Features, settings & updates

[rokünt]

Here we go again, Roku did another of it's bloody irritating updates and BAM it screwed up the Roku which now keeps rebooting.

I first noticed it on Roku channel (some irony) which it does within a minute of watching.

On Netflix it is random

On YouTube if I am watching a longish video

The Roku version is 10.5.0 and the build is 4201.

WHY can't Roku let users disable auto updates?

I am at the point where I am going to use Wireshark to determine the IP addresses of upgrade routers and blocking them on my firewall.

SERIOUSLY this is REALLY irritating, especially as it takes so long to reboot in the first place with the stupid dancing Icon.

Who does the User Acceptance Testing of these releases, what is being added anyway, it was fine before.

PLEASE roll it back to the previous version and email us when you have done it!

I'm on 10.5 build 4201-17 as well, and was pulling my hair out last night. Decided to do the nuclear option - full factory reset. The apps started behaving properly after that, but something in this update ruined how my Roku 4 (4400x) reads USB drives. The one I had used for years was no longer recognized -- ended up having to wipe and reformat as FAT32 instead of NTFS and now it's working.

I don't want forced/fugure updates if they're not properly QC'ing them.

All was fine, so if it's working, they have to keep fixing until it stops working. Volume that was working fine, now works intermittently.

You need to clean house like Twitter, instead of keeping the devs busy ruining what works.
