Playback Issues - Audio/Video & Power

[tmcclend]

Just trying out Apple Fitness+ over the Roku.  It's a Streaming Stick + on the latest firmware.  Once the playback starts, the audio works but the screen goes black.   Streaming of other videos that were taken by the phone works just fine.

Just to update this.  I went downstairs and tried to airplay to an appleTV (v3) and got the exact same behavior.  It must be an issue with the new Fitness+ app, or else Apple wants me to use only a small screen to see the video.

Same problem with streaming stick .... the video shows the countdown in the screen fine but as soon as workout starts it’s only audio

Make sure you report this to Apple:

Same problem on the 4800X.
Interesting part is no other airplay cast appears to have a problem.  In fact, in Fitness+, if you select Preview of a workout, it totally works.  But playing the actual workout does not.  In contact with Apple, but not sure if this isn’t a Roku issue.  When you play with workout in screen mirroring mode, you can still see the screen cast option and the Roku does not show up in the list only the phone.

I submitted an issue with Apple, interestingly enough I tested tons of apps on my phone and found another where the video does not correctly cast, so I told Apple it might be a video type issue.  Because I tested about 8 apps that all worked correctly, and then found the one that doesn’t like Fitness+

I am talking with Apple CC as well - lets see how it goes! Will update.

I am following this .. as I just started w/Ifitness and got new Roku b/c it is supposed to work w/Airplay.

I read that IOS 14.5 will fix this issue.

The Streambar has a Bluetooth receiver so that you can use it to play audio from a Bluetooth-ready tool thru the speakers, but I've in no way read that it has a Bluetooth transmitter that could will let you pair it is audio output with Bluetooth headphones.
