    Screen Mirror on Windows 11 Laptop

    Hi Folks. I want to view laptop videos on the big (i.e. Roku) screen. Is Screen Mirroring the only way? If so, how do I screen mirror a Win 11 system onto my Roku wirelessly. If not wirelessly, then how could I do it using a network cable? And, as a las resort, is there another way (e.g. HDMI cable)? Thanks.

    Cant Access Subtitles on Disney Plus

    I am not sure whats happening. I have the settings on for the captions to always be on, and I don't have the option in the upper right-hand corner to put them on that way. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Crave App Viewing Options Gray

    My app has a large number of gray boxes instead of showing actual content. If you click on them you get an message that something went wrong. I have tried suggestions provided by support but no luck. Roku sends me to Crave and Crave sends me to Roku. Any ideas?

    Roku Media Player is not in alphabetical order when using the default

    I use Media Monkey (MM) on my computer and Android Phones. I also have it setup as a DLNA Server and use Roku Media Player (RMP) on 3 different Roku Devices. Everything works exactly as expected with the exception of the Song Order with the Playlists on the RMP and Shuffle is not on either. The sort Order on all three RMBs are set to Default, however I cannot make heads or tales out of the actual order. It does not match MM on my computer or phones. If I change the sort order to AtoZ or ZtoA options it is correct for those options, but when using Default it appears to be random with the exception of the first song which is always correct. After that I can not figure it out. It is not alphabetical, file location, file size, bit rate, Title, Artist, Album, Genre, Year or Track #. It also is not the file date, timestamp, VBR or CBR. All other metadata on the mp3s are empty. BTW, I only use Track # on my mp3s in MM if it is an entire album where it is important, ie: Abbey Road or a Prog album so some have it but most do not. I do not understand why RMP does not use the Playlist Sequence used in Media Monkey, but I also can not figure out what the Default sort order is actually using. If I knew that, maybe I could use that to correct the sequence of my Playlists in RMB. However, it would be much better if the Playlists just played in the sequence defined on the DLNA Server. Does anyone know what the Default Sort Order might be in the RMB for Playlists?

    Roku Channel not syncing with closed captions!

    Murdock mysteries on Roku Channel is syncing to some other series or storyline. We tried to watch it on a Roku TV and a TV with roku stick. I am hard of hearing and rely on CC. I'm also really addicted to this series. This phenomenon just happened in the last couple of days. I've followed the reset instructions given from this board, and nothing changes. It appears to only be happening with this series.

    Shuffle photos in Roku Photo Streams

    I'm trying to get my photos to display in random order using Roku Photo Streams. I read that pressing the * (Star) button should bring up a shuffle option, but I don't see it when I try. Is there another way to shuffle or randomize the photo display?

    Closed Captioning never works

    I'm to the point where I'm about to get rid of every roku device I own because this is so incredibly frustrating. I have followed so many threads here, on reddit, and various other places and have tried EVERYTHING. This is clearly a known issue that has been around for a very long time and I'm pretty frustrated that it hasn't been resolved by any update to date. I have the home settings for closed captions set to off and I'm only using each apps closed captioning options, or using the * button if they don't have one (like Disney+). I'm really at my wits end and do not want to have to reset everything after using roku faithfully for over a decade now.

    Disabling the timed-out feature while show is on pause

    Stop with the annoying Timed Out Feature when I pause a show and walk away for 15 minutes. Why not just return to the default page when I turn off the TV instead of this annoying time out feature.
