I gave them 1 star and left a bad review for each of the fire tvs…they called me about the revie and then did nothing…buy a roku and throw out your $800 fire tv…it is worth it to take the loss for your own sanity
I recently bought a Roku and was surprised to find they force ads on their home screen. It’s obviously not as terrible as a fullscreen ad but its still very annoying.
Roku controls Subtitles/Language as a system level which means Crunchyroll can’t fix it. Other systems allow the language/subtitles to be within respective apps.
Roku won’t budge that subtitles must match language spoken and that each content should be in its primary language (Japanese).
Crunchyroll is “fixing” the issue by creating duplicate seasons - one for each language - but that is a very slow process and it only fixes the dub
Yeah, there’s definitely foreign language English subtitled content on Netflix that can be watched on Roku. I don’t think apps are required to use the Roku system subtitles. I’m more inclined to think Crunchyroll just isn’t supporting their Roku app properly.

Roku also does not work well with Crunchyroll at all.
You can’t get any dubs, and if you get subtitles - they only seem to be in the language the show is. E. G. Japanese subtitles only for Japanese Audio.
It’s so dumb that neither Crunchyroll nor Roku will budge.
If you don’t care about anime. Roku is better than the alternatives.
What do you mean they won’t budge? Is this a conscious decision they’re both making to spite one another?

Netflix doesn’t use Roku’s system level language / subtitle settings so I assume there’s a way around it for other apps as well.

Once again I’m reminded that piracy offers a better user experience than the paid options.
It does. But it’s difficult to obtain 1000+ episodes of One Piece.
It’s actually really easy.
Roku has done occasional full screen ads too.
