Re: Roku Photostreams and Google Photos

Is it still working for you?  Have you tried it recently.  It worked for me this morning, not working now.

Re: Roku Photostreams and Google Photos

It's the same thing every day. It works until sometime between 3 and 5 PM my local time, EST.  Then it doesn't work again until the next morning.

I sent them all my device info and a tracker ID days ago ..... haven't heard a thing.

Re: Roku Photostreams and Google Photos

I’m having an issue doing the backdrops. I followed the information from the television, which was scanned the code which I’ve done that I’ve actually even connected the Google Photos. I was able to go and download the pictures I want from my phone, but yet cannot see them, pulled up on my television. It keeps telling me can’t start backdrops. Please check your Internet connection. I’ll try again. My Internet is working because the TV is working playing movies and my computer is all of them are working. I’ve even unplugged the TV for 20 minutes plug the back up and still nothing I went back in to try and upload one picture and see if that was going to transfer over to the television and populate in order to do a backdrop it did nothing at all and yet it keeps telling me the same thing. Connect your Internet when it’s actually connected otherwise the TV could not work. Below is the following information for my television

 

Roku model 55S405

device ID 9T6003283584

software version 14.0

Yeah it's a rate limiting issue with the connection from Roku to Google, it's going to work intermittently, they need to fix that underlying API.

They may have corrected the issue. A half hour ago it was still broken. Just now tried and the photo thumbnails for all albums are visible and I can run a slideshow and backdrop. First time it has worked in the evening for a while. Will see if it lasts.
