Introducing Roku 3 13 years ago

I have a Roku and like it but really wish it had better support for playing off of USB and network shares - this is the one reason I still use my WDTV Live as often as I do. Oh, not to mention the WDTV supports every format under the sun and streams my 3DTV with zero issues too.

I know there is a USB app for Roku but it sucks and doesn't work consistently.

I know I could use Plex to retrieve files from my shares but I don't care for navigation in this app much.

Anyway, glad to see Roku continues to make nice updates, I just wish there was a single solution at this point.

One of the benefits of entering late is they're able to learn from the competitions missteps.

Yeah, I spotted that too, it's interesting that this service puts the focus on coordination + orchestration with additional app servers versus leveraging existing AWS services.

I believe the general intent of this is to enable users using non-AWS services (yes, I know that's redundant) to more efficiently work with outside apps on Amazon - the example in their Layers guide is specific to Redis for example. (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/opsworks/latest/userguide/working...).

So this service basically says - "Just because we don't have a Redis Amazon Service for you to snap into doesn't mean you should not use AWS or look to other PaaS, instead, easily integrate other apps with OpsWorks."

I'd say it's generally never too early, it all depends on how you frame things.

You can get some good early feedback and validation on what you're working on and trying to solve and then also try to bring them in as an early adopter once you have something ready to market.
