Pluto TV playback issues since the last update.

  1. I have seen the post from September 2024 that says that the Pluto playback issues have been resolved, but we just started having a problem with Pluto with the latest update and did not have any issues in 2024.  I’ve restarted and reinstalled the app a few times. Is this still a known issue? Any suggestions for resolution? #Pluto TV

    After removing the channel, but BEFORE reinstalling it, did you RESTART** your Roku to clear its memory cache?  Without the restart you may not get a clean reinstall.  This is not a cure-all but at least it will assure you of having an uncorrupted copy of the current channel app.

    Depending on your Roku model number you'll find the "System restart" option under either "Settings > System > Power" or under "Settings > System".   If you don't have sufficient control to use the menus, or if it is just more convenient, you can also restart by pulling the power plug for a short while, then plugging it back in.

    **On a Roku TV with "Fast TV Start" enabled, turning the TV off/on only puts you in/out of a low power standby state, it does NOT give you a complete restart.  Use the methods above.
