is there a fix to this issue
i have to always restart box after clearing cache and data for it to work
otherwise its stuck on the loading circle
any tips?
thanks
I was wondering, have you solved the problem?
BBC iPlayer doesn't seem to like my Fire TV. It starts off fine, but after a while the spinning wheel of death appears and it kills the box altogether.
I have no problems at all with Amazon videos.
Amazon don't seem to able to reproduce my problem, so can't really help (they have tried and got in touch with me several times).
I am in the UK with Talk Talk and on fibre.

Try force quitting all your other apps, and/or restart the Fire TV. Netflix seems to have issues when apps,like XBMC, are closed but still ideal in the background.
I got it fix had to call amazon I had yo cleat data on amazon video and power off the system for about 1 min. Amazon said it has sometime to do with drm
title says it all, turned on my Fire Tv and all there is a blank screen. I'm at a loss what would cause this? full sd card perhaps? I have XBMC installed with Xbmc launcher installed. Funny enough i can still access voice control through the remote and access apps like netflix. Any help would be great
Samething happen to mines yesterday. Now it wont even make sound or play any content.
What firmware version did each of you last have?
If both are the same,then it might be related to the issue.
Or bad problems with XBMC and/or the location you got it from including how you got it.
The same problem happens to my unit today. No video signal from HDMI to TV. How can I reset the unit?
Got the Amazon fire TV one week back and its not rooted, but Installed XBMC.
When I try to watch a video on you tube after 5 to 10 minutes, it starts buffering and the video doesnt play afterwards, I have to go back and open it againa, and forward it to the original place and watch it, again after 5 minutes samethign happens..
Same with XBMC, after 5 minutes video buffers, but after couple of minutes if click play button video resumes, but after couple of minutes buffering starts...
I watch youtube on my laptop or chromecast, it works perfectly , so i dont think there is any problem with wifi. Also I have download speeds of 20MBPS +
Is it because of faulty device or anythign else. Yestereday i cleared youtube apps data, still the problem continues.. Please suggest me how can I resolve it??
TIA
I can't help but blame and jab qualcomm with a stick when it comes to Fire TV problems.
Especially Fire TV is stuck with older v5x instead of v66.
I have my own video issues where it fails entirely.
After long enough,videos completely refuse to work (error ocurred) on YouTube and many others until I restart with ctrl+alt+delete hotkeys.
I haven't seen it happen in quite a while though since modding several minor aspects with various performance tweaks.
I talked to staples, they are sending me a new device, but looking at the problems that people have, the new device may not solve the problem... Lets see..
If i open netflix 10 times on my fire tv 9 times it will tell me it is unable to connect to netflix . Is anyone else having this issue also? Or has anyone had it and figured out how to fix it. I have cleard cache and data and even reinstalled a few times and nothing seems to fix it. Any idea or help would be great.
Usually happens when you use Kodi as a launcher or minimize to Home rather than exiting. Try quitting Kodi.
If not Kodi, suspect other background apps.
OS 5 handles this better (but has other, larger, problems).

It's really strange that so many people have had major issues with Netflix for so long and Amazon doesn't seem to acknowledge it on a large scale. Mine has worked fine for months but that wasn't always the case and I still have the occasional video that won't load.
You can try the old prescription (something like this)
1. Uninstall Netflix
2. Go to apps/Amazon video and clear data 3 times
3. Unplug aftv for at least 10 seconds
4. Reinstall Netflix.
*if you have CWM, you can also wipe dalvik & cache partition (after step 3). It's just an added measure and maybe not necessary.
i can get netflix to load now but when trying to watch a video it loads to 25% and then tells me the title cant be played right now...
I have 2 fire sticks, on the 1 I have no issues. The other it is constantly cutting out but only when watching Netflix. When I say cutting out, it will drop audio and visual for a few seconds, the screen goes black, and then it picks back up as if it had been playing the whole time (so you end up missing a couple words of what is being said). I have tried clearing the cache, uninstalling & re-installing Netflix, restarting the fire stick, when I do this stuff, it SOMETIMES fixes it temporarily but before long it starts again. This has gone on for quite a while (despite numerous updates) and only happens with Netflix. I've tried searching for answers online but haven't found anything with exactly this problem and the only things close are what lead me to the steps that I've already taken. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
