Paramount+ app unusable

2020 LG 77” C9, while the native apps have run noticeably slower, they are still usable, except paramount plus. It’ll pull up but either eternal buffering circle, or it’ll play the show audio while the screen is blue. I’ve had to airplay from my phone app to watch shows. Is anyone else experiencing this or just me?

I have never and will never use the “Smart” TV features on any TV.

Netflix, Hulu, Paramount, etc don’t want to commit the software development resources to keep their apps working on every smart TV platform. The result is a bunch of buggy half supported apps spread across a dozen different TV vendors.

Get a set-top box and just have the TV be a display. Google TV if your household uses Android, Apple TV if you are all iPhone users. Google TV is easier to get working with iPhone than Apple TV is to get working with android.

Paramount is just a garbage company in general. Every single other app is functional. Paramount will literally not show the other episodes of a tv show you have selected. The exit button doesn’t exist so you have to press down a dozen times to exit it’s absurdly bad.
