I've even done a factory reset. So everything is brand new. Still the same frustration.
I have several Roku Ultras...and they have all begun exhibiting a really, really annoying behavior: if you try to fast forward, from any point in a show to any other point, you are returned to the start of the show.
Meaning the fast forward function is utter garbage.
Sometimes this problem can be resolved -- temporarily! -- by doing a software update or restarting the device. But it always reappears.
I'm not sure if this is streaming source specific or not. It seems to show up most frequently with Paramount Plus and Hulu, but I've seen it on most of the other streaming sources I use.
It sure would be nice if Roku could be bothered to fix this bug. Or at least stop selling remotes with fast forward buttons.
Seeing same problem! Random shows too. I tried factory reset. It fixed it for about two hours then happened again.
sorry to hear it's affecting others, but glad it's not just me and my setup.
I'll try system restart/reset and see if it helps.
What an annoying bug!
Ok here the real wiered part.
When it happens, if just let the show go for a few seconds then hit the back button to get out of the show. Wait for the little progress bar to show under the show icon. Hit resume and the it works!
Paramount Plus app on my Roku is jacked. If I try to skip a recap (or FF manually) it restarts the video at the beginning of the recap.
Only fix I've found is to restart the Roku device. This works temporarily, but often I have to repeat this again - if I pause too long between videos or use a different app. I'm not exactly sure what triggers it.
I WOULD try to uninstall and reinstall the P+ app, but for some moronic reason you have to unsubscribe from the service to be able to remove the app.
This is ridiculous and is not the case for other aps, like Netflix, for example.
Dors anyone know of a fix for either (or both) problem(s)?
Has Roku ever offered an explanation why they won't allow you to remove this app without first unsubbing?
Meh, maybe it's just time to stop using Roku ...
I have this exact problem on all my Roku devices. It makes the app almost unusual. The restart of the episode occurs whenever I try to skip intro, or fast forward, or rewind, or hit the back circle/arrow. It’s maddening. I’m going to go to the mattresses with support tomorrow. I’m at wits end. I’ve reinstalled, reset, rebooted and done everything I can imagine.
