Hi,
When i connect my vega (running vegacomb) to my hd tv, it only fills 3/4 of the screen. I have tried different settings on my tv but no joy.
However if i play an mp4 from my vega it then fills the whole tv screen... but not if i play a AVI?
Any one help?
Also just tried watching youtube and that fullscreens on the tv but stays normal on the vega??
Very strange...
No one else had this problem or any ideas how to fix?
Now i have been shown the bug table i can see it is a known bug.

Not ipgraded yet, once I do will let you know!
got my Nexus Player tonight and, while there are definitely things that need improvement, overall it's pretty good.. I was watching netflix with no issue for about 3 hours, then went to get some dinner.. Came back and it was having issues connecting.. error NW-4-8. signed out and back in and it was able to connect, but now, any time that I start to stream something on netflix, it crashes the entire unit.. my tv starts flashing "No Signal" and i have to unplug/replug it.. This happening to anyone else? I haven't tried reseting it to defaults yet, and will try that if it's not fixed tomorrow, but wanted to see if anyone else was having the same issues..
Haven't seen that myself but try clearing cache/data for netflix before resetting the whole box.
Sent from my Nexus 5
ill give that a try.. from the apps menu, right? i dont think i've seen any way to do that from within netflix.

Settings (bottom left icon, looks like a gear)-> Apps, find netflix, clear data.
You'll need to resign in, ect. I had to do this the other night on one of my ADT-1's because I had a similar error, and it wouldn't connect to netflix.
ok, so after doing this, it worked for awhile.. now i can't play anything on netflix at all.. just gives a blank screen when i select something to watch.. the netflix app is crap on the player, unfortunatly.. hulu/plex/ted... all others are working with no issues, but netflix is extremely inconsistant.. such a disappointment for an app that should have been ready at launch.

Same! Netflix works great here.
Both Plex and Netflix have plenty of bugs on Android TV. I'm speaking from my experience on the ADT-1. Neither company has been actively fixing bugs. .. Plex has their forums, but the devs just ignore you.. and update **** no one cares about, like sync, or previews.

I dont mind a bug or two here and there, plex at least works, just like hulu and all the other basic apps from large streaming companies.. But netflix just freaking crashes the unit.. Its fully unusable with no rhyme or reason why. I've uninstalled, signed in and out, tried both 5ghz and normal networks, reset and started over even and its just not working.. And without root, i cant even install logcat to track down the issue in a more logical manner. Whata even more frustrating is that i seem to be alone wih the issue.. The only thing ive noticed is that when netflix tries to load a video, it'll count 1-6%, jump to 63%, then to 99%, then goes to a black screen. Then my screen flashes no signal. If i hit the home button a few times, itll come back to the home screen, but nothing changes... Anyone elae with ideas, pkease feel free to chime in. Im fairly comfortable with adb abd faatboot if that helps..

I have this problem as well, trying to watch anything on Netflix turns the video signal off to the TV, pressing back takes me back and turns the display back on. I'm using an older viewsonic TV so I tried moving the player to a newer Samsung tv and it works fine. So I'm just going to go ahead and point my finger at those DRM demons and blame them based solely on conjecture and sit and wait hoping for a patch or fix. (Netflix plays on the viewsonic fine with Roku and Chromecast, just not the nexus player.)
I'm having this same issue. Is there any resolution yet? The TV will flicker about an HDMI-CEC failure when this occurs, so I'm curious if there's a connection there.
Nope -- no connection. I disabled HDMI-CEC on the television, and Netflix still pretends to load the video and then displays a black screen. Tried clearing the Netflix cache and data, but this does nothing to solve the problem. Netflix worked fine for two days, and now this.
Had the same thing happen with the movie play store movie I rented. . Video would go black and only hear the audio. . I can unplug the hdmi from the tv and plug it back in and it will work for awhile. .. called Google they tried to blame it on the movie app.. and of course while on the phone it works fine. . Call google everyone. .
so, got root tonight and was able to grab a logcat.. looks like it's the HDCP authentication thats breaking, like we all thought.. here's the link to the log info, in case anyone smarter than me wants to take a look and maybe find something helpful (google docs link)::

FWIW, I went ahead and swapped out HDMI cables and the new one, so far, is working great with Netflix & Nexus Player.

