We’ve been using Photo Stream for months and it just quit loading last week. We have used all the support suggestions but still will not load. When watching screen, it tries but then goes black and returns to main menu.

I just bought my Roku (Express 4K+ 11.5.0m4312-CR) and installed Photo Streams. It will not open, it shows a loading screen and then reverts to the previous screen. No error message or anything. I've checked for updates and it says the channel is up to date.

Photo Stream on TCL Roku TV Back to being broken in 2023?

Jump to solution

I have a TCL brand Roku TV that is about 2 to 3 years old, but has updated software. I just added the Roku photo streams channel and activated it as my screensaver choice after already assembling a 99 photo stream to be used as the screensaver.
And it completely crashes every single time it’s launched!
