How to Jailbreak Roku Stick (Can You?)

I have seen many peoples searching for JailBreak Roku or “How to jailbreak a Roku stick.”. Roku is not based on Android or any other Linux operating system, so you can not Jailbreak it or modify the OS to remove restrictions imposed by Roku.  So, If you are searching for terms like “can you jailbreak a Roku,” then the answer is “No, You Can Not.”. If you also searched for this term, then I think you want to stream Pirated Content directly on your Roku. Sadly there is no way to do that directly, but you can install Kodi on PC or mobile, then you can cast the screen to Roku Box. You can not directly install Kodi on Roku, but casting the screen can do the work. If you have a TV with two or more HDMI ports, then you can also buy Firestick and put it on a second HDMI Slot. I have written a simple guide on how to install Kodi on Firestick or Fire TV.

Why Installing Kodi Roku is not the best Idea.

Roku is a first Streaming device, and that’s why many people trust and Buy it. Even though it can not run Kodi and other Android apps, but it completes the job of entertainment. You can stream pretty much anything on Roku except Torrent. Using is Torrent illegal in many countries like the US, UK, and if you are from these countries, be careful and use any Good VPN service to protect yourself from Police.

The best part of Roku is that it contains all the major TV series, and movies and all of them are legal, so no tension of Police while Kodi officially doesn’t support Torrent. Still, Third-party developers make Torrent add-ons, and if you use them, then it can lead you to Police. So, If you are using Roku, then you are safe.

Other than this, Kodi is not at all stable, many sources on Kodi do not work correctly. You will face many issues and errors while running Kodi, which is annoying while watching movies and TV series. Official apps are very less. Only major apps are supported on Kodi officially.

Channels You Can Watch For Free on Roku.

Now, this is my favorite feature of Roku, and I like this feature you can watch many popular channels like Fox, History and many free channels. You need a good Internet connection, and you can enjoy 4k, full HD content for free. So, If you are thinking of buying a Roku, then you should check the list of open channels.
Click on Top Free channels, and then you can see all free content that comes with your Roku device. Youtube is on top of this list.

Plex VS Kodi (Plex is supported on Roku devices).

Kodi and Plex are the two best available media player software for Home theater PC. Both are the same software except their features and customization. If you are reading this post, then it means you use a Roku, and you can use the only Plex on Roku, so don’t think much about install Kodi for Roku and start using Plex. But if you are thinking of buying a Roku device, then you should read this part.

Pros and Cons of Kodi.

The ability to Install Addons is the most attractive feature of Kodi. You can customize the looks of Kodi using add-ons. It is like an Android ecosystem; you can install many types of add-ons that will help you to customize it as Kodi is an open-source project so anyone can build add-ons. That’s why the add-on market is unregulated, and you can easily find illegal add-ons to stream Pirated content. But you need to be technically suitable to setup add-ons, and other features and many add-ons do not work correctly, so it is a significant downside of Kodi.
The best thing about Kodi is that it is free, You need hardware like a primary PC, HTPC, Amazon Fire TV, or  Raspberry PI, and then you can use it for free without spending anyone.

The main problem of Kodi is that streaming Kodi content is tough. While Kodi is open source, it is not polished when compared to Plex. Plex feels much better while using it. The UI of Plex is much better, and the user interface is also better on Plex.

Pros and Cons of Plex.

Plex is a part of Kodi only. Some codes of Kodi comes from XBMC 2008 (Previously Kodi was called XBMC). After changing the path, Plex decided to be more user-friendly, and it is not open source. So, the Owner of Plex has excellent control over their product, and you can not install Pirated stuff on Plex, and customization is not that easy on Plex.
The cool feature of Plex is that you set up the Main server (It can be your Desktop, Laptop), and then you enjoy your content on many devices like Mobile, Tablet, Laptop, Smart Tv and Streaming devices like Roku, firestick, etc.

The primary feature of Plex is file sharing and multi-platform support, and you can install Plex on many devices. The paid feature of Plex is excellent as you know that we set up servers and stream content from it. The paid version sync your Media library with the cloud server. So, You can stream your media from anywhere in the world if you have a good Internet connection.

Plex is less customizable, and free Live TV is less on Plex. The best feature of Plex is paid while Kodi is entirely free.

Top Features of Kodi that Make It Awesome.

Kodi is famous because of the Content provided by it. It is an open-source project, and people are allowed to add more content to the system using Addons. This is why Kodi has content from the whole world. You can Live stream content of many countries like India, Dubai, etc.

Another great use of Kodi is to stream content from Torrent to directly on your TV. With the help of some Torrent add-ons, you can instantly stream Torrent content. These add-ons are built and maintained by third-party developers, and it is not legal to use them. Many Roku users want to use these add-ons.

It is recommended to use a good quality VPN if you are using Kodi in countries like the US. The support of torrent content is the reason for the success of Kodi.
