I've been using the MAX streaming service since the HBO rebranding and have had no issues with playing any 4K HDR content. However I noticed today my TV no longer is playing any 4K content from MAX while the rest of my ROKU apps still play 4K just fine. My TV shows it rebooted a night ago so I'm not sure if it had a 12.0 xxxx update. Anyone else able to stream 4K from MAX on your roku?

Hi! @bohratom,
Thanks for reaching out to the Roku Community!

We would be more than happy to look further into this issue, but we will need more detailed information. Can you please provide us with 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 by 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, and provide us with this ID)

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

Thanks,

Arjiemar

Someone that works for MAX stated "It seems this has only happened to those who subscribe to Max through third party providers (i.e., direct subscribers to Max still have 4k/HDR) and it occurred because of an AWS outage. The hope is 4k/HRDR will be restored in a few days as the account authentication filters down again. " We will see 😆 

Please do not close this thread until it is resolved.

MAX now once again has 4K HDR working for 3rd party customers who signed up with other providers.

Ok...I can't wait to test this out because the lack of 4k on my TLC Roku tv for MAX has been driving me batty!!!

I log in with my verizon info...
