Roku App Version and Feedback

[BurnIta]

Hi, I have been following the forum and wanted to know the current version of the Roku App. My TV and stick are on 1.4. I have read that there is a 1.6 beta where things have been getting fixed - and I have similar issues. What happened to 1.5?

Anyway, is it possible to get on the beta version?

I would like to request that button press sound feedback be muted while playing a video. Hearing the loud sound when pressing pause/resume is very annoying. I don't mind the sounds during navigation, but please either add an option for no sound, or just remove sounds from transport controls. The Roku Media Player does not have sound feedback for pause/resume.

Also, on my TCL Roku TV I am having an issue where the playback time bar is off with the time left at 0:00 way before the video is done. The Roku Media Player has the same problem. When it happens, I can press fast forward and be instantly brought back to the video start screen like the video has completed. I have not noticed this happening on the stick.

Thank you for your help!

Hi,
you can install the beta channel from https://my.roku.com/account/add?channel=MezzmoBeta

The Mezzmo app uses the Roku player for videos so the problem with the time left may be a firmware issue on the device. We will investigate to see if the sound for the button presses can be muted.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your response on getting the beta. Is there a change log somewhere to keep up on the latest version and what has been changed? Since it is a beta, I don't want to comment on things that may be in flux. Such as possibly changes to the actor list?

I also wanted to know about the video preview thumbnails and how they are created. It seems that the time between thumbnails is based on the length of the video rather than a set time interval across all videos with around 60 thumbnails per video. So a one hour video has about a one minute interval while a 4 hour video has about a 4 minute interval, which makes navigation more difficult. I would like to see it be consistent at maybe one minute on all videos. And is there a way to see on the server that the thumbnails have been created for a file?

Thanks again for your help.

You can send emails to support [at] conceiva [dot] com with feedback on the beta.

The video preview thumbnails are created based upon the length of the video so that it is easier to navigate through the video, if there are too many thumbnails it can take a long time to navigate from the start to the end of the video. We can possibly add a setting so that you can set the interval to be fixed at one minute. Currently there is no way to see if the thumbnails have been created for a file, we can also add an indicator for this in Mezzmo.
