the roku channel its not playing movies or series

Welcome to the Roku Community, nosey33!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Rest assured that we'll look closely into the playback issues you're currently experiencing on The Roku Channel and help you get back on streaming.

Firstly, may we know if The Roku Channel the only app affected by this? Also, is this only happening on on-demand shows or is Live TV affected by this as well? 

In the meantime, kindly follow the steps precisely below to help you troubleshoot:

1. Remove the channel: navigate to your Home screen, move to the right, highlight the app, press Star*, then select Remove channel
2. Perform a system reboot: navigate to your Home, select Settings > System > Power (skip if unavailable) > System restart
3. Re-install the channel: navigate to your Home, scroll and select Store, look for the app, then press Add channel
