While I wouldn't ever put it past bad actors messing with conservative news, I don't think that's what we have here.  As someone who has spent his career in tech, I think this just comes down to really poor coding (programming) and especially poor quality control and follow up.  I think the ultimate solution would be to force all the the Newsmax people to use their own horribly **bleep** applications for a week. Then they would understand. 

There truly is no excuse for apps this bad!  It goes far beyond this issue of getting logged out randomly.  Tonight I went to watch the latest episode of Carl Higbie.  Clicked the latest episode, and it started playing the latest episode of Greg Kelly.  That was on my computer using a chrome browser.  Went to my Roku on my TV, and did the exact same steps and it played Carl Higbie like it should.  Really bad coding and quality control, period.

It does indeed sound like bad coding. They recently rolled out their newsmax plus subscription, and I wonder how many people are noticing the same thing and telling them about it. It's not rocket science to fix this. I don't think I have really had any trouble with things like youtube, youtube tv, or any other roku apps I have used. Something did happen when I was trying to watch something through plex, but I don't remember what it was, and it has not happened again. I need to go to tech support for newsmax and tell them about this.

I reached out to newsmax about their roku app and this is the response that I received. So, they are aware of it and working on making it behave better.

Is this a temp fix until it happens again? Or a real solution?

The newsmax app is still giving the error periodically or occasionally when used through the roku device. It will take some time for things to settle down. I have discovered that you can use the newsmax app on either a tablet or a phone to broadcast newsmax tv to your chromecast or smart tv. That seems to work when using the roku device does not work.
