Re: Prime Video app opens but wont play shows/movies on Roku Premiere or Roku Express

Jump to solution

@thebrunks,

If a specific channel is not properly working, there may be an issue within the channel itself that the service provider will need to investigate. Content is managed by each channel provider directly. If you observe an issue with any particular movie or TV show on a particular streaming channel, you'll need to contact the channel provider to report this issue and request more help. You can reach out to Amazon; they'll be able to best assist with any issues that occur within their channel.

Thanks,

I already contacted Amazon regarding their channel.  They did troubleshooting with me and determined that it is an issue with Roku and that I would need to contact Roku for further help.  I CAN get Prime Video content to play correctly from the Prime Video website (both Firefox and Chrome browsers on a Windows device) and from the Prime Video app on my Android phone.  The videos will NOT play from the Roku app, which is why Amazon says it is a ROKU problem and I have to contact Roku.

Hello, 

I have the same issue as well, Amazon says it's an issue on Roku's side but after trouble shooting with Roku I still can't watch anything on Prime. Very frustrating.

Has there been a resolution? I have 5 Rokus at the same house and prime works on 3 out of the 5. What can we do?

I'm having this same issue on two TCL Roku TVs.  One is:

Model: C110X -Roku TV

SN: X00000X74DCP (S041D0174DCP)

Version: 12.5.5 BUILD 4174-93

GC: 10.7.26

ID CP-060-662

 

Removed app, rebooted, installed app, rebooted, logged in, still not working.  Cleared cache, not working.  Works on anything except a Roku device on the same network with wifi or wired.
