[Q] Google Play Music broken after 4.4.2? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
Does anyone have problem with Google Play Music after the KitKat upgrade?
After the upgrade when i try to play a song, it gives me an error after a few minutes: "Music Playback error. Can't play the track you requested,"
I tried to remove the updates from Play Music, clear data from Play Music and Media Storage, nothing helped.
It happens on wifi and mobile connection too, and with the songs that i made to offline.
I haven't found a soultion on the forum.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks!
Sorry for my English.

That might be a result of Google releasing Google Music in your country. Have you registered your account through a proxy before?
If so, you probably have playlists with tracks that is not available in your region that your account now is associated with. Try search for the songs again and see if you can play it from there.

Thanks for the tip. Play Music All Access released a half year ago, and before I didn't used a proxy to use the service. On 4.2.2 it worked well. Only on KitKat is this problem. I'll try to fix the update errors from the PC Suite, and a hard reset. I'll reply about it's success.

I had the same problem on 4.2, in my case clearing data uninstalling installing helped though... or it got fixed few days later... or I found a solution which I forgot.
I do realize that this won't help you much, just wanted to point out that it had nothing to do with the android version.
Also that the proxy stuff someone said is needed only to set it up... after that there is no need for any proxies. So I would say has nothing to do with it.
Also I am in a country that got play music just now and I had it since all access began... so again I think even that would not be a case.
I am a bit angry because in my country the all access is cheaper as in the US and I am not sure I can switch to the action price and if I will have the same songs as in US market...

I have this problem and I haven't found a solution. It's really annoying. It seems completely random. Sometimes every song I play will give me the error.

Thanks for the information, i think it's not about the Android version too. I think LG made some changes, because on my Nexus 7 on stock 4.4.2 it works fine. I found some forums about this problem, but on the Optimus G model, and without a solution. So I think the problem is on LG's side. I wrote a mail to them about the problems after the update, and they replied they are working on to fix them. I hope they will fix this too.

Running out of things to try
I have had the exact same issue since updating to 4.4.2 on my LG G2. I had to reset the Google framework app to finally get the update after weeks of trying. So initially thought the error was due to that. So I factory reset my device & still get the errors.
I have tried clearing cache, data, uninstalling all updates to play music. Still the same problems.
Updated the play app & still no resolution.
When I'm on mobile data I get the error on every song I play. On Wi-Fi I can go 5 to 10 songs before the same error pops up.
I have contacted T-Mobile & they confirmed that a lot of users have reported this after the 4.4.2 update me not just with the G2 but also with the galaxy S4 & note 3 after updating to 4.4.2 as well. I told them all the trouble shooting I've done & they told me to contact Google to find a solution.
Google play music support was unaware of this issue & after running me through the same steps told me to contact LG
LG once again was unaware of the issue & tired running me thorough the same steps again. Their conclusion was that my phone/the app was having trouble communicating with the Google servers. & directed me back to Google or T-Mobile.
So it's really frustrating since 4.4.2 has fixed a lot of my other issues (GPS, Bluetooth meta data, etc) but has given me a different & so far solution-less problem. :banghead:

My wife's G2 is doing this as well.
I did dig up a thread from Android Central from last year where some people suspected some process needed for their Chromecast was somehow interfering.
Just curious, how many of you with this issue also have a Chromecast?

I have a couple of Chromecasts. Before the 4.4.2 update my G2 would not cast a full song or two onto the Chromecast. But after the update it's the other way around. It will cast fine with no errors but won't play a full song on my phone.
Did you know what about the Chromecast was causing this issue? Was it the Chromecast app?
---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------
I tested out a couple of scenarios for at least playing songs that were cached on the device.
Had the same problems with data turned on & off. & even in airplane mode.
The only time it played without the playback error was when I took the SIM card out. It's a bit strange I know, but I'm going to see if maybe getting a different SIM card form T-Mobile does anything to this issue.

No, I had just find a whole bunch of other threads for different phones from last year where people started having issues with google music who used Chromecast. It occurred to me that we have a Chromecast, and my wife uses it. I haven't used once, we both have T-mobile, but I have a Nexus 5. So I was just wondering if everyone else with a G2 and the same problem also had a Chromecast.
Maybe there's some service the Chromecast uses that foobars something Music uses. Someone else had mentioned that when Music errors like this, they restart their phone and if works properly. Maybe that Chromecast service doesn't start on boot, and so it doesn't cause an issue until after it is used.
*shrugs* just a theory.

