The records for the Rokus are now in V-Smart, and discoverable.
What is a Roku?
It's a media player that streams select, library owned movies to a TV. To use it, you will need a TV with either RCA (yellow, white, and red) connectors or an HDMI connection, and high speed internet with WiFi. These devices have access to around 150 various movies and a few TV shows, and will circulate for 7 days with 1 renewal (if there are no holds).
What comes with it?
Each Roku includes: 1 Roku with power supply, 1 remote with batteries, 1 RCA cable, 1 HDMI cable, and instruction on how to use it.
Are movies pre-loaded on the device?
No. The rokus are linked to accounts that are controlled by KPL, and all content is streamed to it over the internet. KPL is unable to see what has been watched on the devices. If a device is stolen KPL can remotely wipe it, thus preventing any of our content from streaming to it.
Does each Roku have the same content?
Each Roku account has access to different content. The movies and TV shows that they are connected to are from the digital codes that come with some of our Blu-rays and DVDs. Thanks to Joe and the Tech Guides, these codes were able to go to good use. While some content will overlap, each record will show what is available on each device.
What apps are preloaded?
The main video app to use is called CinemaNow, Disney films can be found under the Disney Anytime app, and both PBS and PBS Kids apps are available.
Can I add my own Netflix or Hulu account to this?
Not at this time. We are doing this for the patron's privacy. If a patron were to load their own account information onto a Roku and forget to remove it, then the next person to check it out would also have access to that account. If a patron tries to add any other apps onto the Roku, they will be asked to enter a security password.
