Try restarting the Fire TV Stick.

I just launched Roku Channel on my Fire TV device, and Downton Abbey launched without issue, so it seems as if the app works (my Roku Channel app for Fire TV would be the same code as your Roku Channel app for Fire TV) and the service works (it played for me). So, that indicates an issue on your side. Try restarting your device.

Re: Playback fail on Firestick

Thanks for the reply and suggestion. I will try this when I get home. As you have mentioned it may be a issue my side as all was ok till I had a update on my Firestick 4k Max from Amazon which has made changes in the settings. Again thanks.

Apologies for the delay in replying. I have tried you suggestion but still having issues. It looks like the fault is my side and will try a factory reset on the firestick to see if it resolves it.  If not I will probably go out a but a Roku device as I really enjoy the content from Roku. Again thanks for reaching out to help.
