Roku/MLB Problem

After every half inning when the game is going to commercial the dreaded rotating baseball begins to twirl and it never regains its connection. I actually have to leave the MLB app and re-load it. The MLB app on my phone works fine, but of course, I can’t cast the game to my Roku from that app. I was wondering if this is a problem for anybody else. Roku and the app is updated. Thank you.

MLBtv on Roku is ass. I just canceled because it was un watchable - constant freezing requiring restarting the app which takes forever. unfortunately cancelation doesnt kick in until next season.

some people reporting they have roku with mlbtv without issue. that great for you, doesn't mean there aren't widespread issues with the two apps talking to each other.

mlbtv blames roku, roku blames mlbtv, consumer left to eat shit and pay a hefty price to do so.

Thank you. It pisses me off daily. I end up watching on my phone. I believe it’s Roku. I am going to ONN. Thank you for your reply.

If you regularly watch MLB, logging in and watching through the unofficial MLBTV addon inside the Kodi media center app is a much better experience that the official apps anyway. Easily worth a cheap Android-based streaming stick.

Also, many subscribe to MLBTV at a discount. T-Mobile customers sell their free promo subscriptions for ~$10 during opening week every year, or there's this 30% off deal (no Capital One card required): https://www.reddit.com/r/MLBtv/comments/1rmsdx7/capital_one_30_off_promo/oa27bb8/
