Based on countless threads and posts related to this issue, this fix and many other suggestions will probably be temporary. They really need to tell us what to do. 3 people reported that the only permanent fix they had found was to trash the roku and purchase a firestick.
I traced the Roku YouTube app failure to my cell phone's Chrome app: It had multiple tabs with YouTube videos on them. So I closed the tabs and YouTube works again! (Perhaps some of the videos were trying to 'cast to screen' at the same time and confused the Roku's error detection firmware.)
Try this list, especially the highlighted items (#3 and #4)
Known solutions/workarounds for apps not loading/closing to Home:
1) Check for updates: Settings/System/System update/Check now - try again
2) Restart Roku: Settings/System/System restart/Restart - try again
3) Change your Theme to the Roku Default: Settings/Theme/Restore default theme - try again
4) Change your Screensaver to a Roku clock: Settings/Theme/Screensavers - try again
5) Remove SD card (if installed) - try again
6) Remove app, RESTART ROKU: Settings/System/System restart/Restart, Add app - try again **
7) Network connection reset: Settings/System/Advanced system settings/Network connection reset - try again
😎 Completely unplug power from Roku for 10-15 minutes - try again
9) Factory reset: Settings/System/Advanced system settings/Factory reset <--- last resort
** NOTE for #6: Do not remove the YouTube TV app - you will not get the app back until the end of the dispute

Just a note on your note, ** NOTE for #6: Do not remove the YouTube TV app - you will not get the app back until the end of the dispute:
If all other steps fail, and removing YouTube TV is your final option, it is possible to go ahead and remove it. YTTV have added a button/link on the YouTube home page that allows us to access YTTV via that site.
Thats correct, but its also been repeated many times. The point is to warn users who want/prefer to use/keep the YTTV app.
There are some slight differences in functionality when using the YT app to access YTTV, but it suffices otherwise.
The app loading issue is supposed to be resolved (for now) - check for updates:
Settings/System/System updates/Check now
When I try to use my ROKU device and click on a channel I get one of two messages. Either the channel won't play because there isn't enough space. I tried deleting channels as instructed even though the device worked perfectly before with all the channels I was using. That didn't work. The other message is that the channel couldn't be reinstalled. There is no suggestion about how to reinstall the channel.
we started getting the same error yesterday
I am still getting the same error on multiple apps. I even applied their "latest" fix by following the steps for a manual update. IT DIDN'T WORK! How is this getting resolved? I have a roku Express. I did a factory reset, which seemed to work on only one roku box. Im beyond frustrated. Im paying for services I can't use because this issue HAS NOT been resolved as stated. Please let its know how to fix.
Hello @SS12 @jabarryto @NVV
Thanks for the posts.
If you're getting the error 'Can't run channel. Could not be re-installed from the network', we would recommend trying out the solution in this thread as it resolved the issue to some of our customers. However, if the issue persisted, click here and follow @RokuDanny-R's latter instructions so we can further investigate the problem.
Meanwhile, we'll be closing out this thread and we suggest updating us in the thread linked above.
Thank you for your understanding.
All the best,
Kariza
