Umm, not sure what you mean by tricks exactly, but there is a Roku app for the iOS and the Android which allows you to use your device as a remote and playback music on that device to your Roku.
When all else fails, replace the user.

private channels might be what you're looking for...

there are no worthwhile hacks for a Roku that i know of...i'm happy with the way it is, plus a few channels. i use the Plex channel about 99% of the time.

i got back home yesterday and the brand new replacement was on my desk.
set it up on the tv. Had to go online and enter a new device code at roku.com/link. found me right away so there must be a cookie on my computer. what nice is all the channels I had loaded to my account came back. sadly do all the pass codes for the pay channels have to be enter again. so keep a log to save these extra steps if it happens again.
they did ship the replacement 2 day fedex. but im lucky it arrived as they just had my first name on the shipping lable and the spelling of my street was misspelled. i know for a fact i repeated the shipping info to the service tech a min of 3 times and spelled it letter for letter 2 of the 3 times ~
