Roku Device Features, Settings & Updates

I received the 9.4.1 update, but I am not sure what issues it is supposed to address. Are there release notes for this?

Sometimes they post something on their blog site (https://blog.roku.com/index) but that's usually for a major version update. I just checked and there is a post about 9.4, but not the incremental update to 9.4.1. I don't even see anything on the developer web site. So my guess it's just some bug fixes. In general, they don't tend to issue release notes for version updates.

It's Feb 16th 2021 and I can't get my Roku to update to 9.4.1.  When I do a manual search it says software is up to date as of Dec 2020.

9.4.1 (build 4236 is latest) is for the 4800 only at this point - all other player models use 9.4.0 (build 4200 is latest).

Thanks for the info.

I have the Ultra LT and was hoping to cure some issues with Philo (FF and hiccups) and Discovery+ (hiccups).

FWIW I anticipate a new build of 9.4.0 to drop in the next week or two - however, the app issues are far more likely to be resolved with app updates.
