@carboot_soul As part of the site redesign, the videos on site will all be categorized into their own shows at some point. When that happens, the shows will appear in the app without going through this beta process.

@rihaanshim Perhaps in the future. The Roku docs does mention support for live streaming. But this iteration is just to get a working app through Roku's approval process to replace the official one which is broken atm.

@dantez Well, this is an embarrassing mistake on my part. I've uploaded the wrong package. I've since uploaded the correct version. Please try the link again. You may need to run System Update in your Roku Settings to see the updated version. I had to do it on my end.

@dantez Highlight the GB app and hit the * key. Can you confirm that it says, "Version 2.1 - build 2".

@ebk Yes, same issue. In the previous build, the video url set was to the highest bitrate available to the user's account status. In this latest build, each video is given a set of different video qualities. The Roku would then choose the one that best fits the user's bandwidth. Unfortunately, it looks like the Roku can't handle the highest bitrate we offer. Might be Roku version related. I've taken out that video quality in this latest build.

@dantez When you say out of sync, do you mean the audio is not in sync with the video?

@nick What Roku version are you using and which videos did you see the stuttering on?

@retrodragon Any browser plugins that may have automatically blocked akamaized.net on accident? Ghostery, uBlock, AdBlock, etc.

@ryudo I wasn't able to replicate the issue. I was able to play the video with your api key on Win 10/Chrome. I PM'd a link to a GameSpot video that is hosted on the same CDN. If that video does not play then Gaff may have had the right idea. There may be a server between your location and our video servers that is dropping packets. If you're okay with it, you can try changing your DNS to a public one and maybe the new routing will fix the timeouts.

@ryudo I am going to scrounge up a Win 10 machine and try to replicate your issue.
