Roku app problems - cqcq42

Post by cqcq42 »

I replaced my Roku Premiere with the NO SOUND problem with a Roku 4850X Ultra which fixed that problem but added new ones.
If I try to skip forward while watching a pre-recorded show the screen often just goes blank and the app hangs. Worse, if I back out of watching and try again, I am taken back to the beginning where I definitely want to skip forward. The problem is so frequent that I went back to using an iPad and casting to my TV. Even casting to Roku works.
At some point I got this app crash:

Sorry, didn’t notice the scroll bars.

My experiment to replace my Roku Premiere with a Roku Ultra did succeed in getting the HDHR app on Roku to permit sound, but the experiment is basically a failure due to the numerous bugs in the app.
Watching live TV works for a bit, then stops. Sometimes there is an on screen message about malformed data.
Watching recorded shows has the same problem plus trying to skip over commercials is a crap shoot and may result in a frozen, black screen (BSOD?)
So I cannot use the HDHR app on Roku and am forced to cast HDHR from my iPad to my Samsung TV. The app on iOS is not without its own problems. If I use the iPad immediately after a BSOD (without resetting) then the iOS app cannot find the HDHR so it too has crashed.
Pretty disappointing.

The new version of the UI (20250327) on iOS is unable to play Recorded content. All I get is a “Data not found” message with a “Go Back” button.

Please try again and let us know if it is working or not.

I'm having the same issues on Roku. Seems this has been a problem for a while now as I'm finding posts when I searched the forums on this topic there were several hits, going back months...
