Changed my Roku to stereo. Fixed the issue.

I tried switching to stereo (audio mode and output format, individually) and I was unable to play video at all (Ted Lasso), It just gave me an "unable to play video" error. Switch it back and it works fine

Don't know which Roku model you have, but Roku 4 is not compatible with Apple Tv+.

Just read your earlier post that you have a different model, so this won't help you. Sorry.

I have a Roku Streaming Stick+ which is compatible. I had been using Apple TV+ for 6 months with no problems before this started happening.

Hi @bdoserror,

Thanks for the follow-up.

Are all other streaming channels playing content normally?

Have you tried the steps previously posted by @RokuDanny-R to see if that resolves the issue?

If yes, we would also recommend getting the latest Apple TV channel version by checking for a channel update using your * button on the channel tile or going to Settings for a System Update there. Then, restart your player. 

Keep us posted and we'll continue assisting from there if needed.

Best regards,
Mary

Yes, as I said in my first message, all other channels work fine.

I've tried doing an update, the version number hasn't changed even though it always says it did an update. 

Yes, as I said in my reply to @RokuDanny-R , I tried his steps with no result. Those steps, as every other user in the forum has said, don't do anything.

The channel/app is clearly broken, and it happened recently.

@RokuMary-F 

Is anyone actually reading this WHOLE thread? People have tried all of those things and have stated such. I still don;t know why this thread is marked "solved" when the solution provided did not fix it. 

All apps on my Roku Express work fine EXCEPT the Apple TV one. And as noted, it worked fine before the Roku updated a few months ago.

@bdoserror @Texas-Mark

Thanks for the posts.

If you are unable to resolve the issue, can you please provide us the following information:
-Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and software OS/version (these can all be found in Settings > System > About)
-does this issue occur on a specific channel? if so, 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)
-tracker ID when this issue occurs (when you see this issue occur, press the Home button 5 times, followed by the Back button 5 times)
-steps to reproduce the issue you are seeing

Once we have this information, we will be able to pass it along to the appropriate Roku team to investigate further.

Thanks,
Danny

I'm leaving my serial number / device ID out for now as that seems like sensitive information. If you really need it I can DM it to you.
