Roku OS14.1 Breaks Control

After upgrading to OS 14.1 on a Roku player or Roku TV, the Control4 driver stops functioning.

Note: This Roku update impacts all control systems, not just Control4.  As of 11/14/2024, no date has been announced for the OS release.

 

To remedy this, you must manually authorize network access in the Roku menu, thus allowing Control4 to issue external commands.  These steps will have to be done using the Roku remote that came with the device since network control is broken.

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Select System.
  3. Navigate to Advanced System Settings.
  4. Choose Control by Mobile Apps.
  5. Click on Network Access.
  6. After the update, the setting is set to Limited by default. Change the setting back to Enabled and accept a security warning.

 

Update January 9, 2025:  We’re starting to see this update applied to systems now.   It is NOT stopping all units from working, but it is stopping some.  If you have one that stops responding to your control system, follow the instructions above.
