I came here to read posts after facing the same issue. The “watch on mobile” option just was not available for most shows. After troubleshooting in every way noted, I observed that I was able to “watch on mobile” everything in my “continue watching on tv” section of app by touching ellipses under thumbnail, but this was not an option for anything in my “save list” nor anything else I searched.  To test this theory, I loaded content on my Roku device, started a show there, watched for 2 minutes or so, then returned to mobile app and viola I now see option to watch on mobile. Hope this helps others who may have issue!  Also maybe help Roku resolve issue!

Recent app does not allow watching on mobile device. Only plays thru ruko devices.

I stopped watching Roku when they removed the option of watching in a mobile devise. And I will not be buying any Roku  TV in the future. Bye Roku! Ain’t missed them a bit.
