Re: Roku media player keeps dropping back to menu

Westinghouse WR24HX2210
Hardware ID HE01X
S/N X02000RMKUYT
Device ID S0RKJ2AMKUYT
Software 12.0.0 build 4172-FA
GC version 9.2.113
Issue ID YT-208-374

TV is a recent Amazon purchase (under 2 months) and has had this issue out of the box.  Updates/app reinstall done as documented above.

Now that the screensaver is disabled, I do see that sometimes it reverts to the main menu, but most of the time it locks up in the video at the start of a new loop - always at the start, never in the middle of the video.  It doesn't lock the TV up completely - the remote still works fine to get me out of it, but playback hangs.  Again, there seems to be no pattern to how many loops it will make before this happens.  Sometimes only hours, sometimes several days.

Re: Roku media player keeps dropping back to menu

Yeah, that was the first thing I did.  I checked again for the system and the app - everything shows up to date.

 

I'm just going to go with an external HDMI media player, as this doesn't seem like it's going to be resolved.

Re: Roku media player keeps dropping back to menu

I have the same issue as well.  I used to be able to keep it looping for months, now it usually only lasts a few hours.  Tried all the same steps to correct it.
