Recently reports coming from Roku users are reporting that some apps are not working well, throw network errors or just crash. Everything would have started after a recent update.
According to user reports, some apps on Roku started to take a long time to open, while others never did it.
The problems reportedly started after the arrival of the v10.5 Roku update. This update seems to have been forced by the devices, so users could not have avoided it.
At the moment, there is no official statement from Roku on the matter. Therefore, it is not known if they are aware of the problem, or if they are working to fix it.
Workaround
You might try doing a restart with a clear cache.
The code for this is the following:
1. Home button 5 times.
2. Up arrow once.
3. rewind button twice ( << )
4. fast forward button twice (>>)
You'll know you have it correct when the screen scrolls menu text and then eventually reboots.
I always use this whenever my Roku acts up.
