Black Screen while Stream - Anything
Hi! I've been having this issue and I'd tried all sorts of stuff. What solved it for me was going into Settings > Display Type and then changing my resolution to 720p. Not sure why it worked, but it at least got my picture back! Hope this helps.

Hi, @19641217
Thanks for reaching out.
If you have resolved the black screen issue while streaming, and you experience freezing, you can perform a a system restart as a troubleshooting step to address the issue.
- Press Home
- Scroll and select Settings
- Select System
- Select Power. If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step.
- Select System restart
Give this a try and keep us posted.

Hi, @19641217
Have you tried the troubleshooting steps recommended in my previous post?
Additionally, you can set the Roku device's display type to "automatic" by navigating to Settings > Display Type > Automatic.
