    Hi, Mainecoons 

    Thanks for posting here in the Roku Community.

    We came across your post where you mentioned that you're having an issue with the Amazon Prime app that is not working, and we're here to assist you in resolving the issue. Kindly follow the troubleshooting steps below.

    1. Navigate to the channel tile on the Roku home screen, press the star (*) key on your remote, and choose "Remove channel".
    2. Next, restart your device from Settings > System > Power > System Restart (If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step).
    3. Once your player/TV starts up again, go to "Streaming Store" on the Home screen, and add the channel back once more.
    4. You may also refer to this link: How to resolve a channel playback issue | Official Roku Support
    If the issue persists after performing the provided troubleshooting step, you may want to contact the channel provider's support directly and inquire further about this issue for a workaround that needs an update on their end to resolve this since most channels on the Roku platform are designed and maintained by the channel providers themselves
     
    We hope this works, and let us know on what you find out.
     
    Best wishes,
    Kash

      Thanks.  Did that long since.  The problem seems to occur with the two newer ROKU devices I have, one of which is a TCL ROKU TV and one of which is a ROKU express module.  My oldest ROKU does not do this.

  • I have a Sharp-Roku TV. Whenever I open the Prime app to play a video, the app closes and goes back the HOME screen.  I RESET my TV, DELETED the app and re-installed it. I'm still having a problem with app.

      When you deleted the app and reinstalled it, did you perform a "System restart" from Settings->System->Power after you removed it and before you reinstalled it?  If not, try it again.

    Mainecoons-

    The post you replied to did not get carried along with your post on this $#@& forum software so we don't know what problem or solution you're referring to. Can you supply some more details?

      Whatever was going on to screw up Amazon log in disappeared as mysteriously as it came.  So I have no idea what went wrong or how it got fixed.

        Thank you for the update, Mainecoons!

        You may be able to resolve the issue with Amazon Prime login by contacting your channel provider. We recommend contacting them directly, as the channels/apps on Roku are typically managed and updated by the channel providers themselves. We hope to resolve this issue and appreciate your cooperation.

        Thanks,
