Prime and Netflix crashing
There are a few possible reasons why your Prime and Netflix apps are crashing on your Roku TVs. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try before resorting to reinstalling apps or factory resetting:
Check for software updates: Make sure that your Roku TV is running on the latest software update. You can check for updates by going to Settings > System > System update > Check now. If there are updates available, follow the instructions to install them.
Check your internet connection: Make sure that your Roku TV is connected to a stable and strong internet connection. You can check your internet connection speed by going to Settings > Network > Check connection. If your connection is weak or unstable, try resetting your router or contacting your internet service provider.
Clear app cache: Go to Settings > System > Advanced system settings > App > Netflix/Prime Video > Clear cache. This will clear any temporary files and data stored by the app, which may help resolve the issue.
Uninstall and reinstall the app: If clearing the cache doesn’t work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Netflix/Prime Video app. To do this, go to Settings > System > Advanced system settings > App > Netflix/Prime Video > Remove channel. Then, go to the Roku Channel Store and search for the app to reinstall it.
If none of these steps work, then a factory reset or contacting Roku support may be the next best option.
