Solving playback issues

[Sonza1]

I have a RokuTV that has recently upgraded to OS version 11.0

Since the upgrade, the system has a lot of buffering issues, and the video even locks up and then resyncs. It almost acts like lack of memory in a computer. There were no issues with the tv until the recent upgrade. Restarted the TV and the problems go away for a couple of hours, but then reappear.

The internet connection is fine. Home network fed by fiber and TV reports connection an Good (93Mbps).

Issues only show up when watching ROKU content regardless of channel being streamed. HDMI inputs have no issues.

RokuTV 6403X

Hitachi Model 55/r7

Software version 11.0.0 build 4168-33

This is very annoying and needs to be resolved.

I have another brand of ROKUTV in the house as well as multiple stand alone ROKU players and this device is the only item that has the problem, and the only one upgraded to 11.0 at this time.

Same streaming issue, just started to happen only on the Roku stick that got updated to 11.0.0.
It happens with some, but not all apps. Others Roku sticks running 10.5 have no streaming problem!

Appreciate if Roku have a rollback feature to 10.5 from 11.0.9

Same problem with the roku express, since v 11 the YouTube videos keep freezing and some times they never Charge, with Netflix the videos just keep freezing and buffering slow

Thanks for the post.

Buffering related issues are typically caused by poor internet connectivity. Have you tried rebooting your wireless network to see if that helps resolve the issue?

For troubleshooting purposes, have you tried connecting your Roku device to another wireless network, such as a mobile hotspot, to see if you are experiencing the same buffering issues?

Please keep us posted and we will be able to assist you further.

Thanks,
Danny
