So lately when watching stuff on VUDU to Go on PC, whatever I'm watching will be interrupted with a black screen and the error "Another device on your account has started playing this movie. [#5002]" This usually happens when the player needs to buffer (I'm streaming and I skip to a different part of the video, or I have it playing in the background so it's priority for Internet access is lowered), and a lot of the time it happens as soon as I open the video.
I can say for a certainty that no other device is actively using my account when these errors pop up. I know what devices my account is associated with, and most of the time they're not even on when these errors occur, much less using VUDU. The only possible exception is the Roku HDMI stick that turns on when someone turns the TV on, but I can confirm the stick has not been in use (and has probably gone into sleep mode), much less using VUDU, much less watching the same thing as I am in the next room over. I even tried temporarily dissociating all computers with my account to make sure the problem wasn't because another computer was using it.
The video usually plays normally if I just close and re-open it. It's still annoying though and can break the experience.
I haven't been having any problems watching through the Roku channel.
I think this started with a recent update - I'm currently using version 2.2.4 on Windows. This has occurred across Windows 7, 8.1, and Windows 10.
Any ideas on what's going on?
