Photo Stream Channel Not Working

The Roku Streams channel will not let me “get started.” It just keeps showing me the QR code and after i made a stream and everything, it wont let me put it on my TV. It just keeps doing this, nothing else.

Re: Photo Stream Channel Not Working

The exact same thing is happening with me when I'm trying to get Roku Streams set up. I've rebooted Roku, and kept it unplugged for a few minutes, same results. I turned roku off through the system restart and it still keeps giving me the same screens with the code and the 'get started' button.

I have several streams set up in my phone, all photos uploaded, but the TV roku streams app doesn't recognize any of the streams. None appear on the TV app to choose and set as a screensaver.

 I hope we can get this working properly, very frustrating.

Thank you
