what works and doesnt work on roku os 9 on a roku 2 xs
- netflix: opens old app design (pre scenegraph), failed to connect error
- prime video: opens old app design (pre scenegraph), goes to error screen that says "This version of the Amazon Instant Video app is no longer supported." but still uses prime video branding elsewhere?
- hulu: opens a failed to connect error. notably, this uses legacy sdk, whilst the hulu app on another device i have opens up webkit to display a failed to connect error. i believe that it might fall back to the first app version when the latest isn't compatible?
- the roku channel: failed to connect error
- tubi: opens up two errors about being unable to load. there's an option to close them, but they reappear
- pluto tv: loads very slowly, but does manage to load! however, every channel brings you to a multilingual stream informing you that pluto tv is no longer available on this device. however, the guide shows correct information for everything. this used to work somewhat recently.
- espn: unsupported device message.
- pandora: the faithful pandora app continues to work on absolutely everything with valid certificates and a correct date and time. thank you pandora. please, dont change a thing. literally
- starz: "network error", seemingly a bad request status code though 400 could mean anything
- paramount+: this is actually the cbs all access app here, despite the home page showing paramount. opens to an error- "Uh-oh. An error has occurred, but we're working on fixing it. We'll be up and streaming shortly!"
- cnn: opens as "cnn go". failed connection error
- iheart radio: pretty slow, but seems to work? almost crashed the entire thing.
- frndly tv: it seems to work? it offered me a free trial, i attempted to sign up and the roku automatically used my details on my account but tried to run my card and i dont have the money for the hold. maybe i can check back someday
- spectrum tv: crashes.
- youtube: slow but works
- vudu/fandango: shows up as fandango on the home screen, but uses vudu branding in app. failed to connect error.
- roku media player: why wouldn't it work??
- adult swim: login works, nothing else does.
- crackle: obviously crackle doesnt work, but funny enough it still lets you install it. unsurprisingly, failed to connect error.
- pbs: kinda works? i logged in and everything was there, but then it crashed.
- crunchyroll: throws up a loading bar and crashes.
- movies anywhere: it might work but i forgot our login. i mean it wouldnt be insanely surprising
