I am personally enjoying the blocks of similar programming. At times I love the jarring juxtapositions driven by the main channel, but other times this new model is great. I see it as halfway between the main channel and comfy, less jarring than main, less comfy than comfy!
I really wish the dev team over at Discovery would stop breaking things in the #Max app on #Roku.
Now, in order to use captions, you have to go back to the Roku home, turn captions off on your Roku, then go back into the Max app and turn captions on in the app when you start the episode.
You have to repeat that whole process for each individual episode you want to watch. If you start an episode with captions already turned on, they won't work. #a11y
On the way out there was an abandoned samsung TV on my road and on my way home it was still there.
I decided to test it out, what do I have to lose?
Well, it has a very smol line of deadpixels but I actually don't care. I'm broke, it's free and it doesn't go into landfill so it's not wasteful.
I'm going to need to buy a cable for it becaue it's currently borrowing the cable from my PC and maybe one of those USB/HDMI thingies that you plug in with a remote like a roku, google cast or something.
(If I had paid for it the dead pixels definately would have bothered me.)
Re #CBCGem on #Roku "There is currently no CBCGem App on Roku because we have not developed one as of yet. There are plans to start developing one later in the year but unfortunately, we cannot provide any timeline as to when this would be available." - Not very satisfactory.
Anyone have any knowledge on why a Roku device wouldn't allow me to use the REST API for the remote. I tried this last night but for whatever reason it's giving me bad requests / forbidden. I'm using the Python Roku library and it seems that everyone other than me has figured this out.
Assume:
I know what I'm doing Python-wise
That I am not throwing out my Roku to use whatever pet software you use to stream archive.org and Peertube.
