Re: [OS 10.5] Ultra 4660X channel issues and slowness

Jump to solution

Same issues. Have not checked all channels I have, but Discovery+, Hulu and Peacock are not working and I cannot watch content. Discovery+ loads the content, but when I select anything I get a an error message. Hulu and Peacock indicate network errors.

Customer Service chat told me to connect through my phone hotspot. I could view the content, but it pauses on a blank screen every so often and then sometimes totally goes black. This is not a solution, but only a poor workaround.

So frustrating!!  Roku... many have complained... what is the resolution???

10.5.0 build 4201-46

pretty much all channels but Disney plus, HBO, Hulu, YouTube, Rokus own advertising pane on the main menu are for sure a problem. 

it takes extend time 1-3 minutes for an app to launch and authenticate user. Then minutes to load any thumbnails. About 70 percent application failure to load a show after selecting it.  Been this was for 2-3 weeks now. 

Comcast is the internet provider but other computers and streaming devices Apple TV, PlayStation operate just fine.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your patience while we investigate this issue.

In the meantime, can you please provide us with your ISP (internet service provider) along with the brand and model number of the router that you are using? 

Once we have this information, we will pass it along to the appropriate Roku team.


Thanks,
Danny

Danny,

The problem with 10.5 has precisely nothing to do with internet, and blaming customers for Roku's failure isn't the approach to take.  100 mbps, before and after, 10.5 killed Vudu (which no longer plays UHD titles without stuttering, skipping, and freezing, before forcing HDX).  Immediately issue a reversion to 10.0.0 so that we can use our apps; in the meanwhile, figure this problem out and reissue 10.5, when ready.

As a software engineer, this seems like a silly request. The fact that there was no issue prior to the update indicates that it is a software issue, especially when all other smart devices work fine on the network. Trying to blame it on customers is not the way to go. Revert the update until this is resolved.

That being said, my ISP is Xfinity. It's an Xfinity-branded hybrid router/modem. I would have to unhook it from my wall and pull it out from behind a cabinet to track down the model.

I recommend not even acknowledging the blame-shift.  "It's the ISP...or simply the dumb customer!"--always the right approach.  (As is failing to provide user-level software version reversion, if necessary--as it is, in this case.)  (I'd like to watch my expensive Vudu UHD collection; looks like 2021 is out--and maybe 2022.)

Roku Ultra November 17th update causing apps to load slowly and some don't work at all.

Jump to solution

Apparently, my Roku Ultra updated during the morning of Nov 17th, 2021 and now all my apps load very slowing and some are no longer working.  Is anyone else having the same issue?
