I've even done a factory reset. So everything is brand new. Still the same frustration.
I have Paramount+/Showtime and watch on a Roku TV. Despite the claim of no ads, some shows begin with a promotional video advertising another show on Paramount+. This cannot be skipped, which is annoying enough, but something else has been occurring which is very irritating. After watching the promotional video, if I attempt to move forward or backward using the navigation key, it will jump back to the beginning and force me to watch the promotional video in its entirety, again. At that point I can't even navigate to where I was because it keeps forcing me to the beginning. The one, apparent, workaround I have found is to exit the show I'm watching and then reenter. At that point, it doesn't show the promotional video and I can navigate without issue.
I don't know how to predict when these promotional videos will appear and haven't enough data points to identify other possible workarounds or even if my workaround works consistently but this has occurred several times and I hoped that by reporting it someone might look for and fix the issue.
