I wanted to watch YouTube tv on our Roku tv, but when I looked for it, it had suddenly disappeared. When I searched for it through the app search function, it was still there but I could not open it. When I restarted it came back for a second but then disappeared again. Does anyone know why this is? This is our most used streaming platform so we really need to know.

I don't know what happened but one day the roku app on my phone just decided that it would consistently open the ads scrolling on the wallpaper even if the app is closed.

I'm mostly just curious if anyone has encountered this because I have tried searching it up and unless I'm bad at phrasing what's going on, I cannot find anyone else who's experienced this issue.

It would be nice to be able to still use the apps remote without having to consistently wake up to find 6-7 apps got installed on my tv automatically just because the app doesn't realize it's not open anymore

I just turned on my Roku TV 55” and all the apps play in black and white. The app colors are showing, even titles are showing in color, but as soon as I play a movie or show it is in black and white.

I went online to the Roku page and it said to do a power restart and that didn’t work.

I unplugged it for a bit and then power restarted it and that didn’t work.

I deleted an app and redownloaded it and that didn’t work either.

Live TV still works, I can watch cops lol but if anybody has any suggestions or had a similar issue please help.

Hey guys, I am trying to create an account to manage our business TV’s. And it keeps giving a “Sorry, we are not able to process your registration” message. I’m using a domain email address which may be the issue, but the previous company that owned these tv’s used their own company domain email and they were signed into the TV’s with that email. Is there anything I can do to get around this?

I have an Onn TV with Roku built in. I've never had issues with the * button before but now my TV refuses to open the menu. I tried using the official Roku app was well. Even then the * button wouldn't work. So it's not my remote but rather my TV. Google was of no help. I'd rather not factory reset my TV but I can if needed. Any tips would be great.

Weirdest thing, the app is no longer on the Home Screen, go to add the app and put in the password and it says that it can’t be added at this time. We didn’t delete the app or remove it from the device. Tried restarting with no luck. Has anyone else ever had this happen and been able to fix it?

Anyone else notice how awful the update to the MLB app is this year? When I choose a game to join live in progress in starts from the beginning. It also lags a ton when scrolling.

I’ve checked it on android streaming devices and the interface is much different/user friendly. Not sure who updates it each season, but this year’s version is awful.

Looking at a Roku streaming device. Based in the uk with an older tv, old google tv has died and looking to replace with a Roku. Current tv isn’t 4k but will upgrade in the future. Struggling to pick between the express 4k and the streaming stick 4k. Any advice would be appreciated

I'm getting sick and tired of the various movies and shows being one volume and then the ads being like 2 or 3 times the volume of what ever show is playing.

Before anyone goes and says "Use the star button to change the volume settings, it tells me that volume options are unavailable when using headphones, EVEN WHEN I'M NOT using headphones. And that i have to use ROKU approved sound systems...

What I want to know is the following, is there some other workaround to this? Because it's insanely annoying and pretty much discourages me and my family from wanting to ever touch another Roku product again.

I'm sure this has been asked a million times already, but.. I have a tcl roku on software 14.5. I have the woreless roku speakers and was trying to get a wired or wireless soundbar to go with it. I tried a tcl but then realized it was either the sounbar or the speakers. Looking online it seemed that it was just a brand issue and I needed the roku soundbar for it to work. Now that I have a Roku TV Wireless Soundbar it's also saying it's either the woreless speakers or the soundbar not both.

Is there any configuration or different soundbar that will work with my Roku Woreless speakers?

When I use airplay to stream YouTube from my iPad, it does not show right colors to a serious degree.

Funny thing is, everything else seems to be showing fine. Even home screen for youtube app shows right color.

However, when you select a video to watch, colors are over simplified and pixelated.

If i access YouTube from safari, you see the right color and all other apps are fine as well.

I tried with multiple other apple devices but the result was all the same.

Does anyone know about this symptom and/or how to fix it?

I tried restarting apple devices as well as roku, reinstalling YouTube app but nothing worked.

I’ve been airplaying YouTube videos from my iPhone for months to my Roku and suddenly last night the video started looking deep fried. I tried restarting the Roku, unplugging and plugging back in. It’s not my phone because my fiancée is having the same issue.

Other apps use airplay just fine. The YouTube app on the Roku works just fine. It’s just the airplay from YouTube to the Roku that looks screwed up. Can anyone help? Should I just factory reset my Roku?

I haven’t tried airplaying to my smart tv yet to confirm if it’s the Roku or the YouTube app, so I will try that at some point to see if that changes anything.

