Re: Cannot watch anything on the roku channel. not on my computer, phone, or devices.

Hi @ioshta

Welcome to the Roku Community!

Does the issue only occur on a specific channel or inside  The Roku Channel or across other channels installed on your Roku device?

Are all the other streaming channels operating normally? How long has the issue existed and what troubleshooting done to resolve the issue?

With detailed information, we will be able to assist you better.


Warm Regards,
Lianna

Re: Cannot watch anything on the roku channel. not on my computer, phone, or devices.

I am on https://therokuchannel.roku.com/
every video I have tried that isn't specifying a different company fails to play. same thing on my phone and tv. (tv is using roku device)
as an example I have tried to play stargate ark of truth to test, can't play. same with galaxy quest. literally any video I have tried gives the same result. no vpn, no add block running.

Re: Cannot watch anything on the roku channel. not on my computer, phone, or devices.

as stated multiple times its not just on the roku device. this occurs from my phone app, and my laptop.
its on the roku channel itself, I have given a link to it. I have now also specified at least 2 shows.

Re: Cannot watch anything on the roku channel. not on my computer, phone, or devices.

I would like us to address this a bit differently as I know its not the specific device. Its something to do with the main page and my router, if I bypass via my cell to the actual episode and then reconnect to the network it works just fine. Is there some special setting that needs to be implemented. as stated this worked previously and nothing was changed on my router.

k seems pretty clear the roku channel is not worth anyone time. anyone who comes across this I would suggest looking for an alternative.
