    Paramount plus straight up doesnt work on my TV anymore. I won a stupid fucken Roku thats massive so thats another part of the problem cause you can’t do shit on Roku to troubleshoot that aside from just factory resetting the TV

    • The paramount app has literally never worked for me on any device. Every time I have had a free trial and tried to watch any Star Trek, it could never actually find or play the media (like, that was the error I would get; not that I could not find the shows). It’s wild they even have free trials when the shit doesn’t even work. Why the fuck would I pay for something that doesn’t work?

        The app was so sporadic and unpredictable for me on a modern TV that I tried it for two years but I finally had to cancel.

      The Android app is also bad. They never figured out how to use the correct fullscreen API, so you see the white bar / soft button at the bottom while videos are playing. And they didn’t get the media API right either so bluetooth headset play/pause buttons don’t work.

        It is, but my ship is still being constructed to sail. So I’m still paying for streaming. I need to quit my job so I have time to setup my jellyfin server and start collecting.

      I had to stop, uninstall, and reinstall on my LG TV. Maybe there was a data purge in there somewhere, too.

      It took the experience from a 2 to a 4.
