[Q] No video or sound with Netflix on Lenovo A1000

Hi,
My first post, here we go.
So the problem is that there is no video or sound in Netflix 2.4.1 with Lenovo A1000-F device.
Netflix application starts correctly and even player screen shows buffering, but after that no video or sound.
I'm using 150M wifi, and other devices in same network are streaming Netflix ok.
Tried already with Netflix 1.8.0 and 1.8.1 versions, but no luck.
Also reported to Netflix about problem, but I think people here are wiser
Any advice to proceed?
I'ts alive it's alive. Just updated tablet wit A1000F_A412_01_23_130822_ROW update and now Netflix and Skype are working.

Choppy video when casting screen

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Either your internet suddenly got bad, or your chrome cast software (on your phone) may be outdated, as there was recently an update.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.

Nexus Player- Cannot Watch Netfix Or Cast To My Player

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.

Chromecast Audio, Stuttering and Choppy Playback

Hey everyone, just recently purchased the new Chromecast Audio and am finding it stutters very badly on my MXP.
My setup is as follows,
Stock Canadian retail ROM
TWRP installed
Rooted and some other tweaks
Squid kernel r15 (tried r14 as well)
Apple Airport Extreme wifi router on both 5ghz and 2.4.
Router, Chromecast and Phone are all in the same room.
Now, I have tried a few things. I have a Moto G 2014 and it works great on that device. I have CM13 installed on it, so it got me thinking. I tested CM13 on the MXP and it works.
I would prefer to stick with my current setup as I have everything working exactly as I like it. So I'm pretty certain it's something within the Stock ROM. If you have any ideas I'd definitely be up to hearing them. I'd love to have this thing working, it's a cool little device.
Edit: forgot to mention I am playing music locally on my phone, through Black player. I have tried different media players too, none work properly. I don't stream music using any sources, just my own Ogg Vorbis files (tried mp3 too)

What happens when you try it on a completely stock rom?

I haven't tried flashing back to full stock, but I have used the TWRP stock backup images posted here and it does the same thing.
Perhaps this weekend I will try flashing back to full stock (recovery and the like).

[SOLVED] Can't Cast to my Nexus Player

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
