YouTube TV Pause Issue
While using the YouTube TV app, if I've had a show paused for X amount of time, Roku's screensaver will kick in. When I eventually hit play, the paused show won't start from where I left off, but rat...
Forum Discussion
Testing this I discovered that using some of the "built-in" screensavers resulted in the dysfunctional behavior you described (and worse, it would attempt to install random channels as well after returning to Home) after pushing play/pause.
The following screensavers exhibited the Home/loading other app behavior upon pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button when activated:
Don't use: Roku City Stroll/Movie Magic, Roku Space, Roku Western, Roku Kids, Roku Nautical, Roku Jungle
The following screensavers functioned normally upon pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button when activated:
Use: Roku Digital Clock, Roku Analog Clock, Roku 4K Screensaver, Star Trek Theme Screensaver, Roku Skyline, Roku Aquatic Life (both versions), Roku Logo Rain
(Roku Mobile Screensaver simply locked the Roku up entirely when previewed/set)
So, for now, use a screensaver listed in the second group.
As well, please fill out a bug report:
thanks, man, will try this. My roku tv is just on default settings but this issue of pause cancelling out to home THEN trying to install channels I don't want is quite annoying.
Never use Play/Pause or OK to dismiss a screensaver.
I had my roku tv on default settings and this was getting very annoying since the last update. I don't even remember any screen saver, it just goes black. Well I set the digital clock screen saver, found under "settings\system settings\screensaver." The next time I came back after neglecting it for a few minutes, it just went right back to paused video when I operated the remote. Thanks, I hope it stays working. It really seemed like they were just pushing subscription channels at me.
This happens to me in analog or digital clock screensaver
Hello DorkJedi
Thanks for reaching out!
We do not have enough details from your original message to make an effective suggestion. Could you tell us more about your concern?
With more information, we can assist you further.
All the best,
KarizaRead back through the posts. When you pause YoutubeTV or Youtube the screensaver comes on. When you attempt to restart your show, depending on the length of the pause, if long enough it will fail to restart your show at the paused location. You are returned to the Main Roku Menu, not even still in Youtube, at which time Roku starts to load a random channel
There seems to be an odd work-around of using the "return to prior screen" instead of the pause button to restart which seems to start your program at the paused location. It will play for a few seconds and stop at which time you have to press play button to keep it going. This may only work for a certain time once the pause is pushed. It's hard to know.
There's also been a suggestion of changing your screen saver to certain screensavers solving the problem but I think these lighter weight memory using screensavers are just extending the amount of available memory.
Fixed! Thank you!
