How to fix Discovery Plus app pausing and skipping

Jump to solution

Anyone else having issues with the discovery plus app?  Ours keeps pausing and skips about 1 second of dialogue.  We have restarted, deleted, signed out, re loaded, restarted router.   Continues to happen.  Any ideas or similar issues?

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the posts.

As previously stated, for more information about that channel's features and functionality, you'll want to contact Discovery+ support directly to inquire further. Many channels on Roku are developed and maintained by the channel provider themselves. 

You can reach Discovery+ support here: https://help.discoveryplus.com/hc/en-us
 

Thanks,
Danny

Hi @AStarr,

Thanks for the post.

Try removing the channel from the Roku home screen by navigating to the channel tile, pressing the * key on your remote, and choosing 'Remove channel'. Then restart your device from Settings>System>System restart. Once your player starts up again, add the channel back once more.
If that still doesn't clear up the issue you're experiencing, we recommend contacting the channel provider directly to follow-up for more help. They’ll be able to best assist with any issues that are occurring within their channel.

Thanks,

Same. It feels like it is trying to cut in for a commercial.

I was wondering if it was just me. I recently upgraded my roku, so didn't think it was my box 😞

Same with me. Pauses every few minutes for about 3 seconds before it continues. I hope they resolve this soon.

I'm having the same issues with pausing for about 3 seconds, seems it happens every 5 minutes. I have 2 TV's with Rokus and both are having the same issue. I'm also experiencing a blackout screen with no sound after an episode of what I'm watching ends. Very frustrating. Don't think I'll be signing up after the trial ends

I'd suggest everyone else in this thread do the same so that they pay attention to it.

I have also been having issues with the pausing of shows on my Roku device pertaining to Discovery Plus. I also filed a complaint and hope that they can fix this fast. Glad I’m not alone.
