Commercial break after (almost) every channel change
DanStro opened this issue · 2 comments
Just about every time I change to a new channel I get a screen saying something like "Commercial in progress..." and a time counts down from 15 seconds. There have been a couple of times where this didn't happen and the channel just opened without this screen. These were not channels that I am subscribed to so it isn't that.
Also, every once in a while it gets caught in a loop where this screen just keeps coming up and when the counter reaches zero it resets to 14. This has only happened to me on the RiffTraks channel.
This has nothing to do with the Roku App. This is Twitch.tv's new "automated mid-roll ads" forced feature. Since the Roku App doesn't actually log into your account, the app is seeing an Ad as soon as it enters a channel. If you see many of these screens happen in a row, it is because the channel is running an Ad break. Usually channels run them for 60-180 seconds.
