Playback Issues - Audio/Video & Power

[Morso]

Being a little hard of hearing, I need closed captions. I set them up with my Roku Express, but it won't work with Prime video. All other channels are OK.

Prime Video, in their infinite wisdom, have chosen not to use the default Roku controls for this function, but instead programmed their own.

While viewing a program, press the down arrow, then arrow over to the right to highlight CC. Press OK to toggle CC on/off.

It works! Thanks so much, I had stopped using Prime because of this problem. Their site didn't provide me with that information, so kudos to you!

Glad to be able to help. And a BIG thank you for reporting back. Unless the loop gets closed, subequent readers don't know if the advice given is any good.

On Amazon Prime I am getting the cc, but they are small, with no background and no way to adjust the size or background. I went into my prime account and the default shows white text, on a black background and 3 other presets, but that is not what I'm getting. My TCL Roku is also set to have white text on black background. Do you have any idea how I can get Amazon to recognize either their settings or the Roku settings, since it is ignoring both? (BTW - this is recent, because Prime used to have the white on black like all of the other channels.)
