Channel Issues & Questions

[mook1178]

the thumbnails for the shows in prime video channel are blacked out, or at least nothing is showing. Some of the lettering is black as well and not able to be seen. These are usually selectable links. I can still stream and watch videos, but it makes scrolling in an already not very user friendly app much more difficult.

Has anyone had this issue? I have tried removing and installing the app, but still have the problem.

I searched through other posts and couldn't see a resolution to my issue. I added Prime Video to my Roku 2710X last week and have been trying to get it to work. It comes up and I can open it but when I try to watch a video on the channel it starts but then closes out and goes back to the video/show episode page. I have tried re-setting the Roku, deleting and reinstalling the channel, checking for software updates, loading it through Amazon and also through the Roku and it still does it. My Amazon account shows it is registered to my account. I can't find a Roku support number to call as in one of the other posts someone said they called Roku to have them register the account. Any help would be appreciated. Note I am in Canada and using a Roku 2710X. Thank you!

This has been happening to me too, and I already tried removing the channel and reinstalling it and it didn’t work. I’m able to watch for more than a few minutes, but it eventually still kicks me back out to the home screen. It’s been happening for a few days now.

Thanks for the inquiry.

Please make sure after your remove the channel, that you restart your device before adding the channel back again.

If the issue remains unresolved, I'd recommend reaching out to Amazon Prime Video directly to report the issue and request additional support. Many channels on the Roku platform are developed and maintained by the channel provider directly, and they'll be able to best assist. If other channels are working correctly, and you only experience this issue on the Amazon Prime Video channel (app), that is likely an indication that the issue lies within that particular channel. In these cases, the channel provider will need to investigate the issue in order to help resolve it.

going to the link you added for Amazon is worthless.  To me this is your issue to resolve and I would not recommend buying Roku device going forward.  My smart TV has no issues and does just as much.  I have no problem with Amazon Prime on any other device, computer, two smart TV's and old Apple TV box.  Seems like a lot of people having problem with Roku, so maybe your company should drive the fix with Amazon.

I agree with this post. I have done everything to fix the issue and yet no one seems to be willing to help efficiency.

This happened to me several times. The only solution I found is to reset network settings on Roku. No idea why it works.

amazon prime does not work on my roku, Roku sucks because they know there is an issue and just ignore it. there is no human you can talk to and that is the way they like it as long as people buy there junk

That worked perfectly! 

Thank you

Prime has worked for two years on my Roku TV and in the past two months it is blacked out as everyone has stated above. It is not a channel issue it is a Roku issue that they will not address and fix. I have been having issues with the TV itself. It will randomly turn itself off and back on. My other TVs that aren’t Roku TVs don’t do this. I will not buy another one. I have a chrome stick, and an fire stick, both don’t have issues with the prime channel. 
I find it irritating that Roku knows this is an issue and won’t do anything about it. I haven’t been able to get it corrected yet. I can play the video but they are blacked out which makes it hard to scroll through or find anything.
