Paramount+ FF/RW, Pause, and resume problems

Jump to solution

Roku Ultra (4800 series) 
I have Paramount+ app version 8.8 build 20231113 installed.  The app updated on Nov 15th or 16th.  Since then the app has serious problem.  When you push the pause button the playback is paused, but when either push the pause button or play button to resume playback you are immediately taken back to the beginning of the title.  If you try to rewind you are immediately sent back to the start of the title.  However, if you try to fast forward you are immediately sent to the end of the title.

YES - I tried Paramount support.
All I get is the same basic canned responses.

  1. Power Cycle
  2. uninstall - reboot - reinstall
  3. factory reset - reinstall
  4. wait for next update

Tracker report info:   HT-484-049
Model:  4801RW
System ID: S0DD336JSRHT
OS Ver: 12.5.0 build 4178-DE
 Paramount+ Ver:  8.8 Build 20231113   

Anyone else see this?  Suggetions?
This Roku Ultra (4800 series) isn't three weeks old yet and I have already had to factory reset the thing 27 times so far.

Welcome, and thank you for posting here in the Roku Community, @arhurtado!

Thanks for letting us know about the playback issues you are experiencing with the Paramount Plus channel. We suggest some troubleshooting steps to help you get back on streaming. 

Kindly troubleshoot the channel by following the steps provided below:

  1. Remove the channel: navigate to your Home screen, move to the right, highlight the app, press Star*, then select Remove channel
  2. Perform a system reboot: navigate to your Home, select Settings > System > Power (skip if unavailable) > System restart
  3. Re-install the channel: navigate to your Home, scroll and choose Store, look for the app, then press Add channel

You may refer to our support article dedicated to this: How to resolve a channel playback issue

Furthermore, we suggest resetting your remote by pressing and holding the Back and Home buttons simultaneously for about 20 seconds. After doing so, re-pair it to see if this will make any difference. 

Best regards,
Carly

This has been happening to me for about a month but only with the Rumble app on Roku. My Paramount+ works fine.  When I pause and press play on Rumble it jumps back anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour.  It's extremely frustrating.  Hard to tell if it is a Roku issue or an individual app issue. I've tried resetting Roku but it's still currently happening.

I have the same problem only on Paramount+. All other streaming services just fine with Roku tv remote.

Interesting.  Makes me think it has to be a Roku issue then.  I contacted Rumble and they have no other complaints of my issue. And Paramount+ is fine for me. Hopefully, someone can figure this out.

Warmest welcome here in the Roku Community, @Jthestrup!

We appreicate you for raising your concern here with us and we regret to hear about the experience. 

In this instance, it is highly recommended to contact the channel provider themselves just like what @RokuERey suggested as this is an isolated case within the app. It is also worth taking note that channel providers themselves such as Paramount+ are the ones who maintain their app on the Roku streaming platform. 

Visit their official support website to help you reach them. 

We hope you get everything sorted out soon! 

Best regards,
Carly

Same thing happens for me. Only paramount plus, I can't resume an episode I stopped and came out of. I can use a different profile or I can restart the episode from the start but it won't resume. Seem like it's timing out searching to restart.
