Hi - I am having serious issues downloading and streaming content on my Deco x60. In particular, streaming or downloading content on Netflix is a problem (on my ipad, iphone, and tvs). I frequently get an error. I have also tried changing my IPv4 DNS, turned off (and on) beamforming and fast roarming.
In addition to the netflix issues, other streaming services sometimes do not work. Finally, when I try to download large files for work, it only downloads 3-5MB of the total and then stops and says download failed.
On all of the devices, other services, such as google, youtube, etc. work and have no issues. And when I test the internet speed, it says I have no problems, with over 100 Mbps down and 40 mbps up. Thank you for your help.
I was testing it again, and it seems like it isnt as much of an issue when I am connected to the main deco, only to the mesh ones. Not sure if it matters, but I am using ethernet cables to backlink with the main deco. The problem is that I am mainly connected the mesh / endpoint decos, not the main one. Also, it appears that if I connect to the main deco (over wifi), download something on netflix, and then go to a different area and use the mesh, streaming sometimes works for a short period of time, then fails again.
I have two 50" TCL Ruku Tvs. One purchased in 2021 and one in 2022. Netflix doesn't work on either one. Its shuts down or freezes. No issues on my Samsung with a Ruku plug-in. No issues with any other app on all 3 Tv's. I've deleted the app, reinstalled, reset ect.......... My guess is its a TCL issue. Just documenting this. TCL TVs are cheap, but I would avoid.
We appreciate you letting us know about the issue you are experiencing when streaming Netflix. Have you tried contacting TCL or Netflix? If the issue persists on one channel after attempting the troubleshooting steps and videos from other channels play fine, please contact the channel provider's customer support team to report the issue and get help. The channel developers themselves maintain channels on Roku. There might be an issue within that specific channel that needs to be addressed with an update from them. You can check here for the TV support contact list and channel contact list.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help you.
All the best,
Eunice
I just tested this stupid tracker ID thing and the app just kicks me to the Home Screen at this point and no tracker ID shows up. I know for a fact you have a lot of customers complaining about this and if your problems is not being able to get the tracker ID that will continue to be a problem. Might I suggest that Roku simply get one of these and test it on their own not leaving half the work to the community? I crashed it again while talking and still no tracker ID.
We wanted to let you know that we are continuing to investigate your reported issue and hope to provide you with a more detailed update when additional information is available. Thanks for your continued patience.Do not hesitate to let us know if you have any additional feedback.
I just read this thread. I also have been having the same problems with Netflix. This is a new TCL Roku TV and ONLY Netflix is giving me issues. All the other streaming apps work fine. I have also followed all the steps that are all over you tube and here as well from unplugging, to reinstalling we etc etc and nothing.
So I bought a Philips smart TV with the Roku features. Things have been fine up until last week. My wife and I were watching a show on Netflix when it shut the app off and continued to do this. Now the issue has begun with YouTube.
Firstly, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused your streaming with Netflix, YouTube, and the Weather Network channels on your Roku streaming devices. No worries! We're here to provide troubleshooting steps to help you get back on streaming.
Furthermore, Check Network Speed: Ensure your Wi-Fi connection is stable and performing well because sometimes, even with fiber optics, fluctuations in speed or signal strength can cause delays.
I'm having the same issue with Netflix and the Weather network on the roku devices, tried updating and reloading the apps, made no difference. All other streaming devices work fine only roku not working properly. Having difficulty getting help from roku. Not sure what to do next.
It's troubling that we pay for the devices just to have issues not long after. I got my father a Roku TV and have a Roku device hooked up to this other TV and never once has had an issue at all. I don't get it.
I have done these steps as you've suggested and that's a no fix solution. Maybe Roku needs to do a proper investigation than sitting here giving little useless fix it "solutions". My network speed is fine as is everything else. Just doesn't like YouTube and Netflix as far as I know.
Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the issue you are experiencing with Netflix and YouTube while streaming. We appreciate the time you took to follow the troubleshooting steps suggested by @RokuCarly. However, we understand that the issue still persists, and we would like to assist you further.

