SouthernTurkey Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Just curious if this is by design, if there is a bug, or if I am doing something wrong. I have two Roku Ultras in an AV Rack. I have bound the mini apps to both Roku players and as I understand it, if I were to, for example, select the Netflix mini app on two separate TVs then the driver should automatically select the unused/inactive Roku to launch the second Netlfix instance. Is this correct? What is happening for me is that when passthrough is enabled, each additional launch of the Netflix app just launches the existing stream from the active Roku in the new room instead of the from the inactive Roku. If I disable passthrough, it seems to work as expected, where it will launch the unused Roku if one Roku is already in use. Am I doing something wrong or is this the expected behavior? I like the aesthetics of passthrough but we often have our kids watching Netflix while we also watch a different Netflix stream elsewhere and this does not work well for us. Also, as an additional note, if I launch a different mini app than the active one (i.e. Netflix is active and I select Amazon Prime in another room) the app will launch on the inactive Roku even when in passthrough mode. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each Roku has a "netflix" of it's own so which ever you push will turn on that roku only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you can have a single 'netflix' mini driver attached to multiple rokus and the system will select the next unused one. Where this fails is having netflix, prime, disney etc. It doesn't seem to track very well int hat case (for me it's a about 50/50 right now) - and the passthrough is a know limitation dreres and c44me 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
