I’m getting the same issue, which is sad because it hasn’t been available that long and is apparently already being removed. I really enjoyed it.
it could, however, possibly be an issue with Google which uses photo streams to connect to backdrop…
not quite sure yet. Guess we will know in 24 hours or so.
My tv did the same thing and I can't fix it
But I'm thinking that many folks did the linking to Google Photos albums process rather than the upload to Roku's cloud, If there is now some drama with Google, maybe Roku would have to throw the baby out with the bath water.....
My photo stream started acting strange a few weeks ago and would only play the same pictures over and over again. I have over 700 pictures in there and they used to change every time photo stream would come on. Now about an hour ago it stated that photo stream has been removed! This is terrible! It’s been a great asset to Roku! And a great way to always be able to to view and share pictures with others! This has to be a mistake. Please fix this Roku, please!!
My ROKU did the same thing. Backdrops and photostreams is gone - "This channel is no longer available". Visit the ROKU Channel Store to discover more entertainment. For more details, visit go.roku.com/channelremoved"
What a joke. That was no help and tech support is not aware of a problem!
Same here!!!!!
I do not want to see Roku city!!!! Bring back our photos!😡
I am so upset that suddenly my photo stream is no longer appearing on my tv. Can you please remember this situation and turn my photo stream back on?
Same thing for me. Photo Streams channel is NOT working and I have it set as the Screensaver for all 6 of my Rokus. It says the channel has been removed. All of my Photo Streams albums are still online.
HEY ROKU, BRING BACK PHOTO STREAMS!!! WE LOVE IT!
P.S. Add feature to let users group channels into folders for organization. Shouldn't be too difficult. It's just software.
Still on with tech support. They are now understanding that there is an issue. But they don't know what is causing the problem. I have performed their troubleshooting and reported the case number issue using their technique of click on home 5 times and the back button 5 times which creates an issue ID. This is the response I received once I provided them with the issue ID:
"I've escalated your case to our Engineering team to review, and you can expect that once we've fixed the issue, your device will update on its own, so there's no need to follow up. This may take some time, but rest assured that your issue will be investigated as quickly as possible. We may reach out to you if our Engineers need more information, so please keep an eye on your email."
