My paramount plus is not working, I’ve tried on other devices that isn’t Roku and it works. It says “an error has occurred during playback please try again” I have done everything it’s told me like restarting the Roku deleting the app and redownloading it and I’m still having this issue. Any suggestions?

Rest assured, we'll flag this concern to the appropriate Roku team for further investigation. To help the team better assess this issue, could you provide us with the following details?

I want to change my Paramount+ login to get on a new account, but the app on Roku won't let me sign out, even though I've canceled my old subscription. I really don't like the idea of doing a system reset and having to start over, but it sounds like that may be the only option. And Paramount+ is no help, either.

Been getting the same thing for a few weeks now. Works fine on apple devices / appletv.. done the uninstall and reboot ‘solution’ a couple of times with no effect.

Hello Janadee,

I have been experiencing this problem for at least a week or two.  It generally occurs within the minute before a commercial break.  The error is "Error.    Unfortunately, an error occurred during playback.  Please try again."  Requested information is provided below:
