@hellorain: Videos work for me in Firefox on Windows. I'm just having the same Roku issue that everyone else is having.

@olli43: On my Apple TV 4K switching the quality setting from HD to high fixed the freezing problem for me. I've been checking this thread and a couple others daily because I'd obviously rather not have to lower quality but at least it made Giant Bomb videos watchable again.

I am having the freezing issues too. This might be a new problem because it doesn’t matter if the video is live. When I use AirPlay from Firefox on my phone with the same videos they play smoothly on the Apple TV. It’s a little annoying but at least there is a workaround this time.

I'm a big fan of the Roku app. I use it on a daily basis. The only thing missing for me is a Breaking Brad video category. That or a way to search for videos through the app would be nice. I would like to go back and watch the Breaking Brad Demon Souls and Bloodborne videos but right now I can't find a way to do that outside of sitting at my PC.

@mickastle: You can use the default iOS podcast app with the premium feeds if you want. I wrote about how I was having trouble with this in post 38 but I figured it out. It sounds like there are lots of reasons to switch to a different app like Pocket Casts but if you have basic podcast listening needs like I do the default iOS podcast app works fine with the GB premium podcasts.

You need to login to your premium account and then go to giantbomb.com/feeds. On that page the premium podcast feeds are at the very bottom. Copy the RSS link for the podcast you want (you only get the correct link if you are logged in).

Open up the iOS podcast app and go to the "My Podcasts" tab. Tap the + icon in the top left corner and then tap the "Add Podcast" button. Now all you have to do is paste the URL into this box and you will be subscribed. Just repeat this process for each premium podcast you want to subscribe to (Bombcast, Beastcast, etc).

Edit: I'm a dummy. I figured this out. When you get the link you need to go to the My Podcasts tab and hit the + button. This is where you enter the URL. I was trying to enter it in the search area. I thought about deleting the rest of this post but I'm leaving it up in case anyone else has the same trouble I did.

How do I do this in iOS? When I login to Giant Bomb in iOS Safari and get my link for the premium Bombcast and Beastcast from giantbomb.com/feeds I can't seem to do anything with it.

When I put that link in the search bar from the Podcasts app it gives me no results. If I put the link or just click the RSS button in Safari it tries to open the link in the Apple News app but I get an error saying "story unavailable."

Unfortunately I already unsubscribed from my premium podcasts I was getting with the old method and I can't remember the convoluted process I used to get them on there in the first place.

I'm feeling pretty dumb here because I'm sure I'm not the only one trying to do this in the standard iOS podcast app and no one else seems to be having trouble.

@chriswacy: Just unplug your Roku and plug it back in. This worked for me.

Same for me. I am using the beta version.

Edit: Power cycling my Roku fixed it.

@brettuss: Thanks for this. If the update isn't approved by Roku by tomorrow night I'll definitely be doing this to watch UPF.

@rhawb: Yep. I was just checking in to say the same. When I tried to watch the Mario 2 stream last night it was still messed up but tonight's UPF seems to be working properly. I'm very happy to have my UPF back!

I am using an old Roku 2XD.
