@Roko any updates on what you are doing to resolve this widespread issue?

This has been going on for weeks! I am getting frustrated. I have deleted the app, reboot and reinstalled three times. Every time it starts freezing again. I have multiple streaming apps and Netflix is the only one that does this on my Roku t.v.

Your suggested fixes do not work. I have tried them all multiple times. There is NO error code. Netflix just stops playing & a few seconds later the tv reverts back to the home screen. This problem is only with Netflix, other streaming apps. work normally. Netflix suggest it is a Roku problem & Roku points to Netflix!! Please work with Netflix to resolve since currently there are MANY frustrated streamers!!

Yep I’ve been having this same issue for months and months now. 65 inch Roku TV. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled and it fixed the problem for a few days and then it crashes again. Same with clearing the cache it fixes it for a bit then it goes back to crashing. I really hope you guys are actually investigating this issue and not putting it off.
