Continue Getting This Error

I have been using the Roku app on my Amazon Fire stick for quite awhile now. With no other issues unless I want to watch a couple of my favorite shows & movies. Every time I either think of something to watch & it’s actually on the Roku app I get happy. Until I actually attempt to actually watch the show. I have always got an error that states,

“Playback Error 

Unfortunately, we were unable to play this content. Please try again later.”

I have had this come up now on 4 different things that I’ve wasted to watch. I continually check back to see if it’s fixed but of course it hasn’t. This has not been working for probably close to a year now but these shows still continue to sit on there. They just do not work. I’ve uninstalled the app & of course reinstalled it back & nothing changes. 

So what can be done? one of the shows off the top of my head that has never worked for me is the show, “Bones”. None of the seasons or shows will play  

Anyone know why this is happening? Everything is updated on My Firestick & tv so it’s not that.
