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.

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.
Hello,
I am getting a 1 second sound delay effecting menu and all apps after the device is left on over night, tried factory resetting and with and without sleep mode. Has anyone else experienced this issue or have a solution for me?
Thanks
I was going to say the same thing. I have random one second lag in YouTube (rarely), BSDroid (always), but not in Plex or Kodi. The problem is fixed by pausing in YouTube and jumping forward on BSDroid. It's a big pain as these issues don't affect the chrome cast I have on the same TV and network.
I don't have to wait, it's pretty much out of the box. I have tried stock 5.1.1, rooted 5.1.1, CM12 nightlies, and all AOSP roms available. I feel like it's an issue with the Google Cast app? I'll try 5.1 and see if the situation changes tomorrow.
I haven't even bothered rooting mine yet, as this issue goes right down into the system. Even moving around the menu their is a 1 second delay in the sound. Only goes away with a reboot.
I think I may have found my issue, it seems that when I put the TV into PC mode to fix the overscan I get this sound lag after the TV turns off and then back on again. still troubleshooting it though.
Waited a while to get some new nightlies out and still the same problem. Tried 3 different TVs, all casted audio is delayed and has to be reset. Guess i have a junker now
Using "Netflix for Android TV 2.2 build 636" from the Sony TV APKs on my nexus player
Keep getting the error
"It looks like Netflix has been deactivated on this device"
have to re-login very frequently
Any ideas on how to solve this?
2.2.1 build 643 is on the Play Store, I've only had one forced reactivation with it so far.
But yeah Netflix for Android TV is quite buggy - a lazy port by the looks of it.
I got this Bs twice tonight.. like seriously? wtf is going on

Just got off the phone with netflix
had this happening, literally after every episode tonight. after troubleshooting everything at my house, thoroughly, I spent about an hour going through things with netflix support. apparently this is a known issue and for now there was no resolution. he said give it some time and check back if not resolved after having been escalated to tier 3 support.
Yeah it was quite bad, I noticed it seemed to be triggered consistently just after autoplaying a new episode - always within the first 30 seconds - but not after manually picking the next ep.
yup same here. honestly, I bought my dad a fire TV and myself a nexus and this nexus is garbage compared to the fire TV.. especially since I'm a prime member. I might just buy a fire TV and sell this pos.

Keep getting it too.
Really annoying.
Thought it was because I'm using it through a VPN / UnoTelly DNS but seems like it's just their terrible, terrible app being terrible.

I have a Nexus Player and started getting this about 48 hours ago. It's annoying. Thanks for the workaround... I'll have to try that! I'm sick and tired of having to login after ever darn episode!!!
I do have the same problem, but i use dns4me.
on the help center (for xbox), it says that you should put dns settings on automatic.
Same issue here. Could it be related to IPv6 DNS? I have IPv6 6to4 turned on in my router and the IPv6 DNS is visible in the settings but no IPv6 adress is assigned for the device in the settings. Also in contact with the Netflix support here in Sweden, they called to US and they will investigate an call back in a few days. What ROM do you others guys use? Stock? I installed CM to be able to mount USB for Kodi.
This just started happening to me last night as well and now I have to keep logging in after every show. Time to hit them up....
I'm in the same boat guys.
I guess the bright side is I finally got around to installing cyanogenmod which of course didn't fix the issue.
I'm having this issues since a week or two. It must be a problem on the apps side only. More and more Playstore reviews and forum posts are coming up about this.
In a netflix support chat, they said that they are already working on a fix for this ... I hope so, because that's really lame.
Just came by to say the same thing is happening to me. Spent an hour on the phone with Netflix tech support, tried everything on my end, still having the same problem. Hope enough people call tech support so they know this is an issue.
i dont watch netflix often on the player, but i have this build and just fired it up and ran a few random videos. i had no errors or forced reactivations. it recognized me from the last time i ran it so it went right to the last played video i just played on my htpc...

