Re: Error: Can't run channel. Prime, YouTube, etc.

Jump to solution

I am using Roku Express+, Model 3910RW, software 10.0.0, Build 4209-51.  I have tried all the solutions offered multiple times, over several days.  Still not functioning.  Any other ideas or solutions? Thanks.

FTR, it doesnt matter whether you ever changed the theme or the screensaver - Roku changes both on occasion for different reasons.

So, try the 4 steps - you have nothing to lose:

ATTENTION:  If you still cant load YouTube/YouTube (or other apps):

1) Check for updates:  Settings/System/System update/Check now

2) Restore the default theme:  Settings/Theme/Restore default theme

3) Use a simple screensaver:  Settings/Theme/Screensavers/Roku Digital Clock/Set as screensaver

4) Load YT/YTTV/apps

** EVEN IF YOU ALREADY PERFORMED THESE STEPS, DO THEM AGAIN **

Roku says problem with Sling, Amazon Prime Video is fixed... just checked for update, I am up to date. Did a factory reset with help of Sling live customer service person. As of 3pm EST on 9/17/21. It still doesn't work! Thank God I have an AirTV Mini. Sling works fine on it!
