[OS 12.5] HDHomerun malformed data error
I have a roku premier m/n 3920CA, and just installed the HDHomerun app and get the malformed data error. Only happens on this app. Any fixes yet?

The Roku version is basically just a web-based UI that sends everything to the Roku video player. All "apps" on Roku use this Roku video player. Only Roku can update the code for that portion.
Interesting side story on Roku, things are weird right now for Roku. Roku released a new SDK that might open the door to us having our own video player code, and being able to fix things like the DVR playback bug, or possibly having PRIME support, rewind on live TV, and so on. However, Roku then said that this new SDK is only for private use, and they wouldn't accept app submissions that use the new SDK. But that's weird, why go to the trouble of supporting a new SDK if you have no intention of accepting apps that use that SDK? Maybe Roku will accept those apps in the future, but they are waiting to see what developers do with the new SDK? We're really not sure what's going on there. Things could be soooo much better on the Roku, but until Roku (the company) allows it, there's not much we can do. It's a platform mainly made for streaming services, rather than OTA.
Good news, the Fire TV 4K stick should be working better. Within the last week or so, the dev team fixed another issue, so give the app another try. We blacklisted the hardware MPEG-2 decoder in our app, which means the delinterlacing isn't the best for interlaced channels, OTA is watchable now.