The bug is triggered when autoplaying episodes, not when manually selecting them.
Edit: may be related to Settings > Help > Device, UI Build: release-20150707_170-zircon.
Same thing, asus nexus player
Got the exact same thing with my Asus Nexus Player.. 2.2.1 Build 643 of netflix app..
Need to reactivate every time it autoplays i to the next episode.. Manual select seems to br the workaround atm, tho quite annoying
I also have this problem, latest netflix on nexus plater stock rom
Me too. Netflix support just ask to sign out of app, power down the nexus player for a minute, power it back up, sign back in. Seemed to fix it, but then it was doing it again as soon as I actually watched an episode rather than just fast forwarding to the last 30 seconds.
Tried a clearing of the app data, didn't help. Tried a factory reset, that didn't help either.
longer explanation...
ok besides the fact the original episodes of mission impossible and knight rider are no longer on the site (expired licenses), i played one full episode of star trek, the original series (these shows are great background flicks whilst one is doing other things) and i was not forced out or required to sign off/on.
a bit of an aside, i have an ipad i have on my elliptical that i view whilst exercising, and when i would switch from that to the htpc i would sometimes have to re-log back in on the htpc. the error would say something to the effect of i cant be logged onto two different places at the same time, even though both devices (the htpc and ipad) are on the same network and subnet. i just figured the apple app has a different way of signing in. this error just started happening a couple weeks ago (i was using the ipad for months prior), so now i just turn on the television that the htpc is on and just view that whilst working on the machine and not had to re-log into the htpc (which is just the website netflix.com).
My Moto360 has started not displaying a card notification when receiving a message via WhatsApp. All other notifications are vibrating and switching on the display with card, but WhatsApp it just vibrates.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installting whatsapp, tried re-syncing the apps, but WhatsApp continues not to switch the screen on ... any ideas?
You haven't blocked whatsapp from showing notifications on your 360? Its easily done by accident. You might have swiped then clicked on block this app. If you go into your wear settings, then blocked apps, check to see whatsapp isnt there.
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
Nope, checked that .. nothing in the Blocked Apps. The phone vibrates, so it is getting the notification, but unlike all the other apps which vibrate and switch the screen on, this just vibrates. When I wake the screen, the notification is shown
Yeh, sorry, when I re-read your post I realised you couldn't have whatsapp in the blocked list if you are getting the vibration. #facepalm ?.
I had a similar issue with not receiving cards for my outlook work emails on a different device to my 360 a while back, it turned out to be an app I had used to set a custom vibration pattern for my outlook notifications. Im guessing that if you had a similar app installed you would have checked that.. also Im sure you would have tried a restart of your 360..
I think the problem is with your 360 as your phone is clearly pushing the notification to your 360 if you are getting the vibration. I know an app resync usually fixes most issues but as you've tried that what about a factory reset of your moto 360? I know its a bit drastic but I don't know what else to suggest.
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
Tried a reset as well ... the funny (annoying part), is that the screen on notification did work for a while, and then just suddenly stopped, withouth me installing anything, so not so sure it is an issue with the Moto 360, as all other notifications pop up ..... WhatsApp is the only one that does not
Yeh thats really odd. Maybe someone else will have a suggestion that can fix it. What version of the 360 do you have? Ive got the smaller mens 2015 version. I'm at the end of my tether with it tbh for other reasons. The lag on the the device is so bad for me its virtually unusable by the end of my working day. Im gonna sell it and get the watch urbane instead.
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
I have the 1st Gen, and to be honest I am more than happy with it, even with the outdated processor in there, don't really get that much lag with it .... and taking it off charge at 7 in the morning, and putting back on around 10pm ... still gettng about 40%+ battery left.
Surprised the 2nd gen (2015) version that you are having lags with it, have heard it was supposed to be rock solid
What other issues you having?
I get "android wear has stopped working" at least twice a day. Which means it can crash without me knowing so i miss notifications and calls throughout the day. Thats my biggest gripe at the moment. Then the lag progressively gets worse throughout the day, the only way i can fix it is to do a reboot but at its worst it can take 2-3 minutes for me to get into settings then another few minutes for each option in settings to load before i can choose restart device. I tried a factory restore last night but its already crashed 3 times today..
When i compare it to my other smart watch my 360 doesn't have that 60fps smoothness when navigating the interface. I did read that if you disable ambient then the lag isnt so bad but i like having ambient on.
I'm planning on making a YouTube video of how bad it is over weekend.

I initially had the android wear stopping issue with mine, what I tried was a reset of the watch, removed all pairing with the phone, and then installed an older version of Android Wear .. think it was 1.1 (do a search on google, you will find a load of links). Then reset my watch up to the phone .... but .... tried running on Android Wear 1.1 for a few days, and it was stable. I then upgraded the Android Wear 1.4 through the Play Store (make sure to disable auto update, whilst testing, otherwise off it will go), and mine has been rock solid

Thanks for the reply. I think I'll try out your suggestion now. Need my watch working, I've come to really rely on my watch for notifications as I can't have my phone on during working hours. It got so bad today with the lag and crashes I had to use my Razer Nabu instead of my Moto360.
Fingers crossed, I'll let you know how it goes [emoji106]

The 2nd Gen really should not be that bad, as said, I have the 1st Gen and to be honest, hardly any lag, so hope this workaround works for you

As the moto 360 2015 doesn't have a cable, its wireless charging only, how would you reflash a previous version of wear? Im kinda stumped lol
Last night I did another factory reset and i uninstalled a lot of apps that i didn't want running on my moto. Some apps seem to have a companion wear app for their mobile equivalent that automatically install.. Well ive taken a lot of crap off and i have seemed to have fixed the stability issue. Also i can use my device albeit with a small amount of lag. This i can live with for now, it seems that moto knows about "always on" causing lag on some devices. I'll hold out for an update to fix it [emoji106] [emoji3]
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
Ah, should have said .. it is not Android Wear on the watch, but the companion android wear on the phone that I installed an older version. Don't believe you can actually change the version on the actual watch
I have ambient mode off, wifi off (dont really see the point) and tilt to wake off ... as it kept coming on when I changed gear in the car lol
install quick for wear
i know it's an old thread, but i still have the problem in android wear 2.0.
whatsapp notifications are extremely unreliable. it's like the developers do every single thing their own way.
i set my watch to show notifications until i swipe it away or down, the very few times whatsapp actually shows the notification it goes away after a few seconds.
the notifications do work, as i can manually swipe to the notifications and they're there. they just refuse to show automatically.
i'm not a heavy user, so i get few notifications of which most of them are from whatsapp. so my watch functions more like a normal watch.
Whattsapp issues wear 2.0
I too get a buzz but no card till I manually swipe up anyone managed to fix this whattsapp support are useless auto gen email each time
Google Play books and movies keep randomly disable themselves and i have to go to play store every time they disappear in order to enable them .... Does any one know why ?
Same Problem
I have this problem since Nougat but only Play Movies & TV that keeps disabled itself. In Google Product forums Pixel user also have same problem but have been fixed with February patch. My MiA1 just got March update but why I still have this problem .?
Same here. Even with android Oreo, the problem has not gone away..
(no root, no unlock bootloader, recently factory reset)
I got different problems with the same apps. Instead, my phone notifies, for about 2 sec after turning on WI-FI, that either of them are running in background.
I have the same problem