I don't have a Chromecast. I wrote to Google, and replied they consulted my case to a higher tier. I hope they can fix it in the Play Music app. I'm waiting for newer informations.

I also have the same problem andere its gettin worse everyvday. I tried it with an older version of play music but with no luck.
I hope they come with a fix soon because its getting really frustrating.

Same problem here. On my old SGS2 all was fine. With my new LG G2 I have this issue too. Sometimes all fine, then it stucks every minute/second.
Android 4.4.2

really annoying bug
Same error here on T mobile LG G2 running KitKat. Sometimes Google Music just works but then it wont play a thing for a while. Especially frustrates me when I am driving or when at the gym.

im having the same issue.. if i am on mobile data or wifi. if i turn them off i will get the err less, like 2 or 2 songs. this is my primary source of music!! please help

Finally managed to get a Logcat with all the details of the crash. Lots of information in this... The process "Nexstreaming" goes haywire when the crashes happen. Lots of A2DP references as well. Hopefully somebody can make heads or tails of all of this.
I had one song playing on loop during this Logcat. This particular song crashes more often than any other in Google Play (for me anyway) . I'm wondering if the audio subsystem is getting flooded with too much bandwidth for the BT codec to parse?

Such an annoying issue.
Even with pinned music it won't always play

Funny thing I'm noticing is that - especially with pinned music - if a song crashes the player, it's highly likely that it'll crash the player again at the same point in the song. I have several songs that I can predict the exact places where the song will quit. It's not consistent from play to play though.

Hey so I decided to come here and take a look, what exactly is the problem you guys are having with Google play music app, is it only while streaming with Bluetooth or on both WiFi and Bluetooth, are songs bought from the play store or from you computer? Any details will be appreciated

[Q] YouTube HD playback constantly buffering

I didn't want to make a thread for this specific issue but after searching I can't seem to find a definitive answer!
Does anyone else suffer from constant buffering with HD playback on the YouTube app and is this something that can be fixed??
Firstly I have a 60Mb/3Mb connection with a good strong wireless signal. We have numerous wireless devices around the house and none of them seem to be affected by this problem. I can have my Nexus 7 within 1 metre of my router and i'm lucky if I can get through 10 seconds of HD playback without it buffering, my laptop however will happily stream 1080p whilst i'm sitting in the garden!?
The Transformers movie on the play store has no problems at all, it plays smoothly no matter where I am in the house. It can even handle me skipping through sections and resumes playback almost instantly. I'm convinced the problem is with YouTube but don't really know how/if i can fix it. I have tried clearing the cache, reverting to a previous version and completely removing it and reinstalling yet the problems persist. SD playback is vastly better but it still has it's problems from time to time.
My device is completely stock running 4.1.2 (upgraded earlier today OTA). Apart from this issue I love the Nexus and don't really have any desires to root at present. I'm 31 with 2 children and my own business so I don't have the time to put into learning it all and keeping up with everything, 10 years ago things would have been very different!
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this was one of the main reasons I bought the tablet.
I have the same problem. It's very embarrassing when you try to show off the tablet to friends :-\

It's somewhat comforting knowing i'm not suffering with this alone. . . This can't be right though surely!?
Whilst trying to fix the issue last night I did manage to stream a full HD 10 min video with no buffering, something that hasn't happened for a while. Strangely it worked right after using the speedtest.net app to test my connection. I don't even know if it's possible for one app to affect the other but the same video had buffering issues minutes before I ran the test. It's probably just a well timed coincidence but I thought it was worth mentioning.
I guess now we have to hope that Google get their act together and fix the site/app. They certainly receive enough in ad revenue, which always play flawlessly

I'm on stock 4.1.2 after a full reinstall, I can't recreate the issue. Out of curiosity can you go to settings > apps > all > youtube and clear the cache, does it help at all?

It's no different after clearing the cache unfortunately, that's one of the first things I tried. I'm guessing the next step is a full reinstall too. I'll have to look into backup options without root, which i'm guessing is pretty limited?
First world problems eh? :laugh:
Same Problem. I noticed the only way to get the vids to move is to toggle between hd and regarding when it freezes up. Very annoying to say the least. I just use the browser now. No probs.

