Same PAUSE problem (but not their only problem: MAX video always hangs at the beginning of an episode, sometimes forgets what episode we're on, and may forget language preferences). The Tracker ID below refers to the pause malfunction (need to press twice - which happens only on MAX).

Configuration settings:

Dev Model 4120X-Roku2

Serial 4A654D019933

Dev ID ??

GC ver: 12.1.17

SW ver: 13.1.4 build 1510-04

Tracker ID: 33-365-611

I have been having this problem with max also.  Pause and play only work if time bar is displayed.  So I have to hit pause once to get time bar and again to actually pause.  Annoying.  Today I got out an old roku to set up in a spare room.  The problem did not exist on the max channel.  I then did a roku system update becuase well why not and now problem is back.  Tells me it’s a roku related problem.

When you updated the Roku, the app itself, and any other old apps, were updated. Ideally, you should have checked the version (press star key when the tile is highlighted) both before and after any OS update.

You know what’s ironic Roku, your comment is listed on here twice haha, just like the play/pause max issue (which I’ve also been experiencing).
