The [Roku](http://www.roku.com/) media players will be automatically discovered if you enable the [discovery component](/components/discovery/).

The `roku` media player platform can also be forced to load by adding the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
  - platform: roku
```

Configuration variables:

- **host** (*Optional*): Use only if you don't want to scan for devices.
