PAramont Plus still not working

[ibaguru]

Roku has given up and now say's to work with Paramount since they created the app.

I cancelled the subscription thru Roku and now have it via Prime. Same price.

Another user said they had to get a new Roku stick.

I'm guessing it is an incompatibility issue with a recent Paramount update and the Roku platform... with no incentive to fix it for either party.

Much like an Apple update and an old Canon printer that don't know how to talk to each other anymore ...

ahhhh the life of technology..

I opened a case on MARCH 29-- still not fixed...

Having had this problem and walked through the issues and done some testing myself I think this issue is both with Roku and Paramount+ so everyone still having the issues needs to report it to Roku AND Paramount+ for any fix to be effective. 

Not having access to code (or a devices where the app isn’t working anymore. Mine works now) here is what I saw and my take on the issue. 

1. the remove app option not being available. This is strange and should function the same across all devices. Roku needs to look into this because if it is available in one place it should be available everywhere unless there is a different app for each device - which I do not see happening. 

2. the app not functioning. When I had this problem the only content that would not play was content with ads. With further research I found the ad content was having issues being served. Now was this issue with Paramount+ or their ad server I do not know. But on Roku, once the trouble occurred with the ad the app could not recover and it crashed the app. Now potentially the issue could be with error recovery in the app or on Roku’s end or both I’m not sure. 

this is what was happening on my end. I never lost the ability to delete the app. My issues with the app crashing was only on content with ads. Once the Paramount app updated my issue with the crash went away. 

so everyone still having the issue report it to the app developers (Paramount+). Contact information is in this thread. And report it with as much detail as possible to Roku.

I opened a case on 3/29--it is now somewhat escalated at paramountplus--just sent an email to Roku  thanks!

I am also thinking that some of the app developers are not keeping up with their apps properly as Roku updates their code. 

For example, Amazon Prime Video on Roku has some real issues with HDR. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. I switch over to prime on my Chromecast with GoogleTV works every time.

-device ID- not one of choices unter settings/system/about
-software OS/version 10.0.0 BUILD 4195-24
(these can all be found in Settings > System > About)
-what channel and what version/build is the channel (this can be found be selecting the channel on the Home screen and pressing the * button) paramount plus version 5.2 build 20210421

-steps to reproduce the issue you are seeing
Issues:
1) shows I watch do not appear in “keep watching” –Sunday, I watched NCIS New Orleans and The Equalizer—neither is in my “keep watching” list. Bold and Beautiful, which to the best of my knowledge I have never watched in my entire life IS in “keep watching”
2) when I go to a program I always watch that is not in “keep watching,” it does not show which shows I have already watched
3) live TV does not work: my local channel koin, either does not load (a circle keeps going around), or the picture and sound do not match, or first I gt the picture and sound and THEN it stops loading, and I get the circle.
I have done complete resets—have followed the same instructions from paramount plus tech support multiple times—it is now actually worse than when i first opened my case on MARCH 29

On item numbers1/2, since I’ve had Paramount+ the items in keep watching are not always consistent. Most of the time when a new episode comes out the series will reappear in keep watching while all the exclusive Paramount+ content I watch stays in Keep Watching even when I completed a series. 

On item 3 live TV quality is terrible. If I watch CBS live on the Xfinity app or my local channel app the quality is much better.
