roVideoPlayerEvent method isPlaybackPosition() is no longer working?

I have a live roku channel still using Legacy Framework from 2016 and it’s player is using roVideoPlayerEvent’s method isPlaybackPosition() to play HLS live stream like following:

while true
	msg = wait(0, port)
	if type(msg) = "roVideoScreenEvent" then
		if msg.isScreenClosed()
			print "Screen closed"
			exit while 
		else if (**msg.isPlaybackPosition()**) then
			nowpos = msg.GetIndex()
			RegWrite(episode.ContentId, nowpos.toStr())
		else
			 print "Unexpected event type: "; msg.GetType()
		end if
	else
		print "Unexpected message class: "; type(msg)
	end if
end while

It used to be working till I last checked on Friday (29th May) but on Monday (1st June) it stopped working. When I debugged msg.isPlaybackPosition() is returning false for HLS stream which it used to be playing for years. It falls in else case and prints Unexpected event type: 11

Since we can not update legacy app and will have to move to RSG which I am currently working on but it can take time, so is there any way this problem could be solved till new app is published? Thanks in advance.

I also had this problem for the last 3 days. But, now it is gone. I think It was in maintenance. Please check now. It’s working fine.

I’m still facing the issue. It’s not fixed at my end. Is there any official statement on it by Roku?

I’m using Roku 3 with most recent Software Version (9.3.0) and Build (4170).
