Roku - can we still change the default tab?

[ZanderKeen 83]

I have a Roku device that I used to be able to change the default tab when you open the "movies" or "TV Shows" folder from My Media to Genres instead of always opening in Suggestions. Is that still possible with the new version ? Am I missing something? I have it working fine on all the other platforms... Anyone? @ebr

Hi.  It would only always open in Suggestions if that's where you were last in that library.  It will remember the tab you were on when you last used that library.

They have for some reason removed the ability to set a default tab on the Roku.  Now, if you happen to visit another tab, then next time it will take you there and you have to navigate back to the one you normally want.  It's not hard, but it's out of line with the other clients (unless they plan to change them all!), and just that bit less convenient than it used to be.

Yes it is something we've talked about and we're using Roku to test the waters.

This has been out for a while and very few people have even noticed.  I really think that most people utilize one tab 90% of the time in the libraries so returning there works.  We'll continue to monitor (knowing full well, the only people who will tell us anything will be the ones that don't like it).
