Roku Media Player only play or exit with UMS

[DetectiveKenobi]

So I played a file then I did the voice remote commands to pause, play , and fast forward. None of the buttons worked except the back button to leave the current file.

I'm also having the same issue (can't pause, rewind, forward) with Roku Media Player. I'm using UMS version 10.18 and Roku Streaming Stick+ and Roku Premiere.

Yeah the only way to get around it is to use Roku voice commands. I dont have this issue with emby so must be something with UMS.

Roku Premiere does not have a voice remote. Only pause and play voice commands work with Roku Streaming Stick+ (fast forward, rewind does not work).

I have a Oppo BDP-103 and everything works fine with UMS.

Is this some kind of configuration issue with Roku devices?

I bought the Roku voice remote pro for my Roku TV. But you can also use the Roku app on Android/Apple TV to do voice commands.

In v11 we support HLS transcoding. I wonder if it will work with Roku. Please try the attached profile and if it doesn't work, please provide logs

That seems like good progress. How long is "a long time"?

I've had this issue for a quite a while now, and still have it as of the current version 11.1.0 (Windows 11). I've had a look at the recently posted config files, but they seem to be for Roku 4/Roku TV - I'm using a "Roku 3 (NSP 6-7)", which is the "Roku-Roku3-6-7.conf" file. I made a similar change to the ones described for those other configs, adding HLS to the "TranscodeVideo" option in the Conf file... that is, I changed this from...

Code: Select all

TranscodeVideo = MPEGTS-H264-AAC

to

Code: Select all

TranscodeVideo = HLS-MPEGTS-H264-AAC

...restarted my Roku and UMS, and now seeking and pausing works again (which is really satisfying!). I've attached my updated .conf, in case anyone with the same issue using a Roku 3 device wants to try it without updating the file themselves.
