[Q] Cast Button gone in some apps? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just today I went to cast something on Netflix and noticed the cast icon wasnt there (I have 2 chromecasts). So I tried rebooting the chromecast but it still wasnt there. I grabbed my wifes phone and she didnt have it either. So I download the official Chromecast app and it cant find any devices. However some apps can still see it... for example Play Movies can see them and Allcast. But Youtube, Netflix and Play Music all do not show a cast button.
I then checked from my laptop and it works normally.
Anyone else experiencing this? I'm guessing its maybe an update or something?

Oddly enough I was chatting with a friend and he had the same issue.... I rebooted my Wifi access point and now I can cast using everything again... very odd.
The only thing we both did recently was install Videostream

[Q] Youtube changed in update?

Did anyone else have you Tue change with the update? The widget no longer flips for me and hope home page is like on the phones now not the curve. Anyone else this happen if not can you get me the apk for the original. This seemed to start after I rooted.
So I noticed in the market that you tube wasn't installed. Or so it told apparently that is the update that did it. I removed the market version and my xoom said reverting to factory and all is well now.
You tube app (curve) is still working for me. Widget was also working but as you flicked through they started to disappear until you have nothing. Now the widget is just a blank area showing nothing
My widgets works fine after the update.
Mine still working as usual.
My Xoom has never been rooted, side loaded or anything. I,m waiting until March 18 before i start playing with the good stuff

Google Play Store v6.0.2-leanback : "Server Error" - Retry

To start off, this is happening on my rooted & bootloader unlocked Lollipop v5.1.1 Nexus Player, btw...
But anyway, just all of a sudden today, I started having issues with the Play Store sorta freezing up and displaying/getting stuck on an all black screen(the entire tv screen would go solid black) after choosing on the "Update" button within a couple of different app listings. It wouldn't go past that black screen unless I would back out of the Play Store all the way back to the home screen, and from there I could re-open up the Play Store app again. After finally trying and trying over and over again on several different apps, a couple of them DID manage to properly update via the normal Play Store updating mechanism. After a couple of successful updates, I opened the Play Store back up again and NOW it won't even open up at all...nothing at all! As soon as I would try to open it up, there would just be a little swirly thing on a black background and it would then display "Server Error - Retry." It seems to be stuck on this crazy error now and the Play Store won't even open up at all. I eventually got fed up and just cleared the Play Store app cache and data from the main Android->Settings->Apps section, but that didn't clear up any of my issues with the Play Store, so I just rebooted and then reinstalled the app. Reinstalling the Play Store from the apk downloaded from apkmirror did nothing at all to clear up my issues either. Sooooo...I'm stuck wondering what to do next? What could the problem be, and is anyone else experiencing this? It's not my network because I've tried running the play store from a wifi connection AND my ethernet connection, both with the same negative results. And this may not be related, but then again, it may, but the Play Store opens up just fine on my Note 3 and other devices I've got here at the house. Any help would be appreciated!
I'm having the same problem, NP updated to 6.0.1 and latest play store.
Did a factory reset and play store is just showing games , and it won't even show any apps in "my apps"

Major issues with the Shield after Marshmallow Update

I Got the update through a couple of days ago and I've had nothing but trouble since, lots of force quitting and locking up, the console has reset itself a few times as well.
I use the Shield with a 64gb Micro SD and a 500gb external Hard drive, I set the SD Card to act as internal storage, the setup worked fine but the Shield started to lock up so I took that out which fixed the issue. I did a factory reset on the console at this point as well.
Ive been able to setup the Sheild using the Hard Drive or SD Card as internal storage, that seems ok but at the minute the Google Play store wont stop Crashing. First thing I did after the restore was make sure the bundled apps were up to date, this I can do just fine but if I try to go into any app to download it to the console, I just get the 'Unfortunately Google play has stopped' error and nothing happens.
Ive tried resetting the console, clearing the cache on the store, trying the store before I update any bundled apps.. nothing works. The apps installed on there are fine but I cant add anything new.
Is anybody else having similar issues?

I am having an issue when it wakes after sleeping, I get a message saying Nvidia HDMI Services has stopped working. If you click OK, it just shows the message over and over. The only way to get out of it, is to pull the power cord and reboot. Didn't have the issue until I upgraded to 6.0

I guess we need wait when official mm build shows up on Nvidia home page and then just clean install through fastboot. P.s. ...I have kind of weird lags with remote control, when I start using/presing buttons constantly - volume level goes up and down randomly, and also found even random woke ups from sleep.

I have three nVidia Shield 16GB versions and the one attached to a receiver gives me the "Unfortunately, NVIDIA HDMI Services has stopped." message every time I wake it from sleep (which you can click OK, but it immediately respawns). As was stated, the only option is to pull the plug. The other two don't have this issue and I'm wondering if it has something to do with being attached to a receiver. I've had zero issues until the 6.0 update.

I have a 16GB Nvidia Shield TV plugged directly into my Sony 4K television. Since the 3.0 firmware/Marshmallow update, I am getting the same "Nvidia HDMI Services have stopped" error as described above. And yes, pulling the plug is the only solution.
Yup. Mine is plugged into a Sony receiver. The irony is that this build was supposed to include a bug fix that people with Denon receivers were having. Well if they fixed that issue they apparently broke the rest of us! Face Palm
I have 2 shields, the one connected to a 4k TV has the HDMI service problem and the one on a 1080p TV don't. I switched both and problems persisted on the 4k TV.
I don't pull the plug to reboot. I just hold back to make the power menu open. I press OK and spam the down button to get on the reboot option and the just spam the OK button for the reboot.
Very annoyed by this.
Contacted Nvidia support about this "HDMI services have stopped" issue: useless. They just provided a generic power cycle/ reboot troubleshooting procedure...which didn't work anyway.

