Yes, confirmed today by all my apps not working - they have really screwed up more than normal with this one.

So what is the fix when you are using their cert:

url.SetCertificatesFile("common:/certs/ca-bundle.crt")

which I'm sure is 90%+ of their base.

I need an answer right now - Roku's cert is expired:
url.SetCertificatesFile("common:/certs/ca-bundle.crt")
I can't update Roku's cert - do I just ask them to regenerate my channel and it will get their new cert? We have furious customers, stuck at home - this is a debacle.

  My devices received the 9.3.0v4170 firmware update on Saturday with the updated cert bundle which fixed the errors I was seeing.
  While waiting for official reply from Roku, you could ask your customers to manually check for updates on their device, and/or, get in touch with the service providers your app interfaces with and get them to update their certs server-side.

    I just confirmed 9.3.0v4170 firmware on this device, ran updates, rebooted - crash when:
    
    url.SetCertificatesFile("common:/certs/ca-bundle.crt")
    This is not fixed. What is the fix?

  jcgeorge - Exactly. Replacing the certs server side worked for me. Didn't need to wait for a Roku OS update.
