MAX app in streambar is laggy garbage after the 12.5.5 update.

Ever since the mid January 2024 update to 12.5.5 this app and other apps will occasionally randomly freeze and show a static screen before rebooting. It's thee most noticeable on Max, an app that's been garbage since the HBO Max days. It somehow got worse. Laggy UI, shows and movies have serious trouble loading and sometimes never do, remote stops working, system reboots, etc.

I've done everything. No it's not my internet. That's hardwired and it's been tested. Don't ask about that. I uninstalled MAX and reinstalled. Same problems. I tested it on wifi and hardwired via ethernet adapter. Same problems. I even did a factory reset on the Streambar. Same exact problems. So, it's your recent update, Roku. It's trash. Fix it. Asap.
