How can I let someone know that the wrong episode subtitles are showing for “Honey I Bought the House” on the Roku Channel? It’s very difficult to watch when you need the subtitles and they are attached to the wrong episode. I cannot find any mechanism to contact anyone to let them know.

Thanks,

Russlynn

I'm so glad I found this post, because I have NO idea who to tell or where to ask the question!  Did you ever figure it out?

I've noticed the wrong subtitles on The Nanny (S4 E10) - they seem to be the subtitles from an episode of T.J. Hooker.  I use the subtitles to supplement my hearing, so it's very disconcerting.

Hi @Merrgh,

Thanks for the post.

Can you please provide more information about the issue you are experiencing? Does this happen on all movies/shows in The Roku channel or just a specific episode? 

In addition, can you please specify the exact steps you are taking to reproduce this issue so we can investigate further?

With more information, we will be able to assist you further.

Thanks,

Mary

The issue: When I watch this one specific episode of The Nanny (Season 4, Episode 10, "The Car Show"), the subtitles are always from an episode of T.J. Hooker - based on the names listed in the subtitles, I'm guessing the subtitles are from Season 3, Episode 2, "Carnal Express". 

Edit: Apparently Season 3 Episode 16 of The Nanny (titled "The Grandmas") is also showing subtitles from a T.J. Hooker episode, which I'm guessing to be Season 4, Episode 10, "Grand Theft Auto".

The subtitles are clearly unrelated to what is happening onscreen, and are obviously timed for the action of a different show.  The problem occurs every time I watch that particular episode, even after restarting the Roku device and checking for updates.  However, this is the only episode where this happens.

Thank you!

Not only does this happen VERY frequently on my 4630, across most of the series I watch...but it also affects the filmstrip view when fast-forwarding or rewinding through an episode...the previous episode’s filmstrip is displayed.  This has been going on for well over a year, off and on....but mostly the problem is happening than not. 

PLEASE FIX THIS!!!

It happens to me very frequently. Often when watching one episode subtitles will be correct and when I go to the next episode they are totally unrelated. I have noticed this on multiple shows for example TJ Hooker and Mike Hammer. It also happens on different channels, for example Roku Channel and Paramount+ and even Amazon Prime Video. Sometimes just stopping and restarting corrige issue but usually not. This is getting very frustrating.
