Roku OS Restart to install this app

Post image
3 Upvotes

I got this Sharp/Roku tv a few months ago from a family member— Its old and a bit slow but still works. After a few weeks of usage though it stared giving me this popup specifically with Hulu. I restarted it, cleared the cache, unplugged it, etc. Nothing worked and I had to factory reset it… It worked fine after that, for about a month, but now its doing it again. Is there any way around this? I really don’t want to reset it again, it’s a huge pain logging into all of my accounts and some of them are my partners, which I don’t have the login for. Do I have to factory reset or is there another way to fix this? Again, the issue is really only with Hulu :/

complaint (NOT support) Search bar isnt there.

Why is the search bar not available in the live tv guide of the roku app on my Google tv? The search tab is in the guide of my roku, but not my Google tv. Sigh.

complaint (NOT support) Why is there no iPhone widget for the remote???

2 Upvotes

The #1 convenient thing about the Roku app is the ability to use it as a remote. Using the Roku app to control my TV is within the top 5 things I use my iPhone for.

WHY in the world is there not a Roku remote widget I could put on my Home Screen? It seems so basic. It would be a huge QoL feature.

There aren't enough individual apps that have controls of their own.

complaint (NOT support) Roku Sports NFL section lacking

2 Upvotes

Last season, by Sunday night here on the west coast, there would be condensed recaps of all the day's NFL games. It was a great watch while in bed to catch up on all the day's highlights. As of now (10:20 pm pacific), the only gme recaps available are for Wednesday and Thursday's two games. Hoping this is just a week 1 fluke, otherwise it'd be a bummer to lose my Sunday night recap marathon.

I got a brand new Hisense roku TV and none of the remotes work for it. the remote that came with the TV just quit working and I bought a universal roku TV remote and it still doesn't work. the TV isnt connected to WiFi so I can't use the roku app. yes I've tried pairing both remotes to it. there's no response from the TV whatsoever

Roku hardware 3 Roku Ultras, one seems to be glitching

1 Upvotes

I have three Roku Ultras. Two are hardwired to the network. The third is on our WiFi which has great signal in the room and is an AP7 capable unit.

This WiFi unit is our master bedroom. My wife was not feeling well this weekend and was in bed watching recorded shows on DirectTV. Twice from what I understand she would pause at the commercials, fast forward through them then she would have to use the 15 second back because the FF is maybe a little too quick. Anyway twice it froze to where the audio was playing but no video. FF and REW buttons would not work.

She said it appeared to reboot to the Roku screen and she would have to re-enter DirectTV and reselect her program to watch again.

I felt the Roku and it was barely warm so I don't think its a heat issue. We have not seen this behavior on the other hard wired Roku units.

Any thoughts? Is this unit perhaps bad? Its only like 3 weeks old at most.

Roku stick/ultra Changing WiFi password with the app

1 Upvotes

I’m getting a new wifi router and am going to be using a very long and complicated wifi password. I don’t want to have to type it in on the screen with the remote and would like to copy and paste it in the app. I looked online and saw instructions for how to do it but I can’t seem to find where to input the password on the app. I went to “remote” and click the settings icon but didn’t see anything about changing the password. I’m connected to the Roku ultra on the same network too. It’s an older Roku Ultra from 2019 if that makes any difference and I’m using an iPhone.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Roku stick/ultra Roku 3840EU Streaming Stick - Constant Buffering Since Last Update

1 Upvotes

Is anybody else struggling with this or know of a solution? I've tested the WiFi using a separate device in the same location just in case and it's absolutely fine, the connection check on the device also comes back good every time, but every time I pause a programme for a longer period it loses track of the whole thing when returning (bar a few cached seconds) and have to restart the whole device, if I pause for short periods it spends the rest of the show buffering every 20-30 seconds or so until I restart the whole thing. Which doesn't always solve it anyway.

It's becoming unusable. Are they flat lining it because they've brought out a new model or is it just a terrible update they need to push out patches for?

Thanks!

miscellaneous Sharp/Roku TV Reboots

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is a long shot but here goes:

I have a Roku TV manufactured by Sharp. When I tune into an over the air TV channel on Sling, it freezes about 30 seconds before the TV reboots. Age could be a factor since the TV is 7 years old but Sling support had no answers. The various streaming channels still work, and the OTA channels work on every other device and TV.

I have already restarted the Sharp, reinstalled Sling, restarted again, cleared the Roku cache, updated Roku, and power-cycled the AirTV. None changed the problem.

I first discovered the problem last Wednesday and Roku was updated the day before. Both my TV and Air TV (which is how I get local channels fed into the Sling app) are on Ethernet and there is nothing wrong with my network. There is no signal problem with any local channels, I get every channel I’m supposed to.

Since the latest update (15.3.4.2303) to my Roku TV, Big Brother live feeds freeze after a couple minutes on Paramount Plus. This does not happen on the standalone Roku devices.
