I have reviewed the logs for our video CDN and out of 150,000 sessions, only 48 were identified to be using IPv6. These sessions were identified by the user-agent Roku/DVP-12.0 (12.0.0.xxxx-xx), indicating that the recent update to the operating system now supports IPv6.

I wonder if it's just a bunch of old and outdated Roku boxes causing problems? They probably work off of a ~3-5 year support cycle like phones but are updated even more infrequently by endusers (why should they if it's still working for them?).
I believe Rokus auto-update frequently. All of my devices are up to date on version 11.5.
I have a Roku 3 (these came out in 2013) which I regularly update. The support cycle is fairly long. I think they did stop supporting some Roku 2s at one point due to a new feature the old hardware just couldn't support.
All other streams are made with 11.5 - which is the official latest version.
Release notes don't say anything about that change but it wouldn't surprise me if it was left out.
