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!
Hey, Spaceduarte and ChairmanMAO.
We're glad you're here!
When did you start noticing this issue? Also, are there any recent updates before this happened? Lastly, is this happening on all apps or only on a specific app?
Please get back to us soon!