The feedback from your customer service in India is: Root cause of the problem with both the channel will be the issue with their App server platform to our server platform which can be resolved by doing couple of trouble shooting step and if the issue persist they channel partner should be contacted for further assistance as we do not have any further access to their App.
The first movie I tried to play after updating to 1.08.17 in Netflix was Open Season 3. The movie has some crazy ghosting/pixelation going on. You only have to play the first minute or two and please let me know if you get the same. Other movies I have tried so far play fine. If anyone could report back and let me know how it plays for you on the SMP I would be most appreciative.
EDIT: Just tested this movie in Netflix on a Boxee Box and it plays fine.
EDIT2: My box is wired and I have a 15 megabit connection to the internet
EDIT3: Other movies effected are The Secret of Kells and Open Season 2
Well I found a fix BUT not the kind of fix I wanted. I logged into netflix.com and went to my account /manage video quality and changed it from BEST QUALITY to BETTER QUALITY and the issue is gone. Any thoughts???
After 2 calls to netflix my issue still persists. They are looking into the issue and told me I should receive and email in 24-48 hours. Here is a bandwidth chart from the same movie streamed from Netflix on a Boxee Box using the same ethernet cable. As you can see there is quite a difference in the average transmission rate.
It appears that the Boxee Box is limited to a 720p stream from Netflix while the Live SMP can pull a full 1080p stream. This is why Boxee can stream these movies no problem while Live SMP has issues. There is an issue somewhere with the 1080p encodes or the way the Live SMP handles the stream.
I repeatedly have issues with Netflix using Streambar sound bar which I've hard wired into my network. My daughter, who is 15 miles away, has the same issues streaming Netflix on her Roku TV using wireless.
If you let 3 or more previews play, or you dare to rewind or fast forward in a show, the sound & picture refuse to line up anymore and the sound will just start cutting out all together. Some times the program just cuts out and forces a reboot of the Streambar. Other times I do it manually, but getting really tired of having to reboot all the time.
Try removing the channel from the Roku home screen by navigating to the channel tile, pressing the * key on your remote, and choosing 'Remove channel'. Then restart your device from Settings>System>System restart. Once your player starts up again, add the channel back once more.
Hello Roku team. I have the exact same issue as the user above described, and the removal/reinstallation solution you suggested didn't work. Have there been any other discussions about this issue that you've seen? It is only specific to Netflix and no other apps have issues.
Can you please provide us the following information:
-Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and software OS/version (these can all be found in Settings > System > About)
-does this issue occur on a specific channel? if so, what channel and what version/build is the channel (this can be found be selecting the channel on the Home screen and pressing the * button)
-tracker ID when this issue occurs (when you see this issue occur, press the Home button 5 times, followed by the Back button 5 times)
-steps to reproduce the issue you are seeing
I tried removing and re-adding the Netflix channel when I first noticed the problem, but it didn't fix it. There is no specific series of events that happens each time this glitch occurs, unfortunately. The sound simply goes in and out, and/or the video freezes randomly or plays out of sync with the sound. Now we have realized it is also happening with the Amazon Prime app as well. It's very frustrating.
Hi. I have the same problem. I fact, I had the problem with a Smart Soundbar and had hoped the problem was fixed with the Streambar. No. I have uninstalled/reinstalled Netflix numerous times (rebooting in between) with no success. This needs to be fixed.
I'm in a suburb of Dallas, TX. My gateway is the Sagecom and the firmware version is SGJi10105-1.1.52. I've had this gateway for 2-3 months and it shipped with this firmware version. The Android Netflix app on my phone functions and I am able to access Netflix via browser on a Windows 11 PC. Netflix menu pages load slowly on the browser but it does appear to stream okay once you get that far. Other sites load without issue. In a new and possibly unrelated twist, the gateway has lost internet several times in the last 12 hours, though connection to the cell site was still shown as excellent. Most of this was between 10 PM and midnight last night. The timing makes me wonder if this might have been related to maintenance, though that sort of activity should normally occur between midnight and 4 AM.
