Wondering if anyone has experienced frame drops/stuttering during local streaming in xbmc or netflix?
I get frame drops and sound loss every minute or so using both netflix and xbmc... My WiFi reads as excellent... And the NP is in the same place as my chromecast which played everything without problems... Wondering if I have a defective unit...
Thanxs

I have this problem but not with audio loss. I noticed watching a couple google play movies this weekend. Same boat as you with excellent wifi and chromecast is fine. I am wondering if it is defective also. I was gonna call google later today. I have till friday to send it back. Did you figure anything out?
I'd have to say that the problem has gone away for the most part... Might have been an updated issue or something else. But I haven't used netflix or Kodi for a while... Been hooked on popcorntime which works fine...

I bought 2 Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7" tablets for my kids at Christmas. Whenever I connect bluetooth headphones or speakers Google apps will crash. Has anyone else experienced this?
So I have an update. I found this happens when the tablets are in restricted profiles but if I try to use Bluetooth on a standard profile it works fine. Anyone else have this issue?

Currently having this issue... anyone solve this yet?
(I hope it's okay to talk about icefilms here. If not, please delete. Thanks.)
I just got my nexus player couple of days ago and I really wanna replace my old openelec pc asap. It's so nice to have a all in one solution for all my media including some emulatuon gaming...
The problem is with kodi. I can't start any stream on icefilms. No matter which hoster. It resolves the link and seems start but then it aborts right away. I'm on kodi 15 isengard. Same version works just fine on my phone in the same network...
Is anybody else seeing the same problem? Happend on 14.2 too...
Works for me.. Kodi build from the Play Store.. Maybe try Icefilms links from Genesis add-on?
Netflix Audio Woes
I know this has been talked about a lot, but nothing in the past month or so...
Netflix (ver. 2.3.0) won't play 5.1 audio but Kodi plays surround sound without problems. Netflix support also says it's not their app and that is it something lost in translation (maybe literally) when the NP outputs to the AVR. The AVR has not had any issues with the DD+ from Chromecast Netflix - I'm stumped.
Any thoughts? Anyone having similar issues? I just picked up the NP yesterday btw.
Thanks for the input!
I have exactly the same problem. Netflix says, it correctly delivers 5.1 audio to the player, but my pioneer AV receiver just gets 2.0 PCM!
What I have tested so far:
Netflix-App on Nexus 5 -＞ Chromecast -＞ Pioneer VSX-924: DD+ 5.1 OK
Netflix-App on Nexus Player -＞ Pioneer VSX-924: just 2.0 PCM
Netflix-App on Nexus Player -＞ Onkyo TX-SR606: DD+ 5.1 OK
I have swapped cables and inputs.
Netflix blames Pioneer, Pioneer blames Google/ASUS, ASUS says "its a compatibility issue we cannot help"
simpsojp, what AVR do you have?
Hi,
Seeing an similar issue on my brand new Denon AVR-X2200.
Only getting PCM when choosing 5.1 in Netflix. Getting distorted sound.
Seeing the same problem in Plex on my Nexus player.
All other inputs works fine. Chromecast, tv tuner etc..

I have a Pioneer VSX-1019ah-k. I just naively tried editing build.prop to set media.aac_51_output_enabled=false but as one would expect, it was not that easy. I know my AVR (and probably yours chr1ssss) can't decode AAC 5.1 so if something in the NP is taking the Netflix audio stream and converting it to AAC 5.1, I would just get a stereo PCM audio stream. Other's with newer Onkyo AVRs seem to have success so it has to be a codec output issue.
I believe this is not a Netflix problem but an Android OS problem. I'm going to try flashing Marshmallow as another easy fix attempt but I'm not holding out much hope. If anyone has any suggestions to the proper use of the build.prop settings, I'm all ears. In no way do I want an AAC 5.1 stream leaving my NP!
I can happily report that Marshmallow worked!!! NP now let's Netflix pass through 5.1 DD+!! Now to get root back.

Thanks for your reply, I will update to Marshmallow asap.
I was emailing with Pioneer and chatting with Netflix multiple times - everybody keeped blaming the other company
Google never responded to any of my questions.
Marshmallow did it!
DD+ now works.
Glad it worked for you too!
Marshmallow fixed my issue too. Nexus Player + Pioneer Elite SC-67. I always just got static when trying to play 5.1 in Netflix before. Now it is fixed in 6.0
Did you have to enable a setting for pass through or did it just work?

AFAIK there are no audio settings which could be adjusted, neither in Android itself nor in Netflix. If the Netflixapp recognizes that your euqipment is capabble to play DD+ 5.1 it offers the audiotrack.
Unfortunately even after Marshmallow Netflix still wont play DD, as a test i installed the Archos Player and it played movies in 5.1 with no issues so it's not the nexus player, anyone have any ideas, something I could try?
thank you.

What AVR are you using?
5.1 and DolbyDigital/DolbyDigitalPlus are not the same. I was able to play 5.1 PCM via Google Play Movies even with Lollipop.

I have Yamaha YSP-3000 it supports Dolby Digital Pro Logic II
Has anyone gotten any further with this? Is there some trick to getting it to work?
For most of us, updating to Android 6 fixed the issue.
Not for me, unfortunately - Kodi & Plex output DD, Netflix does not. Running 6.0.1. Anything else I could try to get it to work?
Swapping cables, resetting and updating devices you could try. As there is no setting to adjust or logs you could check, your options are pretty limited.
Contacting the vendorsupport might help too.
I have a S9+ that I use Dex and Lod while having Netflix stream on the phones display. That is thanks to Goodlock/Multistar. The solution works great! I am trying to do the same thing with my S5e but I only get sound and no video. Does anyone have ideas how to remedy this? Has anyone else run into this isuue?
Thanks,
Edit: YouTube and Hulu do not have the same issue.