I have the HDMI issue upon waking from sleep, going through a Yamaha surround amplifier. Never had the issue before update. I also cannot do anything with the play store, selecting anything in the store brings up the unfortunately plat store has stopped. Called Nvidia and spoke to tech there, no help thus far, we have a thread in the nvidia forums about the play store. Called google, and they refused to even speak to me because they say it's a manufacturer's problem. Please report to our forum at the nvidia site, there are many of us there and we have tried almost everything to no avail.
Here's the link to the Nvidia forum. https://forums.geforce.com/default/...le-play-store-not-working-with-new-update-/9/
So this Nvidia Shield TV v3.0 firmware/6.0 Android update when about as bad as possible short of bricking everyone's box.
So far I'm seeing in the forums from other owners:
New "Nvidia HDMI Services Have Stopped" error message that can only be addressed by power-cycling
Shield not powering on from Sleep
Google Play Store broken/crashing
Shield controller mis-behaving
Netflix app dropping frames during playback.
Various issues with storage
And I'm sure many others I'm not aware of.
This has been compounded by the Kodi v16 update that just came out and broke 4K playback which is now being resized to HD resolutions.
I have not had any problems with my shield and this update. But must admit that I have not used it that much since the update.
Btw. As far as I can read on the Nvidia shield forum, choosing an SDcard as internal storage, will overwrite use of the internal storage for apps and games.
All the same problems on mine as well. Wish I didn't update!
16g model. I have not had any power cycling or app crashing or services stopped issues. But once again, they've clearly changed how bluetooth works, because sixaxis is currently non functional, which I loathe. Ever since the console came out, the DS4 controller has worked better than Nvidia's own controller, regardless of previous bluetooth issues. Makes me wonder if Nvidia targeted it for convenience.
I have an Android TV Shield (v3.0) which is connected via an amp Denon April-x4100w (hdmi back cover). The first day everything was fine, the second day more image. I tried restarting the shield, reset the amp, turn off the upscaling of the amp, change the video frequency .... do you have a solution???

So to say, I am glad not being the only one having that big issue with the NSATV.
Since the update to FW 3.0 (Android 6.0), I often have the problem that I get the pop-up "NVIDIA HDMI Service stopped" (as my NSATV is set to German language it is "NVIDIA HDMI Service wurde beendet").
Even if I accept by clicking "OK", nothing changes. The pop-up doesn´t disappear and I can´t do anything else.
I need to plug-off from power to restart it completely.
Any idea or workaround known?
May be it can be solved by using a different power-off or sleep-mode as before?
Appreciate any idea and help as it is not really amusing to plug-off the NSATV every time..

I'm having this same exact issue, and have been for a couple weeks (since the update). I've even searched to see if there is some way to go back to the previous version. I don't have a nandroid backup or anything (wish I had thougth ahead), but does anyone know if there's a way to rollback to the Lollipop stock release (including any firmware/boot/etc)?
It will only crash HDMI if unit was sleeping. If you power off instead, it will not happen. Only caveat is that you can not wake the device with controller or remote and have to manually touch the shield unit and wait for the android to load. Not ideal but manageable.
My Shield TV is not usable anymore. Right after a reboot the desktop/home screen is freezing. The spinning circle while loading recommendations stops spinning and the Shield TV does not react to any input. Even the clock is not counting anymore. After about 5 minutes the Shield TV reboots itself (watchdog reset?). And again keeps freezing as soon as the home screen appears. This sucks.
I take it that the general consensus is not to upgrade to FW 3.0 whatsoever? I just received my Shield today, and I'm a little hesitant to even power it up

Netflix app won't start, stuck spinning indefinitely

Yesterday Netflix made me reset my password due to some "suspicious activity" they detected. Today, I opened the Netflix app on my Nexus Player, and it said it was unable to connect and gave me some obscure error code. I figured it was probably just related to the password change, so I cleared the app data, thinking i would be able to simply log back in with the new password. Now, whenever I start Netflix, it just sits there with the Netflix logo and spinner going and going...
I have tried clearing data, uninstalling, and rebooting the device in-between all of these attempts. No matter what, it never gets past the spinning logo screen. I have left it up over 30 minutes. Curiosity, when I check the app details, it shows over 100M data used by Netflix, indicating that it is apparently downloading *something* while it's sitting there.
I can use Netflix from my phone and tablet just fine, and even cast the screen to my Nexus player (though native Netflix casting never appears as an option).
Has anyone ever seen an issue like this? I've been using Netflix on my NP without issue for well over a year. This it's truly bizarre.

Casting Not Working in Apps on Nexus 6P

Curious if anyone has had this issue on their Nexus 6P. I myself haven't, but my manager is. Casting from the phone only works in YouTube and the cast icon on the phone itself. If he goes into Google Play Movies, Netflix, Playstation Vue, etc., the cast icon doesn't show up. We tried the Chromecast here at work and the same thing happens here for him. We've tried it on a 1st and 2nd gen Chromecast and still nothing. I wiped the cache on his device and after the reboot the icons came up in the apps, but he stated that when he went home they were gone again. Still YouTube and the cast icon on the phone itself stay and work.
He has reboot his Chromecasts at home and factory reset them numerous times. He has uninstalled Google Cast and then reinstalled the app. This is happening on any Chromecast whether at home or at work.
Any ideas and if you've had this issue how did you fix it?
He hasn't factory reset the phone as he sees that as a last resort type of option.
