Re: Great Courses Plus stopped working

Does anyone have an  e-mail address or phone number for Roku support.

How the **bleep** does Roku expect us to tell them, to call attention to any issues if this user forum is the only place we are directed to.  How do they expect any feedback ?

I suggest we all go to Amazon, and place some reviews describing the lack of support for service  from Roku.

Called the support number.  Got a message that because of Covid-19 they do not have phone support - figure that out!!  I went to bottom of home page an clicked on "Contact"  You will get choice of email or Live Chat.  When it comes to choosing an issue from the menu, I chose Accounting/Billing.  I spoke to a person who transferred me to tech support.  They could not solve the problem and have no idea so many are having the problem!!  Good luck.  I insisted on a prorated refund because they could not provide the service they sold me.

Same problem.  Interested in Roku getting this fixed.  GCP works on my computer.  Roku app crashes as described above.  @roku needs to get this fixed pronto.  Anxious to hear from anyone on this thread if a solution is found.

I have the same problem.  Thanks to all who posted here. 

All the wasted time of uninstall and reinstall.   Life that I will never get back.

Everyone should start asking for a refund.  Maybe the problem will get fixed faster.

The only people that can fix the Great Courses channel are the Great Courses developers, period!

There was a recent update to RokuOS.

Sometimes Channels need time to update their apps accordingly.

Just send Great Courses feedback and relax.

its the nature of software.

I am really glad that you found a work-around for this until GCP updates their software.  Yes, it is a pain to do, but at least it works!  Now we all need to complain to GCP.

Looks like we all need to flood Great Courses Plus with the request that they update to work with the new ROKU OS.  Thank you all for letting me know that I am not alone!

UPDATE Re: Great Courses Plus stopped working

Jump to solution

UPDATE:  Roku gave me the following instructions, which so far has worked.  We had already removed/reinstalled the app.  But it works now (BTW -- contacted GCP with no response).

 

1. Remove the channel (Highlight the channel, press * button and select      'Remove channel')
2. Restart the system by navigating to Settings->System->Power-     
    >System Restart
3. Add the channel (Use the search tab on Roku home screen and add 
   channel)

Re: UPDATE Re: Great Courses Plus stopped working

We got ours back. But we could not remove GCP without unsubscribing. I was afraid we would lose our place in our courses, but unsubscribed last night, did a system update on Roku for good measure, and it worked (you get access for whatever remains in your billing period) Logged into our Roku account this morning and resubscribed with one click.

pretty easy peasy. Still retained our info in our courses. Stuff happens with updates, and there is usually a fix.
