Agreed. I appreciate your acknowledging that it helped you too. What TV/projector are you using? At first I thought it was because the series “Cursed” was cursed. Then we noticed “The Last Kingdom” would also not open despite other HD series opening. Perhaps these shows use a different frame ‘aspect’ or frame refresh standard? The clue was that these shows that did not open, after having reset Roku/Netflix, would only once and then display a message at the onset. Yet every time, I had been immediately clearing the message without reading it. Until I did. This was the text that served as my clue to change away from the HDR resolution:
”Frame rate matching is on
Your screen may flash while video quality is optimizing. Disable in your device’s settings.”
Oh. I just looked up TCL and realize it is a type of TV. Thanks!
Nope. I've tried all of that with my Sharp Roku TV. It worked fine until I want to say it was early this summer and there was an update. Since then, Netflix, HBO, Hulu, Britbox, Paramount, Roku Channel, and even YouTube occasionally would freeze and then kick us out. We cleared cache, reported the errors, tried switching off 4K, rebooting after unplugging, factory reset, and every other "It worked for me" solution. Nothing worked. I bought a Chromecast during the Black Friday sale and since then the TV has worked flawlessly on every channel. I shouldn't have had to purchase a streaming device to get my Roku TV to work, but that's what fixed it.
Nothing on settings say app, I followed exactly and there is no app.
Mine is a 65” ONN

I have: cleared the cache, uninstalled and reinstalled Netflix 3 times, and did a factory reset. The issue occurs nonstop. I watch dramas that have subtitles and what will happen is the video freezes completely, but the audio and subtitles continue to keep playing and then it crashes. Other times the video keeps going, and then the audio and subtitles freeze and then it crashes.
I have had similar issues with Sling.tv app, crunchyroll, and Prime only on this Roku. My other ones work perfectly fine.

Hi, I think you have a serious problem, the TV system or the app is terrible, talk to Netflix and try to find out what's going on, several TV brands with a common problem. There's nothing to do, this reset that you teach doesn't work, it doesn't change anything, uninstall and install the app again.
I keep posting replies from TCL and Roku support here on this forum and the posts keep getting deleted as spam or something about HTML links. It shows up as posted and confirmed and I have notified the moderator again and again. It seems that this forum is a waste of time. contact the tv support directly and try there. this Roku forum does not get any support from Roku itself. That is the problem!

I'll clarify it's not only Netflix. It crashes with YouTube, Hulu, Max, AppleTV, BritBox, Disney, and even the Roku Channel.
And it just happened again with Youtube.
