I’ve tried your recommendation numerous times with no success. I am running a 14 version of the software. Historically I used the app to listen through my earbuds for years. We switched from Frontier to Spectrum and started having issues with the Roku app. For a while I could delete the app, shut off my phone, reboot the phone, download a new app, and had some success in reconnecting. However, that no longer works either. When I try to connect manually, I get the message that there is no device at that IP address. Please advise.
