I have the same issue. I get a playback error. Whats odd is I tried to watch Weird All and was able to see his introduction and the “Roku presents” but then it started buffering and gives me the Playback error message. I have a firestick lite. I have uninstalled and reinstalled roku app, cleared the cache, etc. nothing works.
Same issue watching Weird. Can't get it to play 😞

I can only speak about my problem, which was caused by my VPN (NordVPN). I added an exception (split tunneling) for Roku and then I was able to watch 'Weird'.
If you are not running a VPN on your FireStick, I'm afraid you will have to keep looking for an answer.

Using Split Tunneling (Bypasser) and adding an exception to Roku in my VPNs (IPVanish, now Surfshark) fixed my video problems as well.

Yup. turned off VPN (Surfshark), now videos work again. Don't understand why it started when I've always used VPN.
