[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.

  • It's the same issue for me, and I just updated Viki on my Roku, and it's aggravating that I can't get to the home screen and watch anything!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I tried uninstalling & reinstalling Viki version 22.4 on my Roku. Still not working yesterday or today 4/21. I left feedback on the Roku. The channel will attempt to load for about a second or two and then just goes back to the home screen. Unfortunately the left arrow workaround did not work for me :(

  • @ce_ward_376 Thx for the work around. Can get to my watch list but not home page. So some kind of glitch with home page loading I think.

  • I tried clicking on the Viki App on my Roku Ultra streaming device and it froze up the Roku device, had to unplug the roku ultra and restart it. Viki app has been a problem since Wednesday when it updated to the new version. Viki needs to reimburse us for our subscriptions....
