Hi johnfair59 Tim109,
Thanks for keeping us posted!
We want to investigate the issue you encountered with the Photoview app more closely. Is this the only channel that you're experiencing problems with? When did the issue start?
Can’t wait to hear from you soon!
Thanks,

I don't know this app but I looked around github and found this comment from the developer:
"HTTP ERROR CODE 429 error is due to Google API rate limiting the application. Sometimes we have people that use up all the millions of available API requests for this application and impact others.
Count resets at 12:00 pm PT from Google side. Nothing we can do from the application side. This is why we "try" to limit API requests as much as possible in the application"

Hi,
I thought because I have so many albums of all my photos and videos on google photos that this might be the problem so I have cut my number of albums down. However it still is giving me grief. I have reloaded the app this morning but it's still the same fault report.
kind regards

That comment about the rate limit being exceeded would mean there's nothing you can do unless the dev changes things on their end, neither can Roku do anything.
It would be easiest to switch apps or use Roku Photo Streams with Google Photos integration.

Don't remove any more albums or anything though, it's not your libraries fault.
So I clicked on the link you embedded in your reply and it says that roku photo streams isn't available in your region.
If I type in roku to the search facility on the home page it doesn't show any photo streaming apps. Even if I type in photos no app shows up that look like it could remotely work.