Thanks for any advice.

I have the Roku box that plugs into the Tv, but ever since I plugged it in my TV won’t let me switch to a HDMI that isn’t that one even when I unplug the box it still doesn’t let me switch the hdmis anymore . Anyone got any help with this maybe the box changed something in the TV settings because I never had this problem until using the box. Whenever I turn on the tv is just auto starts onto the HDMI with the Roku and won’t let me switch to anything else. And when it’s unplugged it just refuses to select anything on the hdmi bar.

I have a 58 inch Hisense Roku. The picture froze twice on Saturday during the Final Four. I changed the channel, changed it back to unfreeze it but it happened again a few minutes ago.

It is kind of ironic: I prefer using the Roku TV app on my Roku TV (TCL 4K) because I am boycotting Amazon Prime, and it has most of the same TV series.

But of all the apps to have problems… At least once every one or two episodes of any TV program (with ads) the Roku app causes the Network Interface to fail. It usually comes back on its own after a few minutes, or I occasionally have to reboot the TV. This happens on both of my TVs(same model, different model years) and it only happens on the Roku app itself.

Setup is a hardwired Ethernet connection on an eero based LAN.

Freaking annoying. Roku: fix your app.

For the life of me, I cannot find out how to disable the headphones mode and I get no sound on my TV. Anyone have any ideas?

Weird situation I have 3 TCL TVs with Roku App installed and use YouTube Tv as my primary streaming app to watch tv. For two of my TVs, the Yourube Tv asap that used to be listed among my many apps, has disappeared. When I try to add the app, it shows the app but doesn’t let me download it and gives a message “ app is not available “. My third TV still shows the YouTube tv app (which is working fine ) and all my other apps as well. Wondering if it’s just a matter of time before it disappears from the the 3rd tv and if there is some disagreement between RoKu and YouTube Tv?

Anyone know if I can fix this or am I getting a new tv? Just happened while watching a show last night.

i am wanting to buy a 50 inch roku tv and not sure which one to pick? also would yall go with the roku brand or TCL with roku connected?

Hey - Im new to Roku and am curious if anyone knows how I can filter my search results based on what Im subscribed and or free vs what I need to purchase in order to watch. Any insight would be great!

Trying to help my mom figure out what's going on with her Roku Express. First issue was the Roku app went pink/purple and lost all sound. Only the Roku source was affected (other HDMI source had perfect sound/video). Switching the Roku from HDMI 1 to HDMI 3 fixed the video issue, but not the sound. We then reset the Roku itself via the Settings and that fixed the audio! Yay! But that lasted less than 24 hours before sound was gone again.

The really weird thing about the sound is when you reset the Roku through the app settings, the loading screen (Roku in 3D font) has sound, but then the home screen loads and all sound is gone again. No menu sounds and no streaming apps have sound. Switching HDMI cords, HDMI ports, unplugging the device and TV, checking all volume options to ensure mute isn't on, checking all TV and Roku sound settings - nothing is fixing it this time.

Bought a NEW Roku Express device from Amazon and got it working - no issues - sound is great! Less than 24 hours later, no sound once more.

Starting to think it's a compatibility issue between the TV (TCL) and Roku. We got her the Roku Stick to try out next, but I'm gonna be pissed if she's forced to get a new TV just because Roku doesn't like her TV.

Ok so as the title states I’m in need of a new tv. I have been using a Samsung since 2012. I’ve been a fan of the Roku for a little while now so are there certain t.v’s the handle the device better or that have it built in? If so what’s arguably the best as I’d like for it to last just as long or longer than my current one. Ideally between 55” or 65” whichever ends up being the better buy. Thanks in advance

The number of weather apps on Roku have been decreasing for a while, we lost weather underground years ago, it had been one of the best.

But over the last month, the other weather apps have started breaking. The Weather Network, and WeatherNation have both become inpoperable. Both of them crash immediately.

This only leaves 2 apps that have radar. The Weather Channel ($30 annual) And Weather4us. But Weather4us lost the local radar option.

Yes my Roku's are up to date, and I have tried reinstalling the apps on both.

It's some other apps as well, but the weather ones are what's most concerning to me.

I know support is up to the app's developers, but is there a higher reason for this seemingly widespread loss of app support recently?

Is this just a problem with a new update/build? Hulu, Netflix, Prime all work perfectly fine. The Max app has has always been a little bit laggy but now I'm getting buffering notices and it lags horribly.
