We have a relatively new (2019?) TCL Roku TV, and have full cable service through Frontier. I’m pretty tech-handy, but am entirely befuddled. For the past 5+ months, I’ve been unable to get NBC app to show anything but free shows. The app launches fine, and I get “Sorry! We’re having some trouble... Needs to re-authenticate. Error code: CloudpathErrorAuthorization” when I try to watch non-freebie shows.
I have the NBC app authenticated working fine on our Samsung TVs, my iPad, laptop, iPhone. I have deleted the app, rebooted, readied the app, rebooted many many times. Other apps authenticate fine. This one, I never get prompted to authenticate, and I don’t see where I can enter my cable login in my settings in my.Roku.com or on the TV itself.
I’ve reached out to NBC and was told to delete cookies (ahem, it’s a TV not a browser). I’ve tried adding the app via my.Roku.com - again, didn’t see where to authenticate. I just confirmed that my Roku OS is current, and I am downloading the current app.
I’m going to try a full reset because this is driving me batty. It’s absurd that Roku doesn’t have a core place to authenticate subscriptions, or that each app works entirely differently. Samsung, AppleTV all have consistent authentication APIs for the apps (actually, AppleTVs is stored centrally - even better).
Any ideas? Please?
