my Pluto channel is not working on any Roku device in my home

Jump to solution

Mine to. I have loaded it to my page and watching a movie then poof! It disappears. I have rebooted and reset everything. This also happens to the app "FreeMovies". This is only happening to my Roku not my smart TV.

Any suggestions on what else I can do?

Has this problem been fixed? It is 04/07/2024 and this issue just happened to me! Has there been a fix or is the content truly unauthorized? Rokutv, xemo, and Pluto were alll having the same issue. Tubi & Plex seems to work.

Mine won't open either no matter what I do. It just keeps bouncing back to the icon.

I am still having this problem with Pluto. It skips and sputters on any Pluto channel.

I have restarted, reinstalled and still have issues.
