Sean N.🔫 (@dsean) reportedI've already done all of the troubleshooting suggestions. None have worked. The only device your service has an issue with is a Roku stick 3600X on a Starlink network. Every other app works fine. It's just the Hulu app that has performance issues. And by that I mean the video and audio on both live and DVR'd shows are out of sync and usually crash after a few minutes (if that). The workaround is to go to a different TV or to use a different app - i.e. use Disney+ to watch shows because it works there but not on your app. A recent example is the new Librarians show. Works fine on the TNT app using Hulu's login (though I have to sit through ads). Completely unwatchable on the Hulu app. Barely plays off the cloud DVR with out of sync audio and crashes the app every 2 minutes or so.

Dovahkeening (@dovahkeening) reported@donawhat @playboyreview @BasedTransPosts My grandma also doesn't know how to work a Roku, doesn't make it some kind of made up fake device. But my grandma does know that trans people exist, are human like the rest of us, and just want to be treated with basic dignity, cuz she's not an *******.

SONJA SMITH (@SstKmd) reported@slinganswers Suddenly #Sling FreeStream on #Roku has this msg: "11-6 Looks like a #location issue. 1)Make sure you aren't on VPN; 2) Enable location services if they aren't on (mobile devices only)" Neither issue is valid. I am in Md USA. Please fix this. 😠 cc @Sling @Roku

Roger Pollard (@RogerChrista) reported@hulu_support I have 1G internet using a @Roku Ultra. It’s not an internet or device issue. Like I said, it’s ONLY on this channel and ONLY for games, not regular programming.
-
Alan Taylor (@Alan_Taylor_314) reported@VeritasKnight i could list up a quick "introductory best-of" half-dozen, just to find out if it'd be your style or not. i mean there are a few terrible episodes, and bad luck could pick a stinker... i *think* it's available on any of Amazon, iTunes, Roku, and Tubi

Primetime 📺 (@Primetime_TB) reportedFinally watching @this_is_acw After Shock. Starting from beginning. Had issues with devices so eventually settled in on canceling the subscription through @Roku and then subscribing to @Triller_TV+ itself and hopefully this will let me watch it on 2 tvs.

What good are notebooks? (@Zaack23) reported@LMDhusky2023 @discoveryplus @FIAWEC Discovery+ isn't stable on the Roku either. It simply does not adjust bandwidth ever; I proved it on the PC with some technicals and Discovery's answer was "use tethering on your PC to force it into mobile mode." Which a) won't work and b) what ********?
-
Periodic Audio: Mobile First Hi-Fi 🏴☠️ (@periodicaudio) reportedNot to mention, @roku, an app I PAID FOR was deleted and there's no way to reinstall without buying it again. Where do I send the bill to, so you can reimburse me? Seriously you have a great system, but your updates are horribly broken and ruin the system.

Bryan (@Bry1527) reported@Crunchyroll @Roku Hey is there a way to fix the Crunchyroll app on Roku tv?? It's been saying "session expired. You've been logged out" for weeks. I can still use my account no problem on every other device like normal.

Stratosfear Tully 🇺🇸🏳️🌈 (@tullyfur) reportedFor years I had my elderly mother perfectly able to operate her @Roku TV. Now the software is so convoluted and dumb I can't even figure out how to fix it for her anymore. It just wants to stream everything with no antenna channels. It was fine and they broke it with software.
