Apps crashing when trying to play video
This is a bug I experienced on disney plus and apple TV using the 4k roku stick Steps to repro: - Turn on roku - Load Disney Plus with Ads - Play Andor - Roku will crash during the ads I solved this problem by turning the streaming quality to low. I think the Roku stick should handle this more gracefully than just crashing, for example warning users that they do not have enough bandwidth for high quality streaming.
Screensaver Crashes the Roku Ultra 2024
Same exact thing with the new 2024 4850X. I have the 4800X that I was upgrading from and that unit is just fine, no issues. The new model has the same exact issues. Screen saver crashes the system entirely, sometimes the whole thing becomes unresponsive randomly in an app and reboots and other times just hitting home from anywhere will cause it to freeze crash and reboot too. There’s a new processor in these models and my bet is there’s some memory handling issue or something they need to patch. Very annoying and not a good experience at all. This new one is terrible, I’d never look back at Roku if I was a new customer and I thought this was normal.Netflix on Roku Streambar constantly crashing
I keep having problems with streaming Netflix on Roku. It's really getting frustrating. First it would freeze or be super laggy. So I restarted the Roku...no difference. Uninstalled Netflix and tried to reinstall but now it won't reinstall. WTF. I've been a loyal Roku user for over a decade but I'm losing patience. I'm ready to move on.
