nothing on Roku channel plays at all

For some reason Roku channel Contant on any of my devices, Roku or even Amazon fire TV with Roku app installed, no title will play. There doesn't seem to be even an attempt to connect, I choose an episode or movie and nothing happens except the typical Roku sound of pressing any button. I have not used Roku for a while and I have updated the software and oh channels. I'm not aware of a way to remove the Roku channel so I am kind of stuck hopefully someone can assist. Thank you in advance

Re: nothing on Roku channel plays at all

Thanks, however especially in light of the fact that other people are experiencing it, and that it's happening regardless of the device or the IP that I use (both my Comcast ISP as well as my cellular connection tethering), and two Roku premiere, as well as on the Roku channel app on all my Fire TV devices, this seems to be a more global problem in my opinion. when I try to watch Contant on Fire TV, I get an error message saying "playback error we were unable to play discounted please try again later", and on Roku devices it just makes the Roku typical sound and nothing else. i'm located in New York City, but I prefer her not to disclose my IP addresses in a public forum. Anyway as I said it happens on multiple devices and connections. I'll be happy to give you one of the devices serial number so you can check on your end-Roku premier serial number YH00EE161098 software version 12.0.0 build 4148-91 device ID K4218E161098.  tracker Id following the steps is 98-329-310

Here is a link of a video that I made to a list three houses happens on Roku premiere and on fire TV cube:

Re: nothing on Roku channel plays at all

disappointing to have a community moderator, someone from Roku, request  and receive all this information, which required effort, and not respond despite the fact that many people are having issues. Hopefully this will be amended and a follow up will be made here
