I'm on stock 5.1 with root. I've been streaming video stored locally on my N4 to TV using VLC for a while. Lately when I do this, the video is choppy/stutters. I want to say this has started happening since the upgrade to 5.1 (from 5.0.1). Anyone else having this issue and/or know of a fix?
Either your internet suddenly got bad, or your chrome cast software (on your phone) may be outdated, as there was recently an update. Other than that, it may be a problem with the Chromecast itself, your ROM, or your T.V.

Hi all,
I have a vzw note 3 that is experiencing choppiness when streaming videos from websites. YouTube and Netflix streaming are working fine, but if I try to stream a video from a website, there is noticeable choppiness. I've tried using different video players but the issue still persists. Anyone else experiencing this?
Also, I'm out of the 2 week vzw restocking period. Can I still exchange the device for a new one since it's not functioning properly? I'm rooted but I can unroot.

There are several identical topics, so using search you would already have your answer.
Probably you run into the "poor Wifi-connection with certain routers" problem many have experienced. Check your Wifi-connection to see if it is stable. Either this is (has been?) solved by Samsung or you need to use a different router.
I have only experience that with an app called Show Box, it streams movies and tv shows. But fortunately (N9005XXUDMJ6) with the last firmware update i no longer have this issue.
Do you have any specific example that we can check for you?
Help troubleshooting Nexus Player
I got my player about a month ago. After about a week, I started to get the audio drop issue. I contacted support, and they just had me RMA it. So I got my new device, and no Audio drops. However I have other problems. I can not cast to the device, it doesn't show up in my list of devices in my browser, and when I try from my phone, it instantly disconnects. Also every time I try to watch a video on Netflix I about 1 second of video before an error says it can't play this title, try again later (AIP-703). I worked with Nexus support and got no where, so I went rogue. Downloaded 6.0 marshmallow and flashed my device, it loaded up, but The Netflix app wouldn't load, and I did not try casting. So I wiped the device and installed 5.1.1 again, and back to the same issue. Looking for any advice. to help clear this up as phone support is next to useless.
There was a very recent update that does some system improvements and tweaks. Reportedly fixes casting, not sure what else. Go into settings, about, and check for updates.
As far as Netflix, the most recent app works fine for me. I would check to see if yours is fully updated. If it's still problematic, remove it and try side loading the Sony version with ES File Explorer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60723403&postcount=24
I couldn't cast to my nexus player after i updated the "google cast receiver app". I unistalled the update and everything went back to normal. I'm on 5.1.1.
Casting netflix on nexus player sucks. It will cast only if the profile selected on the nexus player is the same as the one on your phone or tablet( and the same netflix account of course ).
I will update to 6.0 if anyone confirms that sixaxis is working since i'm using my ps3 controllers.
update ?
Did you ever get this fixed i recently RMA mines and am having the same issues. They told me they changed the motherboard when i asked.
Hi Guys,

Everythings works fine. Almost everything. I have a good internet connection but i can't watch Netflix or Youtube the way i want.

Youtube Problem:
Since the last update of the Youtube app i can't stream HD Videos without buffering every 10-15 seconds. As I said, my internet is quit good (10+ MB/s).
My Device:
Nexus 6P 64GB
CyanogenMod 13 Nightlies (newest)
FrancoKernel

Thank you for your help, Manuel
So I have been having this problem only occur on the Netflix application. Youtube is working just fine. I have tried casting Netflix using the Microsoft Wireless Adapter and it doesn't play like it should. I don't have any other casting devices to test it. I can see the subtitles and hear the sound but the image itself is not showing up on the screen at all.
I tried turning off all the themes from CMTE and reboot the phone so that it is back to stock and it still isn't working. So it may not be theme related.
My Device:
Nexus 6P 32GB
PureNexus CMTE version 3/15/2016 (Clean Install)
ElementalX Kernel (No device changes, all basic config)
Hey Everybody,
just purchased a Nexus Player and need some help.
Google Casting doesn't work as it should. It appers in every Cast-Enabled app, but it won't connect.
On my Chromecast everything works fine.
It worked on Lollipop but after the marshmallow update it broke.
I'm now on Android N beta and it still doesn't work.
The Google Cast Receiver is the newest version 1.18.55065
I can connect youtube (but only sometimes)
Google Play Music and almost every othet app won't connect.
Netflix connects, but there's always a problem when i try to start a stream.
I can’t even watch Netflix from the Android TV itself.
- factory resetted 3 times
- deleted appdata of google cast receiver
- uninstalled google cast receiver updates
- force closed google cast receiver
I don't know what to try.. my next step will be, to download the Pure Nexus Rom from xda..
Could it me a problem with my network? i would not think so, because my Chromecast works perfectly.
I would really appreciate it, if someone could help me
I don't own a Chromecast, just the Nexus Player since last year, and the cast thing has NEVER worked for me. When I bought it it updated to Android 6 right away so I couldn't test the cast with the previous version. I doesn't work. Then I went to the Android N preview, still no luck. Now I'm on PureNexus and still the same thing. The closest thing to casting I've ever got was using Kodi on the NP and Kore on my phone, and "Share" a youtube video from my phone to kore, then kodi. I wonder what the problem might be since I havent had any problem at all with my Apple devices on Airplay....
Just got a new one, and the problem is gone.
still thanks for your help
Newbie here, sorry if this is wrong place

This is Eurosport Player on a bbox android tv. Full fibre. So you can see the video playing but every (10th~ ish sort of) frame is a still (unchanging) from the same program. It's just Eurosport Player that it happens.
They actually told me earlier that Eurosport Player isn't compatible with my bbox. Can't really understand what that might be about. It's a 4K box running FHD.
BBox comes with my internet package, what they call in France Triple Play, a WiFi Roiuter Modem, a TV decoder (in this case Android) and Phone. Maybe I'll buy an independent AndoidTv box. Maybe I'll use an old phone and chromecast it. Any better ideas please?
