CBS app gets "error occurred during playback" every few minutes

Jump to solution

I get this message, and the stream stops.  I have to press OK.  Then click on the show again.  It happens continuously every minute or two.  I tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it.  I tried powering down the roku and turning it on again.  Based on other posts about CBS All ACCESS and Paramount, I'm guessing it's on CBS' end?

@remfam @diloncra

Thanks for the posts.

Try removing the channel from the Roku home screen by navigating to the channel tile, pressing the * key on your remote and choosing 'Remove channel'. Then restart your device from Settings>System>System restart. Once your player starts up again, add the channel back once more, specifically in that order.

Does this clear up the issue you are seeing? Please keep us posted what you find out.

 

Thanks,

Hello @dobick

Thanks for the post.

For clarification, are you also getting the error message stated in this thread? Did you restart your Roku device before re-installing the channel? That step is crucial when performing the troubleshooting. If you haven't tried the suggested order (remove > restart > re-install), we would recommend giving it a shot once again. We also suggest doing the restart from the Settings menu by navigating to Settings > System > System restart > Restart.

Please keep us updated!


All the best,
Kariza

This is not a permanent fix. Error still occurs next time Roku is turned on. Please help, we would like to be able to watch CBS.
