Netflix not working or..? - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is Netflix not working on the fire TV? I start to play a movie and it sits and 99 percent and I can hear the movie starting but the loading screen stays on. Just started tonight

Happened to me before. Stop the movie and restart it a couple of times. Eventually it will work.

I had issues with Netflix earlier this week too. It would either do that or the movie would load, play for about 30 seconds, then crash. Go into managing applications and clear the data. That worked for me.

Nothing is working. I tried clearing data, uninstalled Netflix and reinstalled.. Restarted like 100 times.. Nothing!

So yeah, it started working on its own.. Hmmm. Ha, thanks people for the tips.

Way too many Netflix issues. This streaming service worked better on my laptop in like 2006 when you had few choices and they sold those boxes that only played Netflix. I'm quick to blame fire os but noticed lots of people complaining about the android tv version on playstore. Never had a problem with Netflix on any other device though.

[Q] You tube app constantly buffers on wifi

I have att note 2 with stock rom but rooted. I was having issues with old router at the house so i bought new netgear dual band router. And I have comcast cable with about 22 meg down and 6 meg up so this should be enough to play hd on a phone.
My issue is when i play a youtube vid thats hd it plays for 10 seconds then buffers like the bandwidth isnt enough. My note 1 played these vids in hd no problem. Wifes gs3 plays them no prob. My friend has gn2 also and has the same issue with buffering. However when i kill all recent apps and clear ram and then restart phone it will play the vid easily with no buffering. Then a couple vids later it starts not loading fast enough again. I also have app cashe cleaner that i use about once a week to clear the cash of all apps.
It seems like this happened after one of the last major re-design updates.
Just wondering if anyone has the same problem or a solution?
Sucks! I have the same prob!

I have problems with YouTube app and browsers

Hello all,
I just got my nexus 7 2013 yesterday! But if I update the newest version of YouTube, it will restart.
If I use any browser Chorme, Aosp, firefox , etc o play video clips from YouTube, or any video pages, it restarts.
I used to have problem with the camera also, but it was fixed with the new update! Has anyone experienced the same problems? And any suggestion to solve? Thank you

Okay clear app data and uninstall updates. See if you can play videos in browser then; if you can, update the app again

This is what I did:
Uninstalled New Youtube app, go back to old YouTube, and it works fine.
Deleted the old youtube and install the new one from play store => restart like crazy
Try to turn on "Force GPU 2D rendering", browsers could go a bit longer than 30 secs before restarting
Every browser has that problem.....
Camera, turned on, and restart, but in the newest firmware with the Q, it was fixed.
Apps like Vevo works normally.
Install Plants VS Zombies 2, restart every now and then

You could always try and go for a complete wipe and flash the Google stock image. I'm pretty sure that it'll be fixed then.

Can I flash stock image through CWM or TRWP?
I think nothing works until now! I bought this in the US, but I came back to Australia already! Cannot return since it is not officially sold in here!
I started thinking about the hardware problems
Hope no one will get bad experience from Google and Asus like me! What a waste of money!
Can only use it to surf web and something like that, multimedia functions are dead!
Anyway! I did a bad choice!

I've got very similar issues, any programs incorporating video randomly lock up and reboot the tablet. I've uninstalled the latest YouTube app and stopped it auto updating which seem to have stabilized that but stuff like Skype still lock up.
Brought mine back from the US to the UK and I'm going to try Asus support see what they say, otherwise I'll have to try rooting and maybe a custom rom in time.
Don't bother to root it! Just bring to Asus since it is official launced there! I rooted, tried a number of different roms, but still the same.
New error for me, flickering screen......

What is this icon in middle of my screen?

This icon popped up in my youtube app out of nowhere in the last few days. It also dims the vid. I have no idea what it is or where it came from and it’s driving me nut. Please help.
That is the icon to enable casting via Chromecast.
Silly question but I don't have chromcast so how do I get rid of this icon?
You possibly have Google TV then? It would only show up if you have chromecast or Google TV

Fyi does this for my samsung smart tv, and does this at my dads apartment as well because the guy that lives below him has a samsung smart tv.
Its youtube telling you that you can send to the ssmart tv.

That's the weird thing, I don't have a smart TV, dumb TV or any TV for that matter in the house right now and this thing just popped up out of the blue.
So the question remains, how do I get rid of it?
Uninstall chromecast

I have the same same problem and don't know how to get ridbof it.
Are you on an unsecured network? On the same network with a ps3 or blu ray player with Youtube streaming? I get that icon when I have Youtube opened on my Note 2 and open the Youtube app on my ps3.
There must be a way to dismiss that icon, right? I mean even if you do have Chromcast, it doesn't mean you necessarily want to cast everything.
Maybe the Chromecast section of the forums can help.
I have a Samsung Smart TV that I have linked to my Nexus 7 youtube for Optional transmission to the TV.
But recently, YouTube has started showing this icon permanently when viewing youtube videos on my Nexus, slap bang in the middle the screen.
Im surprised that arent a huge number of people reporting this problem at this forum. Any solution would be appreciated.

On my Note II this is what I did to turn it off.
Settings-->More Settings--->Allshare Cast and make sure it's off.
Funny thing, that none of you even considered that it's a freaking bug in youtube!
Uninstall update in play store and it's fixed.

Same problem here, I'm running CM nigthlies, but I found this post --> productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/91-3-Nh3BHM[/url][1-25-true] --> which relates the problem to connected bluetooth headsets.
Disconecting my bluetooth headset worked for me, but it didn't for others.
I hope this helps and that the bug gets solved, I just don't want to have to unplug my headset to watch a video....
Yes, I do use a bluetooth headset when I see the problem.

Thanks a bunch!!! Been fighting this stupid symbol for weeks and never once thought it was a bug or issue with youtube. Just assumed my Note II had a problem or my bluetooth or wifi or anything else besides what it really was....youtube! Uninstalled the updates and symbol was magically *poof* gone! I can no longer watch the video while continuing to do something else but a small price to pay until youtube fixes that issue.
Youtube play updates claims this has been fixed now. I have not tested it yet.

tablet crash when using chrome cast and pulling down notification panel.

this happens to me no matter what I am casting to my chrome case. Google play music. netflix etc. This happens every time I will down the notification panel if I am casting.
anyone else have this issue?

ok, after hours of troubleshooting I found out it only happens if I have the Weather Bug Live notifications enabled. Now I just need to figure out who to report it to. This doesn't happen on my moto x

This is a really nasty bug that seems to affect most (if not all) of the recent Samsung tablets.

Yes. Just found out the same problem a few minutes ago.
I don't believe it happens with Netflix. Just the google play apps (Music, Movies & TV).

You need to edit the setting.xml file and set the time out to 75

I do not see any option in my settings for timeout? Do you have to add this to existing? TY
IPTV Stalker has this error all the time. Usually if you try the channel a few times it will start playing. IPTV Stlker will only be free for 9 more days. Starting July 15th it will become a paid service, so unless they start getting links from another IPTV source the IPTV Stalker app and addon will stop workng soon unless you pay for it.
Good to know, now to see what I actually use. I cut the cord and only pay for ntv addon for sports and thinking of cancelling. Kids love hulu so that's staying along with prime which we never use and won't renew.

Wish I could find something that didn't buff. I didn't mind slingtv but cancelled after they didn't even have hockey playoffs.
