Pandora no longer working on Roku!
My Pandora has worked on my Roku devices for years now but just over the last week, as soon as the time for my screensaver to activate comes, Pandora stops. The screensaver settings haven’t changed...

Can't seem to allow Roku to go to the second song on Pandora.
Screensaver on Roku set for 1 minute, Play Pandora app, song plays but after 1 minute Roku screensaver comes on (not Pandora's music screensaver like it use to for years), Roku box light turns off and song finishes but doesn't go to the next one. End of Pandora unless you go back into the app to start it up again...not suppose to do that.
Investigate and advise please!
Dustytoo, my advice would be to disable the screensaver until this is resolved or use a different music channel/app. I think Roku changed something in the way screensavers work and who knows if or when it will be changed back or fixed. It's more likely that Pandora will have to update their channel/app to account for the new screensaver behavior, so you may have better results by banging on them.
I think what worked for me was to do a firmware update on my Sony TV.
After doing this and doing that, I looked inside the menu on the TV to see the previous firmware was like 5+ years old !! So with nothing to lose, updated (1.6gb), rebooted the TV and gave it a go. Right out of the box..it now works like it did many years ago only very smooth transition on the Pandora screensavers between songs. No issues at all. So reset the screensaver timeout back to 1 minute and haven't looked back.
Thanks for your suggestions renojim!
