Bull Series not playing on Roku Channel App

Cannot play Bull Series on Roku Channel App. I have Smart TV with Roku. Bull will only play the one episode or maybe two and then go to the Bull homepage. It is no longer in my continue watching and always is as I play it every night and let it play. Last night all I did was fight with it and never did get it to play normally or go into my continue watching. Roku Channel recommends Bull to me but does not actually continue playing or go into watch line. I even tried to pick an episode later on to get it to play on but that did not work. It worked fine and was in my continue watching until last night. What have you done to the Roku Channel App?

      Other apps work fine. You can watch movies on the Roku App. You just cannot as of last night watch an episode past s1e1 of Bull. Although it recommend Bull to me when I watched Hitch. All others will just say resume watching but nothing happens. That is worse than last night when it would allow me to go and pick an episode but that was it. Now it only wants to allow me to play first episode. I can watch Bull on Paramount just not where I should be in the Roku app. Yes. I already removed App and reinstall but not fix the issue. No it does not matter season of Bull only first will play. No issues yet with any other apps.

    It is a Hisense-Roku Smart TV. There are NO devices attached. It is all Roku. Bull Series is in the Roku Channel App.

    This is a Roku problem and not a user device problem.

    I don't know of a fix, but there is a workaround:

     

    From the title screen press "restart" or "play from Beginning".

    Then right away press either the FF or REV key on your remote. You may have to do this several times before your content shows you starting from the beginning. From this point you can FF and should be able to continue watching.

     

    That is, until it happens again.
