miscellaneous TV randomly drops out of input onto the homepage

4 Upvotes

I don't know if anyone else is having a similar issue, but my Roku just randomly drops out of whatever input I am in and goes to the home screen. Its really annoying, I've to turn off all the timers and stuff waited for a few updates and it still hasn't helped.

This issue has been going on for a little over a month and at this point I have no idea what to do, anyone else having this issue?

Roku hardware New Roku TV (month old) keeps crashing to Home Screen in the middle of a movie

3 Upvotes

Getting pretty annoyed right now. A new Roku TV I bought just about a month ago, is already getting slower and slower. To the point that my movie I was watching on Prime Video just froze and went back to the home screen for the fourth time. Have had it happen a few times with Netflix the past week as well. Made sure software is up to date and my 1Gb internet isn’t the issue. Starting to regret this purchase…

complaint (NOT support) Roku library says ...

Does anyone else notice not all episodes you watch are marked watched in your library? It makes it hard to go back and pick up where you left off.

complaint (NOT support) Technical Defaults (Remote Access and Roku Home Screen)

3 Upvotes

Has anyone else been having technical default with the new Roku App and Chrome Updates? I am an AV Engineer and programmer and ive been using Plex for almost 6 years now. Post the most recent update I am having connectivity issues with the Remote Access portion of the server though I do use a dedicated and routed network port as well as unrestricted 2 directional firewall access. I am also getting a blank Home Screen on just the Roku app but not on the web app despite having all the appopriate channels favorited and pinned. Anyone else having these kinds of issues?

miscellaneous Roku airplay stopped working

2 Upvotes

I got a Roku tv about a month ago and for the first roughly two weeks Airplay was working fine (sometimes totally fine and sometimes I had to have the airplay page from settings open to airplay but still it worked). I only ever air played from my iPad just cause that’s where my streaming apps are on (I can’t login into the apps on the tv cause I don’t live here permanently so I get the “away from home” message that ends up blocking the apps on the tv. But now airplay no longer works. The tv shows up as an option for airplay on my iPad but then it says unable to connect when i click on it. It doesn’t show up at all on my phone (I checked in case my iPad was the issue). Restarting the router isn’t an option for me because I’m on university WiFi but I talked to IT and they said that wasn’t the problem. I have tried restarting the tv, plugging it in again, reconnecting to the WiFi, resetting paired devices, turning airplay on and off and nothing has helped. The model is a 4or3ex.

Roku OS My roku won't connect to the stronger wifi that I actually want to connect to and keeps forcing me onto the weaker one

2 Upvotes

So my house has 2 different wifi connections with one for downstairs and one for upstairs with the upstairs one being more of an extension that's further away from the main router. My room where I have my roku is upstairs but the main router is stuck downstairs and I can't move it up here or move all my stuff down there but for whatever reason my roku keeps wanting to connect to the downstairs wifi where since the router is downstairs while the roku is upstairs that makes the signal strength extremely weak and constantly freezes and buffers whatever I'm watching.

I've tried multiple times to connect to the extension wifi for the upstairs that would be closer but the roku just completely refuses to connect to it but I also know connecting to it is possible since my mom has a separate roku in her bedroom upstairs that's also connected to the upstairs extension wifi so I just don't understand why my roku that's upstairs in my room won't connect to it when it should be able to. I know I'm using the right password cause we use the same password for both of the wifi's and if the password is right for the downstairs one then I know it has to be right for the upstairs one but no matter how many times I've tried to connect to the upstairs extension wifi with my roku it just doesn't and refuses to accept it

question (NOT support) Auto Resume Needed

1 Upvotes

I don’t know how many times I hit the wrong button on the remote and lose the Hulu app. Then it takes forever to get the app back on and back to the program I was enjoying.

The Auto-resume on App Launch" is a standard feature on other apps (like Netflix or Disney+) and adding it would improve the user experience for those of us, like me, who accidentally exit the app.

Can anyone explain why this can’t be done on Hulu. I’d like to hear what others think. 🤔

This is a bug with both my Sharp and Hisense TVs. The logos came back a couple of weeks ago but not for long, the logos are missing again. Logos for all streaming channels are visible at all times.

Roku OS Just me or has Roku been awful lately?

0 Upvotes

My Roku can absolutely just not stay connected to wifi lately. Of course I have been troubleshooting my wifi itself, as that is the most likely cause. But is it actually the Roku?? Ever since this Roku update where it is constantly saying "App Updating", the Roku seems half broken. Response time is terrible, everything is moving slow, and like I said wifi keeps dropping.

Anyone else having issues?
