on TCL Roku TV the home button used to close the plex app, now you have to hit the back button several times (depending how deep you are) to get to a screen to “exit” the app. this isn’t ideal because sometimes the app freezes and the only option is to reboot the TV, whereas before I could just hit the home button to exit the app.
is there a way programmatically to exit the app from say ecp commands?
Does the Home button still work from Netflix or Youtube?
Yes those apps and all others still close when I hit the home button.
To be clear the home button still goes to home, however it does not close the Plex app any longer.
How can you tell?
I have Hisense Roku TV’s not TCL.
because when i hit home, and open plex back up, it reloads to whatever plex screen i left it on.
Ah, ok. Sorry, none of this is helping you. Just being nosey.
Have you tried the Plex Preview version for Roku. That’s all I use.
that’s all i use as well. but just for the record, both versions are behaving the same.
Mine does the same thing with Plex. I just never noticed it I guess.
It does it with Netflix too.
I have two profiles. If I reboot the TV or enough time elapses I have to select a profile. If I go to Home and open Netflix again it opens to where I was.
I believe that’s expected, and was a Roku change. I like it a lot.
See the last two bullets:
I believe so too.
It’s the same with all of my Roku devices not just TV’s.
ya, i don’t necessarily mind the new function, I would just like to know if there is a way to force close it remotely. like with ecp commands.
