This morning while watching the FRS play against the Astros, dismayed at the lack of control I had over the way to watch afforded by the Samsung TV app, I went searching the interwebs to see if I could find others in the same predicament (phew, that’s a seriously long sentence.)
Somehow, someway, via a couple web pages and/or message boards, I ended up on an MLBTV Roku help page – https://www.mlb.com/live-stream-games/help-center/roku-requirements (phew, that’s a seriously long URL.)
There I found a list of supported Roku devices. I certainly hoped mine was, as it is fairly new, and when I checked it did in fact make the list. Another thing mentioned was to make sure the Roku’s firmware was up to date, with Version 9.1 being the minimum. When I checked this, my unit had version 9.2 installed. Darn, I was hoping that would be the problem. I then for the heck of it, checked to see if there was an even newer version, and there was, 9.3. After updating and a reboot, MLBTV worked like it did, just last week.
I speculate that MLBTV worked fine using 9.1, when they released 9.2 last week it borked it, so the fix came quickly in 9.3. Now, if I could just fix 1 & 3…
