Actually, I discovered the source of the problem. I have two Roku 2 players, an XS and an XD. The XS works just fine, with an occasional stop and re-buffering after the first minute and then no issues after that. It is the XD that won't stream any more with the latest Linux plex server.

I don't think it is a plex issue. I think it is a Roku issue, and it is time to get some new Roku hardware. They are pretty cheap on Amazon. A Roku 4 is less than $100.

Any suggestions from the group on the best upgrade for a Roku?

Thanks!

Holly crap, I'm not the only one! For me, the video seems to crap out after a commercial, or at least the 2 second black screen gap where a commercial was edited out. The audio continues, but the video is black. I have to back out of the video and then "resume" from where I was and then it's fine.

I'm also running a Roku on WiFi and it works fine with other apps. This also happened after the latest update.

I suspect Plex will patch this bug soon. They are usually on it with this kind of stuff. 

Thanks,

I have been running a plex media server on an older Debian laptop for years. I upgraded to the latest version (1.9.4.4325), and now it is not working. I am not sure how to diagnose this problem. I can't reload the older version I was using, as I don't remember which version it was.

I access plex through a Roku box connected to my LG TV using wifi. The symptoms are that the video quits after a few minutes. and the roku plex app dies, but not the plex server.  I can play movies through the plex server without any issue on a computer or Android table over Wifi or hard wired. Needless to say, the roku works just fine with Amazon, Netflix, etc.

I looked in the log files and don't see any error messages. I tried disabling the firewall on my plex server, and the symptoms are the same - the video starts and plays for a few minutes then the roku plex app goes away and I have to reconnect to the plex server. The plex server on the computer does not die.

Any suggestions for debugging this problem further would be greatly appreciated!
