Some apps on Roku play sound but not picture

Just today when I tried to watch something on the PBS app all I got was sound and no picture.  Tried Paramount, same thing.  Netflix is working fine as is MAX.  All screens look good, showing all apps and programs within apps, but when I select a program to play on PBS or Paramount I get a black screen with sound.  It was working fine last night.  What could the problem be? I might add that I can open these apps on my iPad and I get a picture.
