Roku adds music and video sharing to app

Over-the-top TV streaming device provider Roku has updated its app to enable users to stream music playlists and photos from iPhones and Android devices to the TV.

The new Play on Roku feature also offers improved device discovery, the ability to launch channels using voice commands on Android devices and the option to give unique names to multiple Roku players. The app is available in the UK, Ireland and Canada.

Play on Roku works with all Roku 2 models, the current-generation Roku HD player, and Roku LT and will be compatible with the upcoming Roku Streaming Stick.
