Playback error...black screen
Video starts, and then screen goes black, with audio still playing. Navigating to other functions and features still works, even thumbnails appear in ff feature. I must disconnect the Roku device and wait to resume play. Though the issue returns, usually after the next 2 or 3 cm breaks. So, looking at previous posts on the same issue, with no resolution. Does Roku see these community forums as mere group therapy sessions where we share our feelings of hopelessness? Do we receive nametags? Free coffee and doughnuts at the back of the room?
