Features, settings & updates

[UpsetGuestMode]

I found a 'fudge' work-around if you or your housekeeper can do this prior to guest arriving:

Once Roku has been rebooted / guest mode reset, and you are presented with a working welcome screen, login for your next guest (set checkout day to be the real checkout day) then go to system settings / power and turn off power management. Leave the Roku in this mode. It will continue to work for the duration of the guests stay.

Does Roku support participate in this forum?

I saw that @RokuJechealR responded to a similar guest mode issue. Maybe they can weigh in/get this issue to the right people?

I can't provide all of the details you requested, as these devices are in a rental unit that I am not able to physically visit right now.

Here are the details I can provide:

• Seeing this problem in 2 of 2 units, both are in guest mode.
• Models of both:  Streaming Stick 4k
• Serial numbers can be provided if helpful.

As far as diagnostics/troubleshooting.  I did the following when I did have access to the devices:

• Power cycled both devices
• Exited from Guest Mode
• Re-entered guest mode
• Checked that latest version of Software installed - reported as last update was 9/15/2024, and no new updates were available

Hope that helps.

Thanks for doing that, @Florida-Rentals. I have guests right now and can’t do the troubleshooting process.

I'm happy to, @Jay43.  I assume that most Guest Mode users are in the same situation. Hopefully, Roku can resolve this quickly. It seems that the key is to let the box sign the guest out automatically, and then it goes weird.
