Who or what are you trying to stream this movie to?

If you're in the United States this is definitely illegal. Other countries, I'm not so sure about copyright laws, but I doubt it's legal, either.

I don't understand the reply, so you can see the shared folder but nothing underneath it? Are the movies in subfolders? Did you check to make sure the movie format will play on the Roku? Try putting a movie in the root of the shared folder the Roku does see.
