Solving playback issues

My PBS works now. I went through the PBS support process here:

https://help.pbs.org/support/home

Click on Roku and follow the process.

Finally reactivated this morning.  Obviously a PBS problem.

Monday Nov. 18th. PBS is now streaming on my Roku device (connected to TV). I did not email them for a new activation code.

Try pressing OK button a few times before it reverts back. You should get a screen saying to activate the PBS app with an activation code. Log into pbs.org/activate and enter the code.

It worked for me. Seems the issue related to reactivating the PBS app rather than a ROKU issue.

Same problem here. PBS worked fine until yesterday. Now, I'm experiencing the same problem.  I have a smart TV in another room, and the app still works fine on it.  All the normal troubleshooting steps do not help.

PBS is now working on both of our Roku Ultras. PBS comes up and then blinks and comes up. I had to activate but now they are both working. Not sure which of the following updates fixed it. I do remember this happening a couple of years ago though.

PBS Version 5.8 build 3

Roku Updated at 5:45AM 11/18/24 with Version 14.0.4 Build 12221

Something tells me that it was on their end. App has not updated.

When i got up this morning and tried accessing pbs app, i actually got the activation screen with a code to acrivate - which i did thru my phone and the pbs screen with access opened up on my tv without having to reset my router- worth a try! Maybe they fixed it for everyone!

Rocky Mountain PBS and PBS12 both up and running just fine now Monday morning 11/18/24.

Same here. A reactivation screen appeared for the PBS app this morning. Once I completed those steps the app works again.
