Roku App UI change
Looks like they made a change that if you are watching a program and bring up the menu, the program no longer continues to play in the background and the name/channel doesn’t show at the very top anymore so you can’t easily go back into the program. Instead, the screen goes black and the only way to get back to the show is back to the live guide or back to the home screen and hope it’s showing in one of the sections.
Also, there’s a new loading animation that doesn’t look that great but not as much as an annoyance as the other changes. I will say that it does seem to move a little fast but I much prefer to be able to easily get back to what I was watching and having it play in the background and not have silence.
Here’s a short vid of the changes: Roku TV UI Navigation Changes
