Hi @JeffS4947,

Thanks for keeping us posted here at the Roku Community!

May we know if this issue only occurs on the Fido TV and GSN app? If so, we highly suggest you contact the channel provider's Customer Support team directly. Since this is an isolated case involving the Fido TV and GSN apps exclusively, we strongly advise that you contact their customer Support team for further assistance and clarification.
Please be advised that the majority of content on the Roku platform comes from streaming channels maintained and updated independently by the channel's provider. 

In the meantime, your patience and understanding are very much appreciated.

Regards,
Carly

Hi @RokuTakashi 

 

I have the same issue as the original poster. Ever since I updated my roku device. Two of my apps keep crashing. I took pictures of the information that you guys will need but I'll need a email to send them. Anyway, whenever I try to play the FidoTv app or the GSN (Genesis Science Network) app. They both keep crashing and returning to the home screen. Please do reply and help me fix this issue. I tried removing both of the apps, then rebooting the roku device, and then re-installing both of them. Still the same result, they both crash.

I have the exact problem with both my JVC TV with built in ROKU and my ROKU HDMI stick on another smart tv.  I tried restarting, reinstalling and updating- no help

The same thing happening here. This has been since last year, when I started getting overheating error messages on the screen. I was sent another extender and that got rid of the messages, but the inability to load channels, the blackout screens when attempting to open channels, if channel opens, the blackout screen then reverts back to roku theme page after every episode or the episodes won't load/play, they just crash and return to theme page. The older devices don't seem to be having these issues.

Hi @bygjymbo,

Thanks for posting in the Roku Community!

We understand you're having a problem with the Genesis Science Network and Amazing Discoveries channels. We're happy to help. If the issue persists on one channel after attempting the troubleshooting steps and videos from other channels play fine, contact the channel provider's customer support team to report the issue and get help. The channel developers themselves maintain channels on Roku. In this case, an issue within that specific channel likely needs to be addressed with an update from them.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help you.

Best regards,

John
