  • New to Roku after finally cutting the cable cord, 2 questions.
    "Question 2: I bought two Roku Ultras" - You activate both Rokus on the same account on roku.com. I've had a Roku Ultra for some time and recently bought a Roku Express 4K for the guest bedroom for visiting relatives. When I activated the new Roku on my account it automatically duplicated all my apps on to the new one. But test each app, a few required me to log in on the new Roku. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Any fellow coders out there familiar with ripping encrypted HLS streams? I've found a site that is using every protection in the book to prevent stream ripping and would love to chat
    Can something similar be done on roku.com? I tried following your steps for this video https://therokuchannel.roku.com/watch/67ca18fb4816521db4f188855569c21e but I noticed the type is not hls but mp4. There was a file that started with index instead of ending with index but much more complex then the sample video used in the example above. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Just got this 50” roku sharp tv and tried setting up last night only to be met with this message everytime i try to click a channel. It’s saying there’s an “excellent” internet and wifi connection and yet nothing works on it. i have tried everything in the book including 2 factory resets i’m lost
    Did you reset the device & re-set it up on roku.com to be 'owned' by you? Source: over 1 year ago
  • No Search Bar?
    Certain features will be missing in unsupported countries. You can see our list of supported countries by navigating to roku.com and trying the county selector option at the bottom right hand of the page. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Unauthorized Roku charges through my Paypal account.
    Easier said than done with an elderly parent, but have your mom go to roku.com, reset her password, and give you the password. Then you should be able to go in and remove any payment method (presumably your PayPal), cancel any subscriptions, etc. Source: over 1 year ago

  • [NL/EU] Where can I buy a downloadable copy of the series?
    You might also want to look into the website cytu.be, where you can create your own channel to watch Google Drive-hosted videos, YouTube, Vimeo, etc., synced up for multiple users. It also has a chat room and other features. This may or may not work better for you than what you’re already doing with Discord. Source: 5 months ago
  • Can anyone recommend a TV that works for simultaneous viewing?
    You can open the websites https://w2g.tv/en/ or https://cytu.be/ on any "second life tv" which are streaming websites that let you synch video playlists to watch online with your friends. Source: 12 months ago
  • Can I use the Watch Together function for sites other than YouTube?
    I use https://cytu.be/ all the time with my brother. Just create an account and a room. You can queue YouTube videos and it syncs between all parties. Source: almost 1 year ago
  • I rarely donated and am not a paypig.
    Been using sflix.to lately, also if you want a dope place where people chat and stream check out cytu.be it's like like twitch when it was justintv. Source: about 1 year ago
  • lonesco's rhinoceros
    To invite other people to join your channel, copy the URL of your channel page and share it with them. They can also find your channel by browsing or searching on https://cytu.be/. Source: about 1 year ago
