Black 99% screen multiple times per episode

Hello. I keep trying to watch shows on roku channel. While watching the screen will go black and say 99% while spinning but sound continues. It does this numerous times an episode and has been going on for over a week. Ive restarted device, and checked for updates. How do I fix this issue? Or who do I contact? Thanks.

    Hi ashes24

    Thanks for reaching out to the Roku Community. 

    We'd like to know more about the issue you are experiencing so we can best assist you. Could you provide us a screenshot or image of the issue occurring? Does it only occur on a specific movie/show or all movies/shows on The Roku Channel? Could you tell us how are you powering your Roku device? Is it connected to the USB port of the TV or to a wall outlet? 

    With more details, we will be able to assist you further. 


    Regards,

    • Can you specify what shows, episodes, or channels the issue occurs on?

    We look forward to hearing from you and looking closely into this issue.
