Hello,
I have a unit that says model 3810. It's the Stream Stick, which was a gift a few months ago, so it's rather recent. And the firmware is updated.
I am trying to watch "The Chosen" which uses VidAngel. I was instructed to install the app on my cell, and connect to Roku. I tried...
My issue is that neither my cell phone, nor my tablet can connect. Both android (9 and 6). I have followed the directions I've seen linked here from another user.
The VidAngel app pops up a connect page, shows that it can see my Roku, but when I tap, it just shows the little TV with WiFi radio signals. Not the device name. It's empty. Same with the app written by the people who produced the show "The Chosen".
So the cell/tablet app is not really seeing the Roku. Just "something" that's there.
I set the Roku's "allow mobile..." to permissive. That had no affect.
The devices are all on the same network, within the same subnet. All on the same wireless network. But it will not communicate.
Alternately, I was told to try to install the non-certified "VidAngel" app directly onto my Roku. So I followed the steps, and it never appeared, although the web page said it's done, and to do a software update in order to see it. It's not there. It won't load it...
So, as a test, I selected another regular channel from the web page, and added it. It appeared almost immediately on the device.
The people supporting VidAngel or the app to allow me to watch "The Chosen" have not been any help. They tried, but their ideas are exhausted.
Has anyone had this problem and solved it? If so, how?
Any advice is appreciated.
