Re: What Roku guideline caused Plex to remove screensaver?

Jump to solution

I currently have three Rokus and have faithfully upgraded each of them every time a better model comes out for over a decade, but I have bought my last one due to this issue.

I am not going to risk burning in a screen when there are alternatives out there.  I would never have thought of changing, but they have intentionally made their devices useless to me.

This gets stupider. Plex seems to be the only one that can’t figure out how to deal with the screensaver problem, heck - even Discovery has it figured out so that things work properly when the user goes to pull the unit out of screensaver mode. 

For that matter, I’m trying to figure out why the rule only applies to some apps, since Netflix (and probably others) is still allowed to use their own custom screensaver.

I mostly use Plex and I need another device but have held out from getting another Roku because of this nonsense.
