    @VuduSupport Hello there. My Vudu app on Roku has been glitching out the past week. Help! Half the screen goes dark, words and pics scrambled.

  • BenDMitchell Ben Mitchell (@BenDMitchell) reported from West Chester, Pennsylvania

    @TeamYouTube I’m getting frustrated. I have written you many times now about the first few seconds of videos being muted on the Roku. I have submitted MULTIPLE feedback reports and have heard nothing and the issue persists. What else can I do?

  • distorken Alexis (@distorken) reported

    @Crunchyroll Since you updated UI, I'm having issues with to roku app. Sometimes works and most of the times don't. Change the UI the way it was before if you can't fix the new one. I don't know why raise the prices if you can't fix the bugs from the roku app.

    @AppleTV Please fix how completely trash your dysfunctional app is on roku. People like me would like to give u money if u could deliver. Do u like money?

  • EllingHofland Elling Hofland (@EllingHofland) reported

    @mdotto9 @TeamYouTube This is happening here too on Roku. Keeps happening in the middle commercials. They glitch a few times then the playback error pops up.

  • NancyEFrye Nancy Frye (@NancyEFrye) reported

    Hey @hulu: Been trying 2 cancel subscription (via Roku) for weeks, and you're now billing me for a service I never use. Every attempt to reset my password so I can log in goes nowhere (yes, I check trash/spam). Your "help" page wants my credit card info but I subbed w/ Paypal.🤯

  • nadinenocero Nadine Nocero-Tye (@nadinenocero) reported

  • _ayeitsummer Summer Dawn 7🌻 (@_ayeitsummer) reported

    @OGFistYaMoms Once you get a new remote it should just work I lost all of my remotes for my Roku TVs and I just had to order them on amazon and they worked

  • NeonEcho1 Neon Echo (@NeonEcho1) reported

    @WretchedMorgan Roku is really good. But there is some terrible dross in the apps. There are a few strange gems. Lexx, the science fiction series, is hidden somewhere on the Roku Channel, free. Or it was the other month.

  • leonts9dx PonoDB (@leonts9dx) reported

    Is @disneyplus down? Doesn’t work on my Roku, iPad, I can view on my iPhone but when I click Mandalorian I get a big blue OK button and nothing else

  • Shan_OHea shan (@Shan_OHea) reported

    hbo max not being available on my roku when we’re about to go into a second lockdown is both a first world problem and a human rights violation

  • hoody_two_shoes Donny Hood (@hoody_two_shoes) reported

    @PlutoTV When using the Roku app, I can’t even get the guide to come on. It just goes to the latest channel I watched. Evidently this is a problem on your end as a lot of people have been complaining.

  • carowine219 Carol (@carowine219) reported

    @SlobbyG Lmao I’m lucky my bestie had her own roku already but I have to buy her another one for Christmas so she can watch our fav shows with midgets (there’s more than 1 of our fav shows w midgets) without her bf getting mad so we’re all doing the charity work here

  • SeanNarrates Sean C. Duregger (@SeanNarrates) reported

    @Schofizzy @Roku @hbomax Family room doesn't have a video game system. That's the issue.

  • AdamMaddox_ Adam Maddox (@AdamMaddox_) reported

    @GoCards_AP I didn’t even think about that. Myself and my daughter have Roku sticks in our rooms and, I don’t have issues on either tv. Just my living room tv and I’ve honestly had such horrible luck with anything not Roku, but I may give that a try!

  • mariiiiieee_ chardonnay💜 (@mariiiiieee_) reported

    who have roku tvs? do y’all have problems with it?

  • TooLowFurYa Zach Sciortino (@TooLowFurYa) reported

    @Xfinity Fyi this is still a problem. On a roku tv the xfinity app does not work if your not on your home network. Works fine on the phone tho.....

  • DETROITLarry17 Mr. Detroit (@DETROITLarry17) reported

    @YoungArnold Pretty sure it probably your roku. Never once had an issue on two different roku’s.

  • bjr12777 Brian Runyon (@bjr12777) reported

    @acbnational Seems there's trouble with arranging audio description for Hulu and Disney+ on the Roku device. No audio and subtitles set up, as on Netflix.

  • ducdemontebello ducdemontebello (@ducdemontebello) reported

    This is why Apple was willing to offer (quietly) Amazon a bigger revenue cut to put Amazon Prime Video on the Apple TV. Not having Prime Video was a real problem for Apple TV — the sort of thing that would make a customer decide to go buy a Roku stick instead. "

  • RuckCohlchez Allen Pervert (@RuckCohlchez) reported

    @hulu_support My system says all software is up to date. The advice on your help page gives how to check the Roku version number but doesn't say what the latest version IS.

  • counterfeitdad counterfeit (@counterfeitdad) reported

    actually wait this one is megami ibun roku in japan this might not work ****

  • intermediacy jenberry sauce 🦃 (@intermediacy) reported

    @JillofArcades Yep. Some Roku devices/TVs (mine included) can now do AirPlay from Apple devices (which I never expected, since Apple is quite insular) but no actual app yet. Also, I tested it Wedsnesday and it worked frine but went to actually use it yesterday and it didn't work, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • strong_coffee71 🍁Green loves 💚 BabyYoda 🍂 (@strong_coffee71) reported

    @OnlyRedNow Not yet. I’ve tried everything. I can stream on my phone or Roku, but it’s just not working on my IPad. I found out my husband installed a VPN, so I deleted it (Disney blocks them), then deleted & reinstalled Disney app. I’m at a loss.

  • Hayvock Joshua Butler (@Hayvock) reported

    @TeamYouTube Like the time settings are set to my actual time zone EST and I can’t even begin to tell you the amount of times I’ve re-installed this app. I’ve seen a similar issue on Roku devices but the tricks to solve that can’t be done on the Xbox platform.
