prakritjay 0 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I want to get a streaming stick, and have been looking at the Roku Stick+. However, I live in a country not officially supported by Roku (Product not officially sold here). Is the Emby app available worldwide? If not, there is no point getting the device. thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37006 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Hi, yes, although I don't know how if that will work or not. For example, I don't know if Roku has any region detection/blocking that might prevent you from being able to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 If I remember correctly it doesn't work without help. If you run it behind a VPN so you appear to be in a supported country that the device was sold for it does work. You might want to pickup an Android TV device instead. Feel free to ask for suggestions in the hardware section of the site https://emby.media/community/index.php?/forum/168-hardware/ You might also want to read this thread for ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prakritjay 0 Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 Thanks @Luke. Has Emby put any restriction when putting up the channel on the Channel Store for georestrictions? Or did you enable it for all countries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 It is enabled for all regions that they support. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speechles 1917 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) You will have to register your device in a region Roku does support using a VPN and use a router that supports that VPN that the Roku is routed through. That is the only way to accomplish this. The most applications are hosted on the US Roku store. The UK Roku store has the second highest application count. https://community.roku.com/t5/Accounts-Billing-Orders/Does-Roku-need-to-be-region-set/td-p/471736 Edited July 29, 2020 by speechles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prakritjay 0 Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 But is the Emby app only available on the US and UK store, or on every store? Because if it's on every store, like @ebr said, then I shouldn't have an issue right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speechles 1917 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) The problem is Roku isn't available in every country. If Roku is not available in your country you will not have a Roku store. You cannot register a Roku from an IP address in your country unless Roku has a presence there. What country are you in? Emby is available on Roku for every region Roku supports. For regions not supported you must register your Roku in a country that is supported. Edited July 29, 2020 by speechles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
