My wife has been using Roku about a year ago now. We recently went to streaming with YTTV. She has a subscription for Peacock with Roku. We also have Netflix. I’ve been getting used to it but for the life of me cannot get any of the movies from the Roku channel to play. It just shows the background and movie title when I hit play. Am I not doing something right? Our account is up to date. It’s just frustrating as hell!

I pretty much keep my Roku Channel playlist short.

Nothing but the Rockford Files.

Are you only having an issue with movies?

Dumb question...but did you try to check for a system update?

Have you tried unplugging to reset? That seems to solve any issues I’ve had with a Roku

We have to unplug two of our older Rokus every few weeks for various reasons. I think we'll need to replace them before long. It's becoming more frequent over the past few months.

Strange first sentence but I’m doing the exact same and not experiencing any problems.

Yep, tried that also and nothing. I can other channels to play fine, but Roku isn't playing nice.

What's Peacock have to do with the Roku Channel?

We pay for Peacock through our Roku account.

This is what i got from Roku chat:
