Does anyone know why the YouTube app on the Roku tv isn't working? Every other app works but that one. And it's not YouTube TV it's just regular YouTube. I thought that was still supposed to work.

@Creagarmania @Roku @Google What doesn't work between them? After reading Disney-War, I firmly believe none of these corporations care about anything but their egos.

So is it no longer free to access others' @plex media servers using the free version of Plex via Roku or the web? I've been having connectivity issues to three different media servers for a week now and they're all confirmed up and running.

@HBOMaxHelp Fix your Roku app while you’re at it. It’s garbage and freezes nonstop or won’t play at all. I don’t experience this with any other of my apps

@F1Help I had to sign out and sign back into my account AS PER NORMAL just to watch FP1 today on Roku. You people need to fix your app glitches or make the sign in process easier on TVs. It’s annoying spending 5mins signing in every time I want to watch something

@kmosier42 I've gone back and forth with Google for help. I've checked my internet speeds in that part of the room and they are great. My Roku is wired to my LAN. I could get a $20 adapter from Google, but haven't yet.

Like, there is no benefit other than a slightly larger screen to screwing around with this ecosystem anymore. Youtube was a terrible experience on PS4, and it's not any better on Roku. Thanks to the Midroll apocalypse, YT is just not worth using without an adblocker

Shut It Down. So much dumb.
(@ShutItAIIDown) reported
@jingle__belle I had that problem years ago on my Roku. There was a timing setting I could use to adjust video/audio syncing but it wasn't perfect. But at some point the problem went away on its own. Haven't seen it on Roku, Nvidia Shield or PS4 streaming since.

Does anyone else’s @hbomax consistently crash their roku? Like. Every day I open this app I have to reset it over and over to get it to work. Reset as in unplug the roku sometimes cause I can’t even exit to the home screen. No other app does this.

@Roku @TheRokuChannel I'm thinking of shitting off my DirecTV and using your service. I can't find a list of the free channels that come with your service. List of cable/satellite channels. Thank you for any help you can give me.

@JerryCap Good read but I have to say the ads on Roku and/or Youtube TV are terrible. I'll watch a show and I will see that Nationwide commercial by Jill Scott everytime. Also the "enjoy the zen" commercials are wasted ad space.

@HBOMaxHelp Is there an issue on your end? My Roku keeps crashing, and it's not happening with other apps. I've restarted, checked for updates, and signed out and signed back in. Wtf is going on?

@MairseyDotes @sherman4949 It is consistently the worst tech in my house. By a lot. When everything else is connected to my router @Roku repeatedly can’t connect and tells I need to restart. This has happened across different devices and providers

@HBOMaxHelp Dear @HBOMaxHelp can you please fix the buffering issues on Roku, all of my other apps work great .. but I think the navigation is horrendous and starting from the middle of an episode is potluck
