Thanks for the reply. Workaround I've found for Prime is to fast forward during a show and then rewind back to point I want to start watching. That seems to help the crashing. I've put in tickets with Showtime about their app being the only one to require constant activation on my Roku TV. I know it's not on Roku but the developers of the app. Just frustrating when the 10+ other apps I use on Roku do not have these issues. And even though I have access to premium content via FuboTV (used to have Spectrum), I still use the individual apps just out of habit and to make sure I don't miss any app exclusive content.
I posted this in the first extra reply post, so scroll up and you'll find this post. If they don't let me delete extra posts, then I'm going to recycle them if I can.
I'm confused ActtBadd, is Prime crashing while you were watching a show or when you begin the show? I thought it crashed when you started to play the movie/show, so I just clicked play, saw a little of the Amazon trailer that runs before the movie, and then I exited the movie because I'm going to watch that later. If it's during the movie/show and not right at the beginning, this could be affecting my Roku players as well, so thanks for the workaround. The problem, though was I was planning to watch the download of that movie from Prime on my laptop while doing laundry later this week since I don't have internet access when doing that, so I still won't know if I have the glitch. I just hope the movie doesn't expire tomorrow and I get to watch it. How far do you get in a movie/show before it crashes? Because I could test to see if that happens to me. As you've probably figured out, I just don't watch Prime all that often, which isn't good because I'm paying for it.
I just saw a forum where people were having issues with Netflix a couple of weeks ago, so a lot of this is going on. Like you, I subscribe to a lot of channels too, so if a glitch happens like this, I just watch a different channel until it's resolved. Like I didn't even know about the Netflix issue a couple of weeks back because I was watching a lot of Hulu and HBOmax. But then I heard HBOmax is glitching too, and that did freeze my Roku after I recently finished a movie, so that could be a part of what people were talking about. But now I'm probably not going to watch HBOmax till the end of the month, so that will probably resolve itself by then since I usually switch to Showtime since they expire some movies I want to see during the beginning of the month.
And regarding Showtime, was I right that you subscribe through Amazon channels and you're watching through Showtime Anytime? Or are you subscribed through Paramount Plus and getting Showtime that way as an add-on? It shouldn't be happening if you're subscribed directly through Showtime.com because then you're paying them directly. But yeah, these logouts are especially annoying when I download movies on my phone in the event the internet goes out, and then Showtime Anytime logs me out, and they all get deleted.
I used to have Spectrum too, but I never watched it because I prefer on-demand commercial-free movies and shows. I can still watch the networks and other various channels if I need to, but I never do.
