Solving playback issues

[Summuus]

Nov 1, 2024

Device type: Roku Ultra

Serial number: X028000E7524

This one is a replacement from a 3 week RU that crashed... this new one here crashes also! It's like there's some kind of odd memory leak. They crash at the stupidest times too... MOSTLY from just exiting the screensaver OTHERS like a hard back to HOME from like YouTube or Streaming service. It is extremely ANNOYING! Where is the quality control Roku? 

I have a latest 80" Sony Brava TV that supports EVERYTHING. External Inputs are all setup properly to Dolby Vision. I have HDMI 2.1 that support the best in Dolby Vision. This problem is NOT on my end.

PLZ fix your Firmware!

Thanks

I returned my 4850 and went back to my stable 4660x... what a nightmare the new Ultra & RokuOS is right now. 

The only way they'll get the message is if you vote with your dollars.

They're just going to ask you to provide some info then ghost you... look at all the other threads. The pattern is obvious 😞

It is a bug and is easily reproducible ...

I have done all of the power setting settings,  restarts of all TV's and Devices,  I have tried all different resolutions on both the Roku and the TV just in case something wasn't playing nicely there, Uninstalled and reinstalled multiple screen savers  ( I have 2 2024 Ultra's and both do this ), it happens if device is connected via wifi or wired/ethernet ,  with wall paper animations on and off etc...

I have messed with just about every permutation between the TV and the Roku that one could do...  There should be no reason why your lower support teams or anyone internally can't reproduce the issue...

I do have the new voice remote and do not have any pervious remotes to try and see if the connected remote/device makes a difference but as stated above both of my 2024 ultra's have the issue and both have only been using the new remote they came with.
