On the episode, click "recording options" you then have option to delete episode.
This is a dumb process, why not just have the option to delete episode without having to dig into another menu (i.e. button press)
You need to take your concerns to Fubo. It's their app, coded, provided to Roku, and maintained by Fubo. Roku passes your key presses to the app, but what the app does with them is up to Fubo.
Thank you for your reply. I wondered if this was a Roku or Fubo issue. It's interesting that the behavior changed immediately after updating Roku from 11.x to 12.0. I find it quite coincidental that Fubo would update their app at exactly the same time as Roku. I assume that the Roku OS provides functions for common tasks such as FF/Rew? This is what led me to believe the behavior changes are related to the Roku update and not the Fubo app.
I will reach out to Fubo as well and see what they say about it.

It's not unusual to receive several channel/app updates immediately after a Roku software update since each developer sets the minimum Roku software version required for each update. Since 12.0 has been out for quite some time and most people have been receiving 12.5, it's likely that the Fubo update has also been available for quite some time, but your version of Roku software was too low to receive it.

Developers can also override how FF/Rew and the other buttons work. It sounds like Fubo used to override them, but now uses the built-in behavior. By default, one press of FF (>>) starts fast-forwarding at a slow rate and the next two presses increase the rate. One more press and you're back to the slow rate. Are you sure it's not the arrow buttons that move in 30 second increments?
I can't help with the delete, but that's clearly a Fubo issue and has absolutely nothing to do with Roku. Hopefully another user knows something, otherwise you'll have to get the answer from Fubo.
Thank you for your reply. Prior to updating Roku to 12.0, the Fubo app FF/Rew behaved like this:
Left/Right arrows moved in ten second chunks with each press.
<< >> buttons scrolled forward/backwards in chunks beginning at 10 seconds for the first press, 30 seconds for the second press, 1 minute for the third press, and larger for presses 4 and 5 (I don't recall the chunk sizes for 4 or 5).
Now it's as you describe with a continuous scroll for << and >> with three speed settings. The arrow keys scroll slowly while continuously pressed.
Regarding the ability to delete recordings, there used to be a garbage can icon next to each episode when listed and I could use that to delete individual episodes. There was a menu item in the left column that would allow me to delete all episodes. Now the garbage can icon next to each episode has disappeared and only the "delete all" remains.
Also when clicking into an episode, among the choices like "play from start", resume, etc. were "delete this episode" and "delete all episodes". Neither of the delete choices are there now.
I'll check with Fubo and see what they say. If enough complain, maybe we'll get the old behavior back.
Thanks,
Drew

Not at all. Channels are informed of the new Roku versions and often update their apps to accommodate any differences. Sometimes these updates contain bugs or deliberate changes.
