Roku Developer Program

[bathejasumeet]

I am developing a program that switches between videos when direction keys are pressed, when playing one video, it happens at times that roku freezes and restarts , this particularly happens when the video is playing and the user is trying to navigate to other videos, while it does not happen when the roVideoPlayer is not playing anything and the user wants to navigate between the videos, the videos are HLS videos that are being streamed from a media server, is there a way to fix this problem?

What do you mean by restarts? Does the box reboot or Does it become frozen for about 5-10
Seconds periodically, and then the queues are emptied causing a rash of activity. If it's the latter and you have print statements everywhere in your
Video event code you need to make sure that you have a debug open to receive the
Print statements or this can occur especially if your testing continuous loading of movies
This would be the case if the user keeps selecting different movies. Can't say if this is your specific
Problem but it was mine at one time and that was the solution
If there is a reboot then I would start by making sure all stream closing events are handled and the videoplayer
Cleans up By calling stop before beginning another stream
