Use Roku's system-update check and the documented app update controls to confirm current software. Record the versions where available before repeating the failed action; a successful update check alone is not a playback test.
Why this happens
Device software and streaming apps can require separate updates. A bug can persist in the component that was not changed.
Work through the steps
- Record the Roku software version.
- Run Roku's supported update check.
- Check the affected app's update option where offered.
- Reopen it and repeat the original failing action.
What to avoid
Keep the device powered during installation. Avoid removing an app until its account and purchase recovery information is available.
Know what changed
Identify which component changed and whether the same trigger now works. If nothing was updated, report that result without claiming a new version was installed.
