Re: Max not working all of a sudden.

@Alan_A,

Thanks for update!

Let see if connecting your device to an alternative network like mobile hotspot helps. If you haven't any luck, we would recommend to contact the channel team if you haven't tried and report this for additional support.

Feel free to give us an update on how it goes.

Thanks,
Rey

Re: Max not working all of a sudden.

I am having the exact same issue. Perfectly fine up until recently. I am getting the same error message as you described.

Re: Max not working all of a sudden.

Tried connecting to different network as well as updating the channel. Still receiving same alphanumeric error message. How do I contact the channel team?

Re: Max not working all of a sudden.

Signing out and logging in with my tv provider worked perfectly. Thanks for that update. Saved me a ton of time troubleshooting.

I am not able to open Max on Roku. I can watch it on my phone and iPad. What is happening?

Re: Max not working all of a sudden.

I have 5 Rokus and seriously want to throw them all out.  I reported this issue to Roku 3 months ago.  Now apparently they will no longer support and take support issues for the 4K.  Their solution which is so impractical still works.  So I sign in with provider.  I can browse and see all profiles, but when trying to play content get that error message that something went wrong.  If I uninstall, reinstall and then have to sign in again it all works.  Completely not practical and this is the only channel this happens with.

So disappointed with Roku though.  Will never buy another one!!!  They just dumped support for these products and I only bought my last one in Oct.  Shame on Roku!
