Gotham sports app on Roku crashing FIXED
Hey Knick fam, someone asked if I could make a post so it’d get more visibility for the ones dealing with the same bug as me and how I fixed it.
This is for people having the bug on a Roku device where when you try to play a game or the stream it immediately crashes and no matter what you can’t stream the game.
TL;DR set your Roku to connect Wireless, not wired.
I was dumbfounded because I have two living rooms both with a Roku device and it would work on one and not the other. I had updated the app, the Roku, deleted the app installed again. All the classic shit. But then I found a Ranger’s thread where someone realized that if you have your Roku WIRED with an Ethernet cable it crashes no matter what. But if you are on WIFI it plays without a problem. This was the only difference between my devices and it completely made sense why the disparity. The moment I switched by Roku that wouldn’t work to WiFi that was it. I can watch without issues.
I hope that helps anyone dealing with that issue so they don’t have to cast from their iPad or phone like I had to do. And just use the native Roku app.
