its never shown up on my pc. I just bought it from best buy last week. The mirascreen works fine w my cell phone and my cell shows up in my "add a device" on my pc. But for some reason the roku doesnt.
Nednerbish Here is a video I made about mirroring using the Roku ruclips.net/video/BUrERYQ8ojE/видео.html Here is a list of compatible devices: support.roku.com/entries/56698214-Roku-screen-mirroring-compatible-devices if your computer is not listed that is probably the reason. Thanks
Pre-Roku 3 devices can also use the Roku RUclips app (now). Resolution is terrible though. Also menu responsiveness is sluggish at best. Sticking with my work around for now, thank you.
What workaround are you using?
Got 2.
Have Plex installed on my PC (also if I don't want to hear the PC running / use my Media Server I use the custom bookmark which queues the video so the Plex app on the Roku have a pointer to the original video).
Also on my IPod I installed Twonky Beam so I can directly send a video from my IOS device to the Roku (if I am not on my PC at the time and don't feel like turning the PC on just so I can watch a RUclips video on my TV).
Richard Lloyd Although I am pretty sure (at least hope) the RUclips app will eventually be updated so us Roku 2 XD users can enjoy HD videos. Also verified this by looking at a video where a lady was wearing jewelry (SD is far easier to see side by side compared to HDon this video).
geribaldi2 Cool. I made a video on using plex on the Roku but I am finding that there are copyright blocks on a lot of RUclips videos that the RUclips channel does not suffer from. Here is that video : ruclips.net/video/Q23hwXig_qU/видео.html Also I know some people will resent having to do this but you can get a Roku Streaming Stick 3500R for $49.99 which is almost as fast as a Roku 3 and has HD on the RUclips channel as well as the new interface for Netflix. ruclips.net/video/sLcbQS1mWvg/видео.html
You have to understand that processing power doubles every 8 months and that technology moves forward at a fast pace. We don't expect 3 year old laptops to keep up with new ones for example. I own a Roku 3 and the Roku Streaming Stick 3500R and love them both. I am sure sometime in the future a new device Roku or not will be released that will make both my Roku's look prehistoric. At that point I will have to decide if it is worth purchasing the upgrade. At $49.99 I don't see a down side on the Roku Streaming Stick 3500. Thanks for your comments and watching.
Since this post there has been updates (and I have learned quality also depends on your connection). I have since attached my Roku 3 to my 5gh network and video playback is worlds better. Also unlike the Roku2 which did not have the CPU horsepower necessary the RUclips app is alot better is responsiveness.
My RUclips channel no longer works on my Roku 3. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling-to no avail. It says it's installed at 100%, but then the RUclips app no longer appears. Any suggestions?
+Katrina Belcher Try a factory reset. But understand that will wipe all your settings and I believe the passwords too. Basically you will be back to the day you got it out of the box. Thanks.
Thanks finally I watch my movie without using my computer or kill my phone battery with the hdmi cable
Won't work on Roku LT. :>(

Thank you for the update! Looking forward to that.
Can anyone tell me how to use a space option on Roku 3 when searching for something that has more than one word?????
Thank U so much!! Great video!! Great Teaching!!
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching and the kind comment.
I am new to Roku and was mostly looking forward to streaming RUclips to my TV. So I was **SHOCKED** to see how terrible the app is!!! You want us to punch in letter-by-letter on a string of alphabet characters!!! There is no excuse for something that technologically backward! PLEASE FIX!
There are several ways to queue RUclips videos. You can use the Roku app on your smart phone that you can actually speak to, to do searches. You can pair your Roku with your laptop, Iphone, Ipad, Android device and pair it to the RUclips app on your phone as well and queue them up that way. I am sure that there are other ways as well to use this feature that I am not aware of. Thanks for watching.
this is really helpful thank you so much
You are welcome. Thanks for watching and the kind comment.
