Spotify on roku freezes

[Lucius3]

Since adding video support for roku specifically when watching Joe Rogan, the app consistently freezes after a few minutes in at which point you eventually crash back to the home screen. Others have reported this on the roku support forums. Eventually a roku employee replied and said to report it to spotify support.

Thanks for reading 😁

Hey there @thechit and @Lucius3!

Spotify are aware of certain issues with video podcast playback on some "big screen" devices, but quite a few of them can be helped or improved with some troubleshooting.

This is why we recommend checking  if using a different network makes a difference. It's also a good idea to try and clear the cache on your Roku device, I found these steps which should guide you through that.

We're working on improving the app integration on Roku. We're not able to provide a direct timeline for a fix, but we recommend keeping Spotify up to date to get the latest fixes as soon as they come out. 

Let us know if there's anything else we can do for you!

Still happening? Have u tried restarting your tv from power options a couple times and not just turning it on and off?

It’s officially broken. Use airplay or equivalent

Seems to vary for ppl.

Works most of the time for me now. Once in awhile itll hangup with the buffer wheel but its an easy fix

Some users have found workarounds, such as using AirPlay or screen mirroring from a phone or computer to watch the video content on their Roku devices.