Yeah -- it doesn't make any sense to me either. I didn't have issues with any of the other apps when I was having the problem with Netflix going black. Fortunately, I haven't had the Netflix problem since changing the HDMI cable several days ago <knock wood>.
Per my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/general/netflix-buffering-issues-t2961438, reinstalling NetFlix addressed NetFlix failing to work at all.
since I started this post, I wanted to post an update.. I never was able to get netflix to work in my setup.. I have my tv, hooked into a monoprice HDMI switch, then into the NP.. no other apps were having any issues at all except for the netflix app.. because netflix is 99% of what I would do on the player right now (seeing as there's very little development for it currently), I've returned my NP. I may grab another one at a later date, if development picks up, but right now, that's a device killing issue for me. hopefully nobody else runs into this issue.
I've noticed that for the past few days this bug keeps happening. I try to use the Nexus Player remote to navigate and sometimes it gets stuck on trying to perform an action I didn't want to do (selecting a video repeatedly/using the voice search function). The light on top of the mic button also keeps flashing when this happens.
The only way to fix this problem is to take out the batteries on the remote. This sometimes happen outside the app but it is a lot more frequent inside the app. I'm currently running the latest Isengard 15 Beta available from the Play Store.
Does anybody else have this problem? Is this a Kodi-related bug or is it a software problem that Google can patch? I would also like to know how to stop this from happening.
I think Ive experienced this and outside Kodi. I have a feeling its Nexus Player problem. Others?
Use the app yatze for controlling kodi it's a great app and free. I also use the nexus player remote app my kids have the NP remote and I haven't seen it for months but the apps work great on both my wife and my phone hope that helps
Hi all,
after searching for weeks after getting my Shield TV I have been trying to figure out a problem that is driving me insane. I have a Vizio M65-C1 with the Shield plugged into HDMI 5 (fully compliant).
My problem is that at entirely random times ( about once every hour or two) the Shield will "loose sync" with the TV for a split second, and the screen goes black before coming back and continuing on perfectly fine like nothing happened at all. This happens in any app and the surprising thing is that Netflix doesn't pause when this happens ( which I thought it did when there is a signal issue due to copy protection? correct me if I am wrong please... )
My question is, has anybody else ever heard or seen this with the Shield TV? I had my Xbox One on the same port for a few months before the Shield and it never had a problem, albeit it only ran at 1080p. My main thing I am trying to figure out is whether this is a TV issue or a Shield issue.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
I have the same issue, but with the M55-C2 and the Nvidia Shield. I'm on firmware 1.3.15UHD. The Nvidia Shield does not drop out when connected to my two other TVs, which are not 4k.
Others are having this issue as well.

FUUUUUUUUU thank you SO much for responding. At least I know where the problem lies now. I have literally been scouring for weeks. I have no idea how I missed that thread.
Well the thing that sucks is that this is seemingly out of my control to fix then :/
EDIT: Apparently you copied the link to this thread Has anybody been able to workaround this for now do you know? It's not super annoying, but hardly ideal either.
EDIT 2: https://forums.geforce.com/default/...-hdmi-disconnect-reconnect-problem/?offset=25
Apparently this is definitely a problem with the firmware. Searching handshake with that firmware version got me here.
Nvidia told me to change the refresh rate to 59.9hz as a temporary solution. So far so good
Ditto for me... Same model TV.. Same issue.. Will try setting to 59.9hz to see if problem persists. It's annoying when it happens in the middle of a game ..
Update: Changed the setting last night and the issue seems to be gone.. Thanks for the info !

I have the 2017 Shield TV Pro on 6.1 rooted. When the box works it works well, but this is the second time it has developed random buffering issues on Netflix Prime Video and sideloaded streaming apps. Along with the buffering issues apps are randomly stopping with a message like Leanback Launcher has stopped or Archos Player has stopped etc. It does it with native apps and sideloaded apps. It did this a few times before and I updated to 6.0 and it seemed to stop. Now its back doing the same thing. I haven't changed anything or installed new apps. I don't use Plex so I have the server and client disabled. I don't have ES File Explorer installed because I heard it causes problems on Shield. I think the buffering issues happen as a result of what ever is causing apps to crash but I have no idea whats causing either one. What drives me crazy is it just randomly happens. It will be working fine then will just begin to crash apps or buffer when streaming movies. I know this is more of a rant than a question, but this is a $300 device that has problems my Fire TV 2 never has. I don't know where to begin to trouble shoot these problems, so if anyone has experienced anything similar please comment and maybe say what you did to fix it.

Yes I'm rooted with bootloader unlocked. I don't have TWRP installed as recovery though. I load TWRP through fastboot.
