I can't watch anything on Hulu or Netflix on my Nexus player. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the apps and restarted the Nexus and it's up to date. Any idea on how to fix this?
I have the same problem. Please help. I tried to play on a sony DVD and Hulu worked just fine.

After the latest update, my Transformer freezes when playing local video files through the Google video player. Some files that played fine before (Mp4 files mainly) crash. Last error was "Activity Video Player (in application Gallery) is not responding.
Factory restore did not fix the issue. Stock, never rooted Transformer.
*Files play fine under Mvideoplayer if anyone else is experiencing this.

Did you get the 8.4.4.11 3.1 update last weekend? It added a new video player that plays my videos perfectly. At the top you have tabs for rentals (Market) or Personal Videos (local disc). Is it your old Google Videos app that is crashing?

Yes, it's the 8.4.4.11 update with the new video rentals option. When I go to my personal videos, my MP4's crash after a few seconds.
The same MP4's worked fine under the gallery app prior to this.
Just got a new N7 2013 32gb from Best Buy to replace my existing N7 16 gb and while the new one is definitely better in almost every way, the CNN and Xfinity apps do not seem to work at present. None of the videos on CNN or the Live TV feature work, they just say 'Video Not Available' when trying to play a video. Xfinity app also just shows a blank screen when trying to play a video. Both of these apps work fine on the older N7.
Thankfully Netflix seems to work just fine. I came across a few posts on android central about CNN not working with the new N7 too.
Any one else experienced the same or knows a fix for this? This seems to be an app level issue : may be they need to be updated for 4.3 / N7 but if there is workaround, that would be great. The Live TV feature on CNN is particularly useful and would be great to have it back.

Update: Just downloaded a 720p mkv file and I get no audio using BS Player Pro or ES Video Player on the new nexus but the same files plays back without issue on the older n7. This is disappointing to say the least, looks like some codecs are missing on this new device. To be clear my older N7 was rooted but that was it, everything else was stock. This may be an issue with 4.3 or a S4Pro vs Tegra 3 issue with the S4 missing some audio codec support.
Will have to hang on to the old one for a while it seems as the new one still has kinks that need to be resolved.
I just used the Xfinity app on my unlocked and rooted new Nexus 7. Worked fine for me.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Xfinity App works fine for me, both downloaded and streamed content. Watch ESPN also worked, but Watch ABC seems to be hit our miss.
CNN App does not work.
Sent from my Nexus 7
Ok, xfinity started working for me after clearing the data and restarting the app, doing the same for CNN did nothing as it still does not work.
This is not something that root and unlocking can fix so not really inclined to do that right now.
The audio on the 720p mkv file so far only works with vplayer , an obscure media player that I found on the play store. Hoping BSPlayer will update their player for Nexus 7 soon.
Ok, so it turned out the latest version of BS Player 1.9.152 removed DTS/AC3 support because of licensing issues with Dolby, so had to manually downgrade to .151 through an apk posted online ( I own the pro license). If anyone uses BSPlayer (best media player in my book) please keep that in mind. So right now the only remaining issue is the CNN app, hope they fix it sooner than the 6 months+ they took to officially support the original N7 and another 3 months before live streaming was added.
Update: The CNN app on the play store states that they are aware of the issues with 4.3 and are working on fix, hope that comes soon.
The MLB.TV app for Android TV updated to v1.3.4 recently.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bamnetworks.mlbtv
This new version only shows a black screen when trying to watch any video on it. Has anyone else encountered this problem on their Nexus Player? I don't think it's a regional blackout issue because videos are playable on the MLB At Bat app on my Nexus 5 which is still able to cast content over to the Nexus Player. The MLB.TV app was working fine at v1.3.2 but I don't have a saved copy of the older APK file to revert back to.
Anyone? The problem is still ongoing so until the MLB.TV app starts working properly, it's only good for displaying scores. I'll just have to cast games over to the Nexus Player instead.
Same problem since last update (that was on Saturday I think..)
Some good folks on Reddit got it working by disabling and re-enabling Location in the android settings and then reinstalling the app but no luck for me. Tried bunch of times, many reboots, clear cache etc..
Sadly, I can't find an older .apk to downgrade
At least now I know I'm not the only one who's experiencing this. Can you post a link to the reddit page where they discussed this problem? I think you're referring to https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/3isfu0/mlbtv_premium_broken_after_update/ if I'm not mistaken. I tried the location setting adjustment and uninstall / reinstall of the MLB.TV app on my Nexus Player but that still didn't fix the video problem. The radio streams work but who installs this app on Android TV to listen to radio streams? I'm disappointed that MLB.TV v1.3.3 and v1.3.4 were released without adequate testing.

It seems to be working on Shield and some Sony TVs :S
I wonder if upgrading to M Preview could help
October is coming.. better fix this soon
FYI I flashed M preview 3 to find out MLB.tv doesn't work on Prev 2&3 ..
Flashed last factory image for 5.1.1 and now the app works perfectly. FINALLY
I'd rather not reflash my Nexus Player with a factory image. I flashed Android 5.1.1 (LMY48J) a few weeks ago and don't plan to start over until Android 6.0 Marshmallow is officially released this year. It's disappointing that the MLB.TV app is still problematic but I'll stick with casting games and video clips from MLB At Bat until things change for the better.
Hmmm, now that Google has released Android 5.1.1 build LMY48N, I may go ahead and flash that factory image and try the MLB.TV app after a clean install.

Okay, so MLB.TV v1.3.4 is working on a clean install of Android 5.1.1 LMY48N. I've noticed that when I install AdAway and its latest hosts file, however, this leads to the black screen issue with MLB.TV videos.

OMG.. so that means the only reason why I couldn't watch games was that I had AdAway?
I think so, @koperniczx3. I wish I had realized it before I resorted to a clean install of Android but it seems to be what causes the black screen issue on my current configuration. Once the AdAway hosts file is disabled and the Nexus Player is restarted, MLB.TV videos play again. I think that this conflict with AdAway has something to do with this line from the MLB.TV v1.3.3 changelog:
- Support for Pre Roll Ads on Free Game of the Day and Game Recaps for free mlb.com registered users.
I'll just have to do without AdAway until after the MLB postseason. The ironic thing is that AdAway has a "Log DNS Requests" feature that could be used to identify and whitelist the MLB server(s) but that feature is generally inaccessible on Android TV because the 3 dots menu in that app (and other sideloaded apps) is missing on Android 5.1 and higher.
I've had the Nvidia Shield TV 16GB with only the game pad remote for 2 hours now. I did unlock bootloader and root.
Amazing device so far.
But I had installed hulu and activated my account.
The first time I tried to voice search for a show in hulu, one show that my kid watches "watch regular show" and I get a choice of google play movies and hulu which seamed fine.
few minutes later I tried the same thing but only get google play movies option. I tried several times with different words. even tried "watch regular show on hulu".
I then try other shows I subscribe to on hulu with same result.
Can't get hulu as a choice anymore.
I tried a reboot as well.
Just wonder if this is common issue or maybe it will sort itself out eventually.
Edit: I am on latest update and controller updated as well.
Newbie here and have searched as much as I can.
I’ve got a Tesla Style unit installed.
All works fine but certain apps will play for about five seconds then crash. These include (YouTube, Apple Music, netflix)
Other video streaming apps work fine. iplayer, cinemahd etc.
What could be causing this? And is there anything I can do to resolve it?
Thanks
Little update

I checked earlier and it’s also happening when trying to view YouTube or Netflix through the chrome browser. It’ll play for a few seconds then crash chrome.
