Roku 4K Express Airplay Issues
When connecting my iPhone to my Roku Express 4K+ I have noticed some issues when establishing the connection. While I am able to eventually get it to work properly it requires some manipulation. When...

I don’t have a Tracker ID for this because it isn’t a specific event but separate from the times of immense lag I have been describing there is another issue. This happens on a daily basis and so I will describe my morning timeline today to help illustrate what is happening.
Today, I awoke at 6:00AM. I began using AirPlay to my Roku and everything was just fine. A-Okay. Until about 7:30AM when suddenly everything began lagging sporadically. This lag is continuous, intermittent, and brief. It seems to persist for hours until eventually I can Airplay again without it doing so.
To explain what I mean by “continuous, intermittent, and brief,” Assume an interval of 10 seconds, where every 10 seconds the stream will ‘click’ or ‘jump’ or ‘skip a beat.’ This affects both audio and picture.
Thanks for keeping us posted, Dvburnsii!
Have you tried rebooting your Router when the lag is starting to occur? Sometimes, Airplay issues can be caused by a slow internet connection, and restarting it might resolve the problem you're currently experiencing with Airplay.
In the meantime, to ensure your device is up and running smoothly, reboot it to restore its normal performance and clear the cache causing the continuous, intermittent, and brief lags you are experiencing.
Let us know if you need more help. We're here to assist.

Hi, Dvburnsii.
Thanks for the update. We really appreciate it.
This seems odd, and we would like to take a closer look at it. Could you please provide your device details and the device that experienced the problem?
- Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and Software Version. (these can all be found in Settings > System > About)
- Tracker ID (when you see this issue occur, press the Home button five times, followed by the Back button five times, and provide us with this ID)
Looking forward to your response.
Thanks,

I have tried these steps multiple times since beginning this discussion with you and they have not helped. I have also been monitoring the internet speed throughout the day during this process and it is never below 150mb/s while normally above 300mb/s. I am on a high-speed internet package. I can also view my signal strength from my iPhone, my Roku, my TV, and the router and all are in good standing. So if you are telling me what is happening is due to the connection then all that is left that is unaccounted for would be some type of interference, I am guessing, or what? What are your thoughts?I have tried these steps multiple times since beginning this discussion with you and they have not helped.

An update on one of my previous replies about shows appearing in my Roku watch history that I do not watch-Over and over again I would delete them from my watch history and they would continue to reappear so I decided to just delete the app from my Roku which resolved the issue. However, if I scroll down on the Home Screen to “What to Watch,” the second row that displays “Your Apps,” the deleted app remains on the list.
An update to my previous posts regarding my ‘continued watching’ suggestions being inaccurate or inconsistent. The only application I am noticing this problem with is ‘Direct TV’ stream. A show called ‘Home Town’ appears in my ‘continue watching’ history every single time I use the ‘Direct TV’ app. If I delete the show from my Roku menu, open Direct TV to any channel, then return to my Roku home menu, the show ‘Home Town’ appears in my history. Also, any show I actually do watch in ‘Direct TV’ does NOT show up in my ‘continue watching’ history.
Thanks for the update, Dvburnsii!
No worries; we'll have the team look into this issue. But for now, while waiting for the team's response, it would also be best to contact Direct TV customer support for additional assistance, as it seems to be a content issue with the app.
We'll keep you posted!
