About Juice for Roku DEMO
This is the DEMO version of Juice for Roku. It has all the features of the paid version, but only lets you send the first song or photo in the list to your Roku, and does not include the widget..
It is strongly recommended that you try the DEMO version first to make sure everything works before buying the paid version. If you have problems connecting, read info in the Help menu or send an email to gregg.reno@jigawattlabs.com
Note: For the app to work, you must install the Juice channel on your Roku by going here: https://owner.roku.com/add/juice. Also note that if you have a router with two channels (regular and guest), your Roku and your Android device must be connected to the same channel.
Juice for Roku lets you to stream media directly from your Android device to your Roku player: No need for a separate server!
Does NOT support YouTube and flash based videos, and does not support Google Music. Also note that videos in any format other than MP4 are unlikely to play. See here: http://support.roku.com/entries/423946-what-media-file-types-does-the-roku-usb-media-player-channel-support. ALSO - the Roku doesn't support videos taken in portrait mode.
- Send photos, music, videos from your Android device
- Send media from the internet to the Roku using the Share functionality or audio and video podcasts (feeds)
- Send individual photos or send a complete slide show
- Send individual songs or whole albums to the Roku. Songs can be shuffled.
- Background Juice service will continue to serve files to the Roku while you use other Android apps
- Use the “Share” menu from the gallery, browser and other supported apps to send media to the Roku without having to launch the Juice app
- NEW - SHOWBOX SUPPORT. Send downloaded ShowBox videos to your Roku by going to the Videos tab and selecting the "show_box" folder. Does not work with streamed Showbox videos.
- No need for a home media server
- No need for cables
- No need to upload your files to a web server
- Fully functional remote control included with the same functionality as the Roku Remote app (sold separately)
One of the best things about this app is it's ability to work with other apps. For example, long press a link to a photo, song or video in the browser and share it to the Juice app to start it playing on the Roku. Or long press an episode in your Podcast app and share it to Juice to hear it through your Roku connected system. With the share feature, you can stream almost anything on the internet to the Roku, in addition to streaming what is already on your Android device.
Requirements:
- You must add the Juice channel to your Roku (https://owner.roku.com/add/juice)
- Android device and Roku player must be on the same network
- Plugging your Android device into your computer may prevent the app from accessing the SD card. In general, don't have plug your Android device into the computer when using the app. Charging is OK.
- Not all video formats are supported by the Roku. See the supported formats here: http://support.roku.com/entries/423946-what-media-file-types-does-the-roku-usb-media-player-channel-support
- Some MP4s created on Android devices may not work since Roku doesn't support all codecs. It depends on the Android device. Also, the Roku doesn't support videos taken in portrait mode.
Troubleshooting:
- If you notice lag or unresponsiveness, power off your android device and/or the Roku and try again. This resolves nearly all connectivity issues. You should only have to do this infrequently.

The app says it will allow you to send your first video to your Roku from your phone then you need to buy the Pro version. Yet, every time that I click my first video I just get the annoying popup telling me off this restriction again. I have never used the app before. So, I really cannot demo this app. This flaw doesn't bode well in me wanting to buy the Pro version.

Won't find my Roku 3 using the demo version on my LG G2. Paid version on my Kindle Fire HDX works fine. What a let down.

Why? Cause the scanning feature skips my roku XS (2gen) device an forcing me input it myself thought I already know it but to have a app that can't find it is just stupid! Dam lazy Dev. team, lol. An also not all feature work cause its limited but my issue that the ruko remote option on some of the buttons Don't work like the "return (back button), home, rewind, forward, play, info (!), search and refresh (that weird circle arrow button)".

If you don't want to pay. Dont bother with this app. It'll let you play one song then the app is useless untill they get hold of your credit card. Get your aux cord, wireless mirroring function and do it the old fashioned way. I infact will prob throw money in their face cus All IVE TRYING TO DO IS CUT THE CORD.

I see the picture, but the video isn't streaming. If the free version doesn't work for me I sure as hell ain't paying for the full version.

For me the feed tab within the app works best. Although i wish this app would resume from where i left off. If i exit unfinshed podcasts and return later. It just starts over from beginning. Music tab works inconsistently. Seems to have a difficult time with "play all" for music. Photo and video mostly works. My hope is more updates will come to this app in time. No issue talking to roku. Please push more updates so this app has better overall performance. Its a good start, but please make it better.

Cuts out every few seconds. If you're gonna design and release a demo, make sure it works properly. CHROMECAST FTW.

For my purposes, if falls short in a big way and a small way: 1) It doesn't allow me to stream podcasts using my podcast manager. (Asking me for a podcast URL is just silly, since I don't generally have them memorized, and anyhow, I usually have them downloaded.) 2) Doesn't seem to handle Google Music. (Not that critical, because Google music has too many issues to be my main music source.) I'm sure for other use cases it works fine, but for me, there is no apparent value and it will be uninstalled shortly. --- A year later: Same issues. I don't want to re-download the podcast, I want to stream from my existing podcast player. I assume this is probably an issue with the Android APIs -- that, by design, there is no way to hook audio playback and stream it instead. But that's what I want.

First I think you mean the following in the requirements: SD card must BE mounted while playing media from that SD card. This is so amazing thank you for making this and adding the UK roku channel.
