It appears this problem started this week with the release of Episode 5 Season 9 of Brokenwood Mysteries on the Acorn TV channel. Acorn has been releasing a new episode each Monday. Prior to this week, in the 4 previous weeks, the new episode loaded without issue. The problem does not exist on my iMac or iPad; only when attempting to access Acorn via a Roku device. The problem, in my case, exists across all types of Roku devices including when embedded in a tv like TCL.  I am not aware of the problem existing on other shows or channels.

It is the stand alone Acorn app that is the issue with the new episode of Brokenwood. 

Updated Acorn, Did the system update, Contacted Acorn (they said they'd pass it on to their techs),

Uninstalled the Acorn app...shut off the Roku TV...turned TV back on...reinstalled the Acorn app. Nothing fixed the issue.

I am getting the same issue. It plays on my desk top computer but will not play on my big tv through Roku. It shows it is suppose to be there but it is not. I contacted Acorn yesterday and they said they were working on it but it still will not work.

Got an email from AcornTV saying it was fixed.  It didn't work until I  updated the system software and restarted the d the whole thing.  But now I can watch 5.
