Re: On my Roku channel I find a movie to watch and push play and instead of playing the movie, it...

Having the exact same issue. I can play the movie on my laptop on the Roku channel, but it won't play on my TV using my streambar.

@jrbing13 

From this posting, https://community.roku.com/t5/Channels-viewing/Generating-a-Tracker-Issue-ID-to-report-a-bug/m-p/864..., you can get the Tracker ID in two ways.

1. With a Roku Voice Remote, press the microphone button and say "Tracker ID".

2. Using any Roku Remote, press the Home button at least 5 times, then press the Back Button 5 times.
