Solving playback issues

[jv9]

I have a new Roku device and this problem is still happening in 2023 (almost 2024). That's quite a bug you can't fix. ODD. Firmware is up to date. Device details below. What is the way to fix this?

Model: 3941X2 - Roku Express 4K+

Serial number: X02200L8WK39

Software version: 12.5.0 build 4178-E4

Device ID: SOHAK358WK39

I fixed my video playback problems by examining my HDMI cables.  Older cables do not support the latest requirements made of them by newer devices.  Make sure you have the latest versions of HDMI cables.

Ok, so I've been running with a different HDMI cable for a couple of days and things are ok. I installed using the cable that came with the Roku device. I guess that is not an optimal and compatible cable.
