Same with Netflix app on Roku. I keep keep using up/down/left/right to keep stuff from playing, which is pretty silly that I have to do that to keep stuff from playing. I'm trying to use my own attention to read title and try to make a decision and it's trying to blast unwanted information at me.

Maybe trying up/up/down/down/left/right/left/right will do the trick?

Where are the A B and Start buttons on the Roku remote?

The original remote was intended to serve as a gamepad which is why it had a D-pad instead of a five-way.

What’s a five-way?

Sounds like that will unlock some cheat code feature!

Exactly. It levels you up so you no longer have to deal with the autoplay bosses.
