I just installed Online Arabia on Roku and set up my account along with verification of my email and country. I restarted the system like I was told but am still not able to watch anything on the app. Is it not available in the US?

I'm having the same issue.  It says This content is temporarily unavailable. Please try later Code 401.   I've been trying for a week or so and get the same thing.

Thanks. This is the first time I have installed this channel.

Thank you. It is the first time I have installed the app and I am not using a VPN. I get the same error code on any of the channels I click on.

Thank you for the update, @Myles3511!

After attempting the troubleshooting steps and videos from other channels play fine, contact the channel provider's customer support team to report the issue and get help. Channels on Roku are maintained by the channel developers themselves. In this case, there's likely an issue within that specific channel that needs to be addressed with an update from them.

If you need anything else, please keep us posted.

Kind regards,                                                                                                                                            John
