WORKS WITH

Roku TV and players

Roku OS devices with Developer Mode. Your TV and Windows PC must share the same home network during setup.

HOW IT INSTALLS

PC to Roku over Wi-Fi

Roku's official Development Application Installer. No rooting, USB stick, or hardware changes.

AFTER SETUP

Your PC can turn off

FilmDeck runs on the Roku. The computer is needed only when installing an update.

INSTALL FILMDECK

Six short steps.
Then use the remote.

Start on a Windows PC. Keep this page open on your phone while using the Roku remote.

Before starting: installing FilmDeck replaces any other sideloaded developer app on this Roku. Normal Channel Store apps stay untouched.

01

Download and open the setup

  1. Click Download Roku setup above and save the ZIP.
  2. Right-click the ZIP, choose Extract All, then open the extracted folder.
  3. Double-click Start-Setup.cmd. Windows may ask you to confirm a downloaded script. The readable PowerShell file is included beside it.

Keep the extracted folder together. The helper verifies the FilmDeck app before it can upload anything.

02

Open Roku Developer Mode

  1. On the Roku remote, press Home 3 times, Up 2 times, then Right, Left, Right, Left, Right.
  2. The Developer Settings screen appears. Write down the IP address shown on the TV.
  3. Select Enable installer and restart. Read and accept Roku's Developer Tools License Agreement.

If the screen does not appear, return to the Roku Home screen and enter the sequence steadily.

03

Create the Roku developer password

  1. After the restart, enter a password on the TV when Roku asks.
  2. Remember the exact capitalization. The username is always rokudev.
  3. Wait for the Roku Home screen to return.

This password stays on your Roku. FilmDeck's helper uses it for one local upload and does not save it.

04

Connect the Windows helper

  1. Enter the Roku IP from the TV, such as 192.168.1.50.
  2. Enter the developer password you created.
  3. Choose Install FilmDeck. Keep the Roku and PC on the same home network while it uploads.

Guest Wi-Fi often blocks devices from seeing one another. Use the main home network on both devices.

05

Let FilmDeck launch

  1. The helper reports Install Success.
  2. FilmDeck opens automatically on the TV. If it does not, open the FilmDeck developer channel from Roku Home.
  3. Create or choose a profile. Each profile keeps its own viewing progress and recommendations.

Roku permits one sideloaded developer app at a time. Installing another developer ZIP later replaces FilmDeck.

06

Test one film and one episode

  1. Open a film and press Play. Confirm picture and sound.
  2. Open a series. Seasons and episodes appear directly on the details screen.
  3. Play part of an episode, go back, then confirm its progress bar appears.

Setup is finished. The PC can disconnect or shut down.

LIVING WITH FILMDECK

Designed to disappear into movie night.

Profiles first

FilmDeck opens on the profile selector so viewing history never mixes between people.

Progress everywhere

Resume films and episodes from their saved position. Episode bars show what each profile watched.

Simple updates

Download the newest setup and install it over FilmDeck. Ordinary updates keep the Roku's saved app data.

SETUP HELP

  1. On the Windows PC, open http://YOUR_ROKU_IP.
  2. Sign in with username rokudev and your developer password.
  3. Choose Upload, select FilmDeck.zip from the extracted download, then choose Install.

Read Roku's official developer setup guide.

What is inside the download?

The ZIP contains the native Roku app, a readable Windows setup helper, this guide for offline use, and SHA-256 checksums. It contains no account, API key, stored password, remote access tool, or background service.

Updates, profiles, and removal

Install a newer FilmDeck package the same way. Do not uninstall first. An ordinary replacement keeps Roku registry data, including profiles and progress. A factory reset, app deletion, or Developer Mode reset may remove it.

To remove FilmDeck, install another developer app or use Roku's developer installer. Channel Store apps are separate.

Which Roku devices work?

The app is built for Roku OS televisions and streaming players that allow Developer Mode. Older or low-memory models may browse more slowly. Playback also depends on the source format and the Roku model's codec support.
