    Looks like the Daily Wire may just be a little buggy.  I played a few titles and ran into the non-resuming after pause issue as well. 

    When I ran into the issue, I pressed the OK button on the Roku remote.  This reloaded the content from the beginning.  However, was able to pause and unpause successfully after that for that episode and others as well.  (Basically works for entire session after pressing OK once).

    This worked until the next time I launched Daily Wire.  As soon as I launched the episode, I had to press the OK button immediately so that the episode could reload and basically "unstick" the pause/unpause issue/bug.

    You may just have to get in the habit of pressing the OK button immediately after you start your initial episode so that you can use the pause feature during your viewing session.  You should contact Daily Wire and alert them of this issue and the workaround so they can address it.  The channel/app developers are responsible for the development, maintenance, and fixes to make sure it works with the Roku platform.
