Re: Paramount Plus and Netflix not working

Jump to solution

Yesterday afternoon I lost both Paramount Plus and Netflix in the late afternoon. 

Paramount Plus after watching the Good Fight most of the afternoon stopped working.  I would get the Paramount+ Logo roll and then it would throw a Error message:// Error  Unfortunately an error occurred during Playback.  Please Try Again.  I have tried everything suggested here and it just repeats over and over.

Netflix is also affected and Fails to boot altogether.  I see the logo on screen for a few moments and then it takes me back to the Home Screen with no explanation.  Over and over again.  I tried to remove and then reinstall and it does the same thing

NBC News behaves normally and is not affected only the two subscription Channels.

Last night I checked on HBO which I cancelled last month when I added Paramount+ and that boots and plays and should not.  Do you know why?

Paramount+ and Netflix monthly payments have also been deducted from my Bank account in September and are not due again until October.

Can you please help me?  Otherwise I will cancel my account and subscriptions.

 

Thanks,  Jim Day

Appreciate the response.

Try running a software update on your Roku device and see if that will resolve the issue you're experiencing. Check out this link for instructions: How do I update the software on my Roku® streaming device?

If the issue persists even after the update, please provide us the following information for further investigation:

-Roku device model
-Serial number
-Device ID
-Software OS/version
(these can all be found in Settings > System > About)
-Does this issue occur on a specific channel? If so, what channel and what version/build is the channel (this can be found by selecting the channel on the Home screen and pressing the * button)
-Tracker ID when this issue occurs (when you see this issue occur, press the Home button 5 times, followed by the Back button 5 times)

Paramount Plus useless on my Roku.

Audio/video out of sync. Won't play - error message or content unavailable message.

Followed all the reset/reinstall etc directions.

Ready to give up Paramount.

I have done all the above including restarting my WiFi router and modem. All to no avail. I prepaid a yearly subscription. I feel that it was a waste. App was working fine while on free trial…weird.

Hi @dfmdep @girhim99

We do apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.

Does the issue only occur on Paramount Plus or across other channels installed on your Roku? Did you restart your device before re-installing the channel? That step is crucial when performing the troubleshooting. If you haven't tried the suggested order (remove > restart > re-install), we would recommend giving it a shot once again.

For detailed instructions, refer to this Support link: How do I resolve channel playback issues?

Please keep us posted!


All the best,
Kariza

Only with Paramount Plus and yes I have done the above in that order. I’ve also tried updating app and the Roku unit itself. Everything is up to date and I’ve unplugged and reset the modem and router. I have also read through ever comment on this forum related to this issue going back to March and have tried every solution that was posted. First time I’ve ever had a problem with any of my Roku devices. This app is disappointing 😞
