Re: Express shuts down Prime & YouTube and returns to home screen after 30-minutes.

Jump to solution

I am having the same issue regardless of which app is being used. I restarted my device and am still having the same problems. I will click on any app and it will work for about 10 minutes, then kick me back to the home screen.

This is happening to me as well. What you said did not fix the problem. Using Roku stick latest version and a Samsung Smart TV. This only happens with Hulu live and not with Prime or Netflix or any other streaming service I have. At first I thought it was something to do with a timed setting in Hulu that disconnects after a few hours. But I can’t find anything that would indicate this is in fact true. 
what can I do as sometimes when I start Hulu again there is no audio and I have to turn the TV off, wait and restart the TV. This is not what I’m paying for. Please advise.

This is happening to me now for real last few days. Every app. YouTube, Netflix, STARZ, Hulu all of them and it’s very disappointing

You don't fix it. This is the end of roku. They have horrible devs or greedy execs, or both.

I've tried restarting about 5 times.  I uninstalled and reinstalled YouTube.  Nothing fixes this problem. It just keeps happening over and over again.  It only happens on YouTube no other station.

You have to get a HDMI to RCA converter to stop this from returning to home screen.  It is not the Roku that has the problem its the data stream causing your TV  to disconnect the Device.

Re: Apps won't open

Mine started doing this, too. I went through all of what was said here and did almost everything, except for adding the SD card. Restarting the Roku didn't work. Network reset didn't work. Reinstalling the app didn't work. What finally worked, was a factory reset. I will be getting an SD card for it soon, just to be safe.

I have 2 Roku express+ but only one has this issue the one hooked up to the older TV. Both are connected to the same streaming data. The original post dealt with that type Roku and then it got morphed into this post a while ago. Thanks, Roku for nothing
