I have created personal photo streams and checked the box to include in ROKU screensaver but when I open the photo stream app on the TV it shows the screen to get started not the screen to select the stream I want displayed. I have restarted and re downloaded the Photo Stream app with no success. It shows 2 random photos with the QR code to add more??? When I do that it takes me right to my streams which are all checked as included

Works fine on my other Roku device. I did all the actions suggested.  I see two images that are not images that I have uploaded Also, when I go to the photo stream on the Roku in question to shows the Photo Stream Home Screen and asks to play video or get started, Does not show the streams I have downloaded that work on the other Rokus in the house.

Have done all the suggested actions. Streams work fine on my other Roku devices. Shows 2 images that are not from my stream. When I go to the app on this Roku it shows the Photo. Stream Home Screen and get started, When I do that and upload another stream it continues to take me back to the same Home Screen does not show streams that have been downloaded.
