Re: Max not working all of a sudden.

I'm having the Max problem over the last week or two (but not until then), with two different Roku Express models. One is Roku Express "New" HD Streaming... bought May 2023 on Amazon. Here's something interesting:

I got out my older Roku Express (bought in Nov. 2018) to try with Max; hadn't been used since May 2023. The Max app had to update (HBO Max was still on it), and then the chosen show appeared to play fine. I went away, planning to watch later. When the Roku was turned back on, it wanted to update its own software. Once that was done, the error messages returned.

The newer Roku is running Software version 12.5.5, Build 4174-ED

Error message shots attached. Tracker ID for problem: "Issue ID CY-072-993"

Model 3960X - Roku Express

Serial number X02600K7MDCY (S0KC3297MDCY)

GC Version 10.7.26

Re: Max not working all of a sudden.

Roku is obviously not caring about this at all.  I originally reported this thru tech support on 12/17/2023, and this thread has been open since 12/19/2023 with no resolution.  That’s more than 2 months with no help or resolution.  I say goodbye to Roku and all their products for the future!

Re: Max not working all of a sudden.

Agree with Drew. I haven't been without Max as long as he has, but it's amazing that a gigantic installed base is having to do without such a basic component of what this product is for. I also think that some actual information should be posted here by Roku; and not just "the appropriate people are working on it."
