Apps keep crashing since update.

For about a week now (since a software update I think, version 12.0.0, build: 4182 on a TCL TV) the apps keep crashing.

The apps keep crashing and returning to the home menu; iPlayer crashes again if I fast-forward a programme.

I've noticed that the ITV X app flashes up with the old ITV Hub logo before firing up (the Channel4 one shows the old logo as well).

 

UKTV Play also not really working.

 

YouTube seems fine.

 

I've tried uninstalling the apps and a factory restart. Any ideas?

      Hello, RokuMary-F 

       

      The TCL model is: 32RS530K

      Hardware ID: H112X

      Serial Number: X02000LUPK1C

      Device ID: S0MXV00UPK1C

      Sofware version: 12.0.0; build 4182-F9.

       

      As I've stated, BBC, ITV, C4 and UKTV Play apps crash at random; iPlayer sometimes when fast-forwarding.

       

      Any help much appreciated!

        Hi sueathome,

        Thanks for following up and for providing the information requested.

        We want to perform a few steps to make sure we are providing the best service. Could you please check for a manual system update by navigating to Home > Settings > System > System update > Check now? As some channels and services can be restored by performing a system update.

        In addition, when removing a channel, it's important that you make sure to restart your Roku device before adding the channel back again to ensure a clean channel install.

        Can you also provide what version/build the affected channel (this can be found by selecting the channel on the Home screen and pressing the * button)

        We would recommend trying to see if that resolves your issue. Please keep us posted.



        Best regards,
        Mary
