With the update to ver. 11.5.0 build 4235-CR, I found that only Disney+ and YouTubeTV are now working as expected. All other apps still have the same issues. It is NOT fixed yet.

Hey Danny, as engineering giving you any solutions?

My wife who very seldom records anything, did so to a movie, and today went to replay it I had the same doggone problem on her Roku on a different TV.

I would like this to be solved, I don't want to have to trash the Roku for both TVs and start over again

Re: Roku fast forward moves audio but not video on YouTube TV.

I am guessing some genius programmer at ROKU inserted some sort of acceleration  that is breaking many channels.

It is now dangerous to touch any control while viewing for fear of having the exit and restart. Some times one gets lucky and the video resumes in the correct location. Some times not, depending on the channel. 

I have checked for roku updates daily. There have been 2 updates since this started to happen that I installed through the Systems menu. No improvement.

I have checked for channel updates. Only Youtube had an update, but it fixed nothing.

At one point even the dancing roku on start up was being skipped over, but now is dancing as it has for the last few years.

Please roll every thing back a few versions so the roku functions correctly and figure out in house what went wrong.

3941x, currently on 11.5.0 4235

Thank you

Edit: after posting the above I purposely test a few channels.

Youtube worked correctly most the time, a few locked up the video with the audio following the fast forward and rewind. I looked at "stats for nerds" but saw no clue when looking at the codecs as to why some videos work correctly and some get stuck.

Pluto on demand video gets stuck while subtitles and audio move with the fast forward and rewind.

Tubi same as the above.

Paramount+ movies same as above

AMC+ same as above

Peacock is even worse. Video gets stuck when switching from ad  just before the show starts. When pressing play on a "resume" it is stuck after the first few frames. Audio and subtitles continue?

Re: Roku fast forward moves audio but not video on YouTube TV.

I thought the lastest code fixed the issue, in fact I know I tried the channels that were giving me issues and they worked immediately after the update. The next day, they were back to having the issue again. I troubleshoot odd issues all the time but that is very peculiar. 

Anyway, yes, the issue is still there.

Re: Roku fast forward moves audio but not video on YouTube TV.

I’m having the exact same problem. I haven’t bothered to figure out which apps work and which don’t since I see it’s a problem a lot of people are having. I know that Tubi and Sky News are not working on my device. Hope someone is working on this as I won’t live with it for very long.
