IQIYI on roku

I can’t subscribe without being able to watch IQIYI on Roku. Please add IQIYI so we can watch on Roku. Works on Chromecast but very bad quality.

    Thanks for the post.

    For more information about that channel's availability on Roku devices, you'll need to inquire with the channel provider support directly. Many channels on Roku are developed and maintained by the channel provider themselves. 

    Thanks,
    Danny

      The app was there last week, but disappeared. Why was it removed?

      For some reason it demands a minimum of 140 characters, so this is just an addition to get my kudo added.

  • It seems that 90% of iQIYI shows require subscription unlike phone app and the variety shows do not have English subs.  Roku can do better by contacting them directly. Anybody have firestick and have access to other Asian streaming?

       Rakuten Viki is on Roku and they have allAsian content. Korean,Chinese, Japanese, Taiwan and I think Vietnam too. You can subscribe directly through the app on Roku. English subs are the best I have found. Hope this helps. 

      Also there is no way to subscribe to iQiyi through Roku. So disappointed.

        I find that I can not link my IQIYI account on my laptop to sign on to ROKU.  I also notice that much of what is on my laptop version of IQIYI is not on the ROKU version of IQIYI.  What is going on ?

  • So I just added IQIYI to Roku, however, everytime I try to log into the app it just returns me back to Roku Home menu. Anybody had the same issue?

      I am having issues with the IQIYI app on my Roku tv.  When I open the app, the screen flickers and when I choose a drama it takes me back to the Roku Home Screen.  I’ve always had issues with the app on Roku but I could at least watch a drama.

        Think the IQiyi Channel/app is just having some issues.  Couldn't get past spinning circle a couple of days ago when testing for another user - now get past spinning loading circle but crashing/return to home screen after selecting any content.  

        Looks like developers are making some progress with their fixes. (hopefully)

      Are you on a computer? I finally figured out my log-in to the VIP option on

      a desktop computer.

        I have VIP on both computer and ROKU now.  On ROKU I still do not have memory ( have to keep track of where I am in a movie or TV series myself ) and I have a much smaller number of movies and TV shows to pick from on ROKU's IQIYI.  All the failed attempts at getting my Computer IQIYI account to be recognized on ROKU IQIYI resulted in me having a second IQIYI account which I have hopefully deleted but I will look out for signs of it especially at billing renewal times.  IQIYI also seems to have fixed the way you input your phone number in your IQIYI account settings and that problem has gone away for me.
