Hello Rubyrehead gulfbrzer
Thanks for reaching out here in the Community!
Did you restart your Roku device before re-installing the channel? That step is crucial when performing troubleshooting. If you haven't tried the suggested order (remove > restart > re-install), we would recommend giving it a shot once again. We also suggest doing the restart from the Settings menu by navigating to Settings > System > Power (If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step.) > System restart.
Please keep us posted and we'll continue assisting you from there.
Regards,
Karla
I've also done this several times with no help. I rented (paid for) a.movie and I ended up watching it on my tablet.... So frustrating.

Hi Kathee70,
Thanks for reaching out to the Roku Community.
We apologize for the inconvenience this caused. Does the issue only occur on this specific channel or all channels on your Roku device? Have you tried to remove the channel and see if it helps? If you haven't tried it yet, you can remove the affected channel and re-install it.
To ensure the process is successful, restart your device before adding the channel back in. We would recommend doing this from the Settings menu by navigating to Settings > System > Power (If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step.) > System restart.
For detailed instructions, refer to this Support link: How do I resolve channel playback issues?
Let us know how it goes.

Yes. I have tried this on more than one occasion. It happens on Prime video mostly and only occasionally on Philo.

And I should mention that there is no other problems on other devices (phone, tablet, laptop) only on my Roku TV

Thanks for following up.
If the issue continuously occurs, after attempting the suggestions above, videos from other channels play fine, contact the channel provider's customer support team to report the issue and get help.
Channels on Roku are maintained by the channel developer themselves. In this case, there's likely an issue within that specific channel that needs to be addressed with an update from the channel developer.
