Server Version#:1.42.2.10156 and 10492 Player Version#: Roku - current For the last ~2 weeks, playing content from my local PMS via Roku has been problematic - specifically, starting playback. I select something in my library, click play, and I get a spinning circle. It continues a long time, and often either just hangs or gives me an error. This only seems to be happening on Roku, but I don’t know if /when the roku app was updated. I tried rolling back the server from10492 to 10156 because I saw reports of this issue happening with this server build - but the rollback doesn’t seem to help. Once something starts to play, it’s usually fine, but if I stop it and try to start again, the same thing happens. Restarting PMS or even the computer it’s on sometimes helps temporarily and sometimes not. This is happening consistently but as I said, it started within a week or two. Suggestions? ---