I thought that I have problem with my router. Guess not. BTW I found "solution" which works for me. As soon as video starts buffering, turn off the screen, then on, unlock and press play on video and enjoy your video without buffering.

no solution, but the same problem. Bugs the hell out of me. My workaround has been to switch to SD which of course is a bit crap. When I get within reach of a wifi connection I'll try clearing cache/uninstalling updates etc. Not keen on rooting and installing new Rom/kernel as a solution to be honest.

Running 4.2 now makes no difference I'm afraid. Cleared cache and data, left updates. Still buffers uncontrollably. That said, the tip earlier tint he thread of turning off the screen, turning it back on and unlocking, then playing the video worked very well. It played HD video for 3 minutes straight with no buffering. Then a small/short buffer (acceptable) and now buffering again for the remained of the video @ 7 minutes. does this lend any information to lead to a root cause? Willing to work for a solution .
I wanted to update my situation seeing as I started this thread.
I recently moved home and changed internet provider and all of my issues with YouTube have gone away. I have gone from a 60Mb down / 3Mb up fibre optic service with Virgin Media (where I had nothing but issues). Now on a 4Mb down / .3Mb up ADSL service with Sky.
HD YouTube videos play flawlessly from everywhere I want to use my Nexus! It's not just YouTube though as pretty much everything that works from the internet is running a lot faster on my device now. I wish I could offer more of a solution but I can only say that I don't think it's a problem with the Nexus 7/YouTube app.
Yep. I found solution in some other thread. You gotta change modem or update firmware on it. I called my ISP requesting modem firmware update, they came and put new modem instead. Even better. Wish I knew about this solution before I bought new router. Oh well...at least now I have dual band so its not total waste of money.
same
So was the problem your modem, router or actual ISP? While my VDSL2 modem is capable of being a router, I have it setup in pass-through (bridge) mode to my DLINK DIR-655 router which handles everything. What exactly in the firmware is causing the slow-down just for youtube on the N7 (and not other computers)?

If it makes you feel any better, this is a cross platform, cross ROM issue. I am having the same problem with a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, and I have seen the same problem reported on S3s, S4s, Droid Bionics, etc.
I keep looking to see if Google is providing an update, but no apparent response despite the growing chorus of complaints and reports.
I had this issue when I flashed the latest Paranoid Android alpha update and their new gapps.
I flashed previous gapps and updated everything and I'm good now.

I had this problem out of nowhere yesterday morning. I removed extensions, etc. Nothing had changed since it had worked the day before, other than their new "listen" rollout, or that pandora competitor.
It would immediately crash with an "aw, snap" every time, within a millisecond.
So I went here: support.google.com/googleplay/?rd=1#contact=1
and filled that out. Got the auto response email with some pat, boilerplate problem solving stuff.
But I didn't do ONE THING, and it fixed itself.
I have a hunch that they get receipt of that, and check your account and fix it behind the scenes. That's the only thing I can think of, because I didn't do a thing, and it stopped working.... and started working again after I didn't do a thing (other than try to remove extensions).....
that support troubleshooter may have done the trick. I am back up and running.
I had the same problem when upgrading to Play Music 5.0.something; what I did to overcome the FC's:
1. Clean cache Download Manager
2. Clean cache Play Music
3. Clean cache Media Storage
4. Reboot
I had the same problem and uninstalled updates to roll back to the prior version. Then on Friday, I saw the update pending and decided to try again. Somehow, it did indeed fix itself. However, what I notice now is that it likes to un in the background on its own from time to time -- enough that it seems to be interfering with battery life . . . .
Works fine for me, never had an issue. I don't use it though as I don't listen to music on my phone

It looks like Netflix has been deactivated on this device

Using "Netflix for Android TV 2.2 build 636" from the Sony TV APKs on my nexus player
Keep getting the error
"It looks like Netflix has been deactivated on this device"
have to re-login very frequently
Any ideas on how to solve this?
2.2.1 build 643 is on the Play Store, I've only had one forced reactivation with it so far.
But yeah Netflix for Android TV is quite buggy - a lazy port by the looks of it.
I got this Bs twice tonight.. like seriously? wtf is going on

Just got off the phone with netflix
had this happening, literally after every episode tonight. after troubleshooting everything at my house, thoroughly, I spent about an hour going through things with netflix support. apparently this is a known issue and for now there was no resolution. he said give it some time and check back if not resolved after having been escalated to tier 3 support.
Yeah it was quite bad, I noticed it seemed to be triggered consistently just after autoplaying a new episode - always within the first 30 seconds - but not after manually picking the next ep.
yup same here. honestly, I bought my dad a fire TV and myself a nexus and this nexus is garbage compared to the fire TV.. especially since I'm a prime member. I might just buy a fire TV and sell this pos.

