I also originally posted this in the Roku player forum but the responses were mostly bashing the 2XS.
I’m having problems playing x265 files on my 2XS. They will play fine for awhile, then will totally distort making them unwatchable. If I restart all is well until again it acts up.
Is this a known issue? It just started for me over the last few days. I’ve tried changing my profile level but its having no effect. They files play just perfect on other devices so it seems to be a Roku-only problem.
Heres the media info of one of the files if it helps any.
