Re: Credits screen minimizing and going black on streaming services

We appreciate the details you have shared, @kenr276.

To complete the details requested by our Roku engineers, could you also provide us with the Tracker ID? When this issue occurs, press the Home button five times, followed by the Back button five times, and provide us with this ID.

We're looking forward to your response.

Thanks,
Janadee

Same problem - how has Roku not fixed this? Months and tons of users with the same issue. Fix it!

Been a lot longer than months. At least a year for me.

Re: Credits screen minimizing and going black on streaming services

Update, also happening on YouTube when you click the Comments button. It minimizes the video (on the left in my case, with comments on the right). Screen goes black and stays black after you click on it and it resizes back. Sound works. So definitely an issue linked with minimizing the video. @Roku, please increase the urgency of this issue.

Don't let them ignore this, hoping we just forget about it and move on. Keep the discussion alive. It's still happening to me with the Max app. How can this not be fixed yet?! 🤬

Re: Credits screen minimizing and going black on streaming services

Happy to report that the issue seems to have been fixed! Minimized screen working correctly today (tested on YouTube comments and Max post credits), with my TCL 6series. Only complaint is that screen resizing is slow and buggy, if this can be improved. Thanks @Roku
