Re: Roku player error: malformed data - BigRic

Thanks Ned, but then what are the options for those of us that want to leverage a single cable connection to get channels to all of our new TVs, using the same Ethernet (or wireless) that runs to those locations? Those channels are still familiar and used by everyone in our home. It simplifies ...

Re: Roku player error: malformed data - BigRic

Kind of frustrating. Customers who pay both SiliconDust and Roku for what would seem to be a pretty basic feature (and the main reason the HDHomeRun platform exists, no?), end up without a workable solution. Can't we at least get an app that traps the problem instead of locking up the app, requiring ...

Re: Roku player error: malformed data - BigRic

One more piece of the puzzle. I have a Samsung TV that has a discovered devices app, which identifies the HDHR. If I browse the channels and play them, they all work without any issues. It just seems to be the Roku app / Media Player that's having problems.

Re: Roku player error: malformed data - BigRic

Another question / suggestion - is there any way that the app could "trap" this error before bombing out? There's no way to know which channels this will happen on and when it occurs, you have to completely exit the app and start over. When you do, you still don't know which channels will be ...

Re: Roku player error: malformed data - BigRic

@Nickk, Not able to PM yet as a new user, but I don't think there's much risk in posting this here: [link removed by moderator]

Downloaded file plays perfectly fine on my PC... This channel (2), doesn't play on Roku, but many others do. It's a total crap shoot. If you want to see an example of one ...

Re: Roku player error: malformed data - BigRic

Isn't the whole purpose of the HDHomeRun app to be able to watch cable via the Prime from other devices? I use it on my laptop and half of my TV's (2 of which are also Roku devices). That's the only reason I have the device to begin with...

Roku player error: malformed data - BigRic

I am having this problem on two brand-new TCL/ROKU devices. I have an older HiSense/ROKU on the same network that works fine (and a Samsung that natively supports browsing channels using the media player). I noticed on the TCL that if I run the Roku Media Player (which is what the error shows during ...
