Roku returns to screensaver after 20 mins

Last 3 days Roku crashes & returns to screen saver. I have tried everything. I've checked issues posted here going back to 2017 & I've already done them. Any suggestions?

Re: Roku returns to screensaver after 20 mins

Hi Danny, it took me 1/2 hr to find this again. Remember I'm a newbie. Lol. I'll try to keep it simple. While watching a show, in an app throuh Roku, in EXACTLY 20min, into the program, the screen simply turns purple with Roku on it & will stay there until I go to the Home menu & select the app I was watching, then it will repeat in 20 mins & do it again. Then I give up. Here are the specifics:

1. Model# 2720X

2. Adapter/HDMI

3. WiFi/LG Smart Streaming

4. Simply select the app, in Roku, watch it for 20mins exactly & it returns to the purple screen with Roku on it.

I have checked for updates for All; Roku, the app I watch, my TV & WiFi provider.  I have uninstalled & reinstalled Roku & the app I watch. Now today the voice hasn't matched with programming. I have used this setup for nearly 1 yr without any problems until recently. It seems as though there is a timer on it. I've noticed the Roku device gets hot. Is this normal? Thanks for any help you can provide.
