[Solved] Viki not working on TV with Roku device

All other streaming channels are working on Roku/TV, except for Viki.  I am experiencing the following issue:  all of a sudden today Viki stopped working.  The circle spins and takes me back to the Roku Home Screen.  I am paid up on my subscription.  I have performed all the troubleshooting recommended by Roku and Viki.  At one point I got a screen asking me to sign in to my Viki  account and link to Roku which I did, but this did not solve the issue.

Please resolve.  Thank you.

  • My workaround:  When the menu becomes visible while Viki is loading I select the left direction arrow on my Roku remote.  This takes me to the menu where I can select mylist and the program and episode i want to watch. Hope this helps.

  • ce_ward_376 My workaround:  When the menu becomes visible while Viki is loading I select the left direction arrow on my Roku remote.  This takes me to the menu where I can select mylist and the program and episode i want to watch. Hope this helps.

    THIS WORKS!! Thank you so much!! It's the left arrow on the top button that says "ok" not the left/back arrow by the play button. I've been able to watch shows this way.

  • I managed to get in... left arrow alone wasn't working for me, I hit the down arrow as it was loading and once it tried to load the menu that plus a couple lefts seemed to interrupt the load failure and get me in. Just don't go 'Home' once you're in or it'll crash again. Obviously the problem is on the home menu screen option... I wonder why it's taking them so long to fix.

  • Can we get an update on this issue? I understand that you wre saying Viki does not have a timeline but that is not a customer-oriented approach. It is important to be transparent. People are spending hard earned money on this app with the expectation that is will work accurately across all platfroms and not jus viki.com. Generally, large companies are fixing these problems within 24-72 hours and letting the customer know their progress. I have been a member for years and am considering cancellation of an app that I truly enjoy when it is working.

  • It's been 3 days without viki on roku. The work around worked yesterday but didn't work this morning. Viki needs to fix or start thinking of crediting back the number days that viki has been unavailable on roku.

  • I’m going on day 5 of no Viki? Will I be compensated for this? I watched on my iPhone last night but with all the comments I missed so much of the program. Not happy at all and am looking into other services that I can watch Asian shows on!

  • I managed to get in by using a method similar to others. As soon as the "spinner" stopped and the icons on the left side of the screen appeared I tried using the left arrow (next to "ok") but was unsuccessful. However, using the same method but pressing the down arrow (just below "ok") did work. Missed two days and evenings with this shenanigans and it's getting old now. Pretty annoying.

  • Viki app worked on my PC  laptop just fine. BUT, that's not what I want to do, dragging out the HDMI cable, etc. Please get the Viki app to work on TV with ROKU.
