Roku 12.0 Livestream Playback Issue
We've identified an issue with Roku devices on Roku software version 12.0 where some users are unable to access the local livestream on the PBS app on Roku. More users may experience this issue as Roku releases the update to more devices over the coming week. We are working on a hotfix and are following up with Roku about the issue. We will update this page as we have news.

The local livestream is returning an error message on Roku devices and buffering indefinitely on Amazon and Android devices, including Amazon Fire Stick, Fire TV, and Android phones. On Roku, the livestream returns the error message: "Unable to play video. An error occurred while trying to play this video. Error details: Protected content license error." For now, we are asking viewers to try the livestream again at a later time until we can investigate the cause and full impact of this issue.
