  I am still having an issue with the roku "skill" in alexa not working.  The error states:

             "Unable to link Roku with Alexa.    We are experiencing a problem connecting with the skill to link

             your account.

             You can try linking your account again by visiting the roku skill page."

 

I did nothing to cause the skill to stop working. It did this on it's own.  Amazon told me they have had several requests for a fix.

Re: Problem With Alexa + Roku TV

Jump to solution

Hi Danny. Still can't change channels using Alexa. She responds saying she is changing the channel but the screen comes up saying "Sorry, something went wrong.... " . Turning off/on & volume control/mute work fine.

Here is my device information: 

Roku TV: 8612X
Sanyo Model: FW50R48FC
Serial Number: YK00A3563818
Software Version: 11.0.0  build 4193-64

Tried to access the track I'd as you asked, but could not get that information to show.

We've tried uninstalling & reinstalling the Alexa skill & reestablishing the Alexa/Roku account link.

Hope this helps to track down the issue preventing this feature to work properly.
