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!
