srowley 0 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) Sorry, this is my first time posting here, so please forgive me if I am not following protocol. I was updated to the new Roku app, and have been having trouble since. Basically, whenever I go to a movie detail view, the display goes into a frenzy that would give an epileptic nightmares. The backdrop images cycles through the image, grey, black, etc. Related movies and actors also go on the fritz by showing up and then disappearing. I tried it on both my Roku 2 (2015 model) and Roku Express. My friend also had the same issues when connecting to my server. We did notice that we didn't have the issues connecting to his server. I updated to the latest version: 3.2.17.0, so there is nothing to do there. Process of elimination tells me it's something having to do with my server, but I'm not sure what it could be. Any help is greatly appreciated. Edited May 23, 2017 by srowley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speechles 1911 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) As a test, can you try using this app: https://my.roku.com/account/add?channel=EmbyBlueNeon Is there any difference with the images? Also, are you using premiere? If not, make sure use enhanced images isnt enabled. Are you using https for your server? If so, can you try again using just http on the server. Roku does not like self-signed certs. Last one, if you click into "Device Info" in the options row of the blue neon app linked above, what is shown for "Version"?

srowley 0 Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 speechles, thanks for the response. I downloaded the Blue Neon app, and my Roku version is 047.60E04125A I am not using Emby Premiere, so I checked the enhanced images settings and it was already disabled. I am using http for the Roku. I also attempted to disable backdrop images and that doesn't seem to be doing anything. And finally, I'm not sure what you mean by difference with the images. I'm not sure what I'm comparing to. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14861 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hi. I don't think a comparison to BN will help in this case as everything is completely different with our new app. Can you please follow the instructions for sending a log from the app here? Thanks.

srowley 0 Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 I sent the debug log at 15:28 UTC time. The user logged in was 'Shane' I was in the movie detail view and every image tile loaded and disappeared indefinitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14861 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 And it was doing all that during that session? How long did you let it sit? There is nothing unusual in the log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speechles 1911 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) The app is too busy for your device unfortunately. I bet all resources are in use, and garbage collection is responsible for blanking your images. To confirm this, you need to install developer mode on your roku. See here: https://blog.roku.com/developer/2016/02/04/developer-setup-guide/ After getting your device into developer mode, setting a developer password, and the roku reboots thats all you need to do. Then try to telnet the roku on port 8080. telnet [roku ip here] 8080 You should get a > prompt meaning you are in. Once you are in the console, type free and paste what shows up. When the roku runs less than 25MB of free space it will induce constant garbage collection. The video player must have at least 25MB of cache space or the video player will crash/reboot the roku during buffering. Is anyone else running express or express+ and having this problem? How many apps do you have on your roku2? For the same thing to affect a roku2 would require you have a ton of apps installed, and no sd card in the slot to add capacity.

srowley 0 Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 I have an 8GB SD card in the slot. and 50 apps installed. I will check with the dev mode this week. Thanks for your feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
