video repeating few seconds

Hi all

While playing the video, some portions repeat for about 2-5 seconds. Debugged decoderStats was showing some video frames dropping and repeat count was 1. How can this be fixed?

Be more specific. What is the model number and software version of your Roku device?  Find it on Settings > System > About.  I have the Express+ with analog outputs from 2017/2018, and it’s model no. 3910X, running RokuOS software ver. 11.0.0, build 4193.

Thanks for the reply.

As I am currently in a development stage, I have a 50s video playing in the background on my channel. When playing that video, the 30s to 35secs repeat. Both Android devices and web browsers work with this URL. I enabled the enableDecoderStats of the video node and the decoderStats of the video node showing these fields value as 1 repeatCount, frameDropCount, streamErrorCount.

@athi_joy  So is it an error on your Roku device?

Yes. This problem is present on all the devices we have, including the Roku streaming stick, Roku Ultra, and Roku 4.

@athi_joy  Sounds like all roku device units may be defective.  Contact roku customer support here: https://support.roku.com/contactus
