Re: Express shuts down Prime & YouTube and returns to home screen after 30-minutes.

Jump to solution

Thanks for letting us know about the issue you're running into. If possible, could you please provide more specific details about exactly what occurs on your device when you encounter this issue? 

Have you contacted the channel provider yet to report this issue occurring in their channel, and request additional support? If the issue isn't occurring in other channels, it's likely that they'll need to investigate this further to resolve this within the channel (app) itself. You can reach Hulu support here: https://help.hulu.com/s/article/how-to-contact-Hulu?language=en_US

I'll help pass these reports along to the team to share with the channel provider as well. Please keep us posted! 

 

Thanks,

Tanner

It's when watching Netflix, or  Hulu, or Youtube, or anything not just Hulu.

I'm having the exact same issue on not one but 3 Roku devices.  It jumps to the home screen after 2 - 3 seconds on a live TV channel (using Hulu).  This isn't happening on the Firestick I have on another TV.  

I've tried all of the fixes and nothing's working.  I'm about ready to return all 3 of them and buy Firesticks for all of my TVs.

Has anyone tried anything that actually works long term?

That's what I'm doing.  Just ordered two Fire sticks.  Roku has lost me as a customer.

I just purchased the express and now I wish I would have known all of the problems before I bought the express and paid for the Hulu plus, what is the deal with this? Is the the Roku device or is it Hulu or both

Very disappointed... Please help

I think its just the Express and Hulu Live.   Altho - that's what I have been trying the last few days.  I am giving up -  and buying two Fire TV sticks.

Thanks for the notes here. In reference to the issue you're experiencing with the Hulu channel, the channel developer is aware, and is working on an update to help address this.

@Lesjoe1 Thanks for confirming. The next time this occurs, could you please generate an issue tracker report ID by pressing the Home button 5 times quickly, followed by the Back button 5 times quickly. Go ahead and send me a private message from there with your Roku's serial number from Settings>System>About along with the report ID and I'll get this over to our team to take a look. 

 

Thanks,

Tanner
