Solving playback issues

Same problem. I am in nyc.  I removed app, removed roku, rebooted modem, reinstalled roku, reinstalled app. Didnt help.

Same here. No problems up to last night when it was fine. Tonight it shows the PBS splash screen, then a black or dark gray screen, then back to the home screen for roku.

I am having the same problem on all of my Rokus with the PBS app. It just isn’t working.  The PBS logo appears, then it goes back to the Roku Home Screen. I have deleted the app, reinstalled, it still does not work on any of my Rokus. I cannot get PBS on an antenna. Streaming is the only way to get it and it isn’t functional.

The link provided is not PBS support. It’s just PBS.

Same here. Very frustrating. PBS works on desktop and laptop, but not on any of the three Roku devices I have.

Having the same issue on my Roku devices as well when trying to load the PBS app. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, cleared cache & restarted, but it's the same problem. I click to launch the app, get the blue PBS screen & then it drops me right now back to the Roku home screen.

I have done everything also, even checked my router security. Its between roku and PBS as all other apps work.

This issue is marked resolved, but it is not resolved for me, and it seems like many users are experiencing the same problem. Unresolved.
