HI @Bjscott,

Thanks for your response!

We appreciate the details. Does the issue occur on a specific channel or all the channels installed on your device?

Please be aware that if you cannot play videos and videos from the other channels play fine, contact the channel provider's customer support team to report the issue and get help.

The channel developers themselves maintain channels on Roku. In this case, an issue within that specific channel likely needs to be addressed with an update from the channel developer.

You may reach them here: Lifetime Support.

All the best,
Chel

Hi @Bjscott,

Thanks for keeping in touch!

If you are already in touch with the channel provider's Support team, we recommend continuing to work with them as they would best assist you moving forward.

However, for troubleshooting purposes, we suggest you uninstall and reinstall the Roku app and sign back in; we recommend giving it a shot once again.

We hope to get everything sorted out soon.

All the best,
Chel

Thanks for your cooperation, @Bjscott!

Yes, you can also try rebooting the router and then proceeding to the steps I've provided above.

In addition, please let the provider's customer support team know the troubleshooting steps you took with us to resolve the issue so that they are aware and can provide other steps besides this.

We appreciate your effort in resolving the issue.

All the best,
Chel
