Continue Watching removed 11-20-2024

The problem as reported by others continues. For me it started the week of 11-20-2024 and seems related to the temporary ad topics stuffed into the home screen, or the deployment of the new Backdrop feature.

Why are labels "bug" and "UI-Failure" not allowed? They are the most appropriate for this problem. None of those listed are actually useful, such as "General Question".

 

update:

Device is 4K Streaming Stick

Device says last update was 11/15/2024

Device reset did not resolve the problem.

Makes absolute no sense that this is/has been a reoccurring issue.

First they remove it from the home page sidebar, then they put it back?

Oh know i get it now. Its because they have a UI team department that needs to be employed also, so they are always changing things based on what now?

That time like would be correct for me - I believe it was the 21st or 22nd.  I can confirm that it is not a hardware issue as I have (2) Roku Plus TV's, a Roku Select and (2) Westinghouse/Roku TV's and they all have the same issue, all less than 2 months old & have up to date software.  However, "Continue Watching" still comes up on the Roku App.

Re: Continue Watching removed 11-20-2024

OK, so it seems like we are making some progress, and I'd say it happened within the past couple of hours.  I have "Continue Watching" back on the "What to Watch" screen.  However they have now added an "Explore Recommendations" row at the top, then "Continue Watching", then "Your Apps" (which is redundant as it's already on the Home page), then "Save List".  I would prefer "Continue Watching" then "Save List", then whatever else Roku want's to sell.

What would be nice is the ability to choose and reorder the rows we would like to display.

But thanks for the improvement.

Roku comes through! New category.

Forget the "What to watch"

! Roku has just added a new category - "My Entertainment" and it only has "Continue Watching", "Save List", "Roku Live Favorites", and "My Apps".

 

Perfect - please don't mess with it! Thank you.

Re: Roku comes through! New category.

Yes, progress. Continue Watching has returned.

Haven't seen a "My Entertainment" section. It doesn't sound particularly helpful.