I have a Nexus Player and started getting this about 48 hours ago. It's annoying. Thanks for the workaround... I'll have to try that! I'm sick and tired of having to login after ever darn episode!!!
I do have the same problem, but i use dns4me.
on the help center (for xbox), it says that you should put dns settings on automatic.
Same issue here. Could it be related to IPv6 DNS? I have IPv6 6to4 turned on in my router and the IPv6 DNS is visible in the settings but no IPv6 adress is assigned for the device in the settings. Also in contact with the Netflix support here in Sweden, they called to US and they will investigate an call back in a few days. What ROM do you others guys use? Stock? I installed CM to be able to mount USB for Kodi.
This just started happening to me last night as well and now I have to keep logging in after every show. Time to hit them up....
I'm in the same boat guys.
I guess the bright side is I finally got around to installing cyanogenmod which of course didn't fix the issue.
I'm having this issues since a week or two. It must be a problem on the apps side only. More and more Playstore reviews and forum posts are coming up about this.
In a netflix support chat, they said that they are already working on a fix for this ... I hope so, because that's really lame.
Just came by to say the same thing is happening to me. Spent an hour on the phone with Netflix tech support, tried everything on my end, still having the same problem. Hope enough people call tech support so they know this is an issue.
i dont watch netflix often on the player, but i have this build and just fired it up and ran a few random videos. i had no errors or forced reactivations. it recognized me from the last time i ran it so it went right to the last played video i just played on my htpc...

Same thing, asus nexus player
Got the exact same thing with my Asus Nexus Player.. 2.2.1 Build 643 of netflix app..
Need to reactivate every time it autoplays i to the next episode.. Manual select seems to br the workaround atm, tho quite annoying
I also have this problem, latest netflix on nexus plater stock rom
Me too. Netflix support just ask to sign out of app, power down the nexus player for a minute, power it back up, sign back in. Seemed to fix it, but then it was doing it again as soon as I actually watched an episode rather than just fast forwarding to the last 30 seconds.
Tried a clearing of the app data, didn't help. Tried a factory reset, that didn't help either.
longer explanation...
ok besides the fact the original episodes of mission impossible and knight rider are no longer on the site (expired licenses), i played one full episode of star trek, the original series (these shows are great background flicks whilst one is doing other things) and i was not forced out or required to sign off/on.
a bit of an aside, i have an ipad i have on my elliptical that i view whilst exercising, and when i would switch from that to the htpc i would sometimes have to re-log back in on the htpc. the error would say something to the effect of i cant be logged onto two different places at the same time, even though both devices (the htpc and ipad) are on the same network and subnet. i just figured the apple app has a different way of signing in. this error just started happening a couple weeks ago (i was using the ipad for months prior), so now i just turn on the television that the htpc is on and just view that whilst working on the machine and not had to re-log into the htpc (which is just the website netflix.com).

Voice search is slow or doesnt work

I am not sure if this is a NP issue, Android TV issue or a Plex issue but when i use the voice search in the plex app it takes a long time to find anything. It was working for a while then just stopped.
Now I have my plex library on a NAS drive so i assume it will take a little longer ot index a search but not as long as it takes. Has anyone experienced this? The voice search was one of the reasons I switched from AppleTV to NP.
Me too, it's very inconsistent. Search query is recognised, but returns no results. Sometimes after 3 tries I get a response, but at least half the time I give up and type the search. This always works without problems.
I have the same thing across apps voice search doesn't stop listening till it times out and fails. Factory reset and then stop auto updates in play store seems to have fixed it for me. Seems to have been a recent search app update.
Works much, much better on NVIDIA Shield that I have changed to. I think it's the hardware that sucks.

Video stops but audio still plays...s4

I have an s4 running a Google edition custom rom. It's 5.0.1 and has been just fine since I installed the from for maybe almost 2 months now. Recently it has developed a video problem where the video stops about a minute in but the audio still plays. This happens on the local player and streaming apps too. I have searched the web for answers and it seems many ppl have this issue and is not limited to s4 models. The only way to resolve it is a full wipe, but after a few days the problem comes back. Has anyone heard of this and what I can possibly do to stop it. I have tried clearing caches in all settings and gradually uninstalling recent apps but just can't get to the bottom of it. It's sooooooo annoying
