I open the Google Movies, Select a film, get the Drive in scene but the screen is not playing the movie I selected.
Tap on the screen, see a time bar (does not move) , click on the the play Icon "nothing happens"
What can I be doing wrong ?
Not like it matters much in 30 minutes doing anything with the Daydream VR I get an overheat alarm. There is no way I can see I can watch even a short 70 minute film.

just got my fire tv yesterday and love it. i have xmbc loaded and it works perfectly other than one thing. after being at idle for more than 30 minutes, it does not go to sleep
i've googled it and i see that other's have this issue. but the thing that confuses me is there is no option within xbmc to close, sleep, or shut down after set period of time?. on my window based HTPC downstairs, i am able to set a time on which the computer will either close the program, sleep, shutdown whatever.
is there a way i can add that function back to XBMC or an add on ? i tend to use XBMC to watch a movie or listen to music while falling asleep and it would be nice to have the fire tv sleep rather than staying on.
thanks

XBMC does have a timed quit function, but it's not visible in the settings by default. Go to XBMC's "Settings", then to "System". In the bottom left will be "Settings level". Change the settings level to either "Advanced" or "Expert". Then go to the "Power saving" menu and at the top is the setting you're looking for. Set "Shutdown function timer" to some value in minutes, and set "Shutdown function" to "Quit".
Hello, I have Nexus 7 (2013) and wonder if there is a way to always force Youtube app to play in full screen once I hold it in landscape mode. In other words, say I found a video I want to view and I hold the device either in portrait or landscape mode, then i press the play button and video automatically fills the whole screen and plays in landscape mode.
Currently, if I want to play video in full screen, I have to press first once to activate Youtube app's lower panel and then on the arrows on the video's lower right button. So basically I wonder if there is way to remove these extra steps. My toddler daughter is watching lots of Youtube cartoons and every time she starts to watch a new video I have to approach her and manually make it play in full screen mode.

Not that I know of.
Sounds like a good candidate for an xposed module, request it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/index-xposed-modules-collection-post-t2327541
When I play a video, it starts off as a black screen and won't wake up until I touch it. Then after a while, when the bar with the pause, fast forward, rewind etc buttons disappears, the screen goes black again. I can still hear the audio playing. This only happens with videos I have filmed on the device (either saved off snapchat or the in built camera app) and still occurs on other video playing apps. Is there any way to fix this?
I have this problem too. check the box next to "Disable HW Overlay" under developer options.
After a week or so it unchecks it again for some reason, and I go back and check that box. It's a temporary fix, hopefully there's a way to stop this behavior.
I have the same problem, please help T.T
Android Auto has come a long way especially now that it has OK Google voice commands in it. Before I didn't like it because when a message popped up, I'd still have to touch the notification in order to have the message read out. Now I can "OK Google" and say "read my messages" and it will read them out loud.
My biggest worry is burn in. That navigation bar at the bottom of Android Auto doesn't change at all. Has anyone had any issues with Android Auto causing burn in on their screen? I used to use drivemode which ran int he background but it gets finicky at times especially if Google has update their Google search app.
I tried to turn on screensaver and while it comes on when android auto is activated, I can't see any notifications while the screensaver is on.
Any advice?

I use Android Auto 45m+ 2x/day 5days/week for the last 2 months on my Pixel and haven't noticed any hint of burn in. Mine is typically left on the map view, but I do switch to the audio view occasionally. I know that's only one data point, so take that for what it's worth.

That's more than I use it so that's a good sign. Thanks for the input.

You should be fine honestly. I've used mine for 7 hours straight in our last road trip to visit family couple weekends ago. Had it on high brightness because the dang rental want tinted.

FWIW I've noticed burn-in on my Note 4. I've been driving for around 2 hours a day for the last few months, and have it on map view. There's a definitely yellowing where the map sits with noticeable light patches where the button bar is at the bottom, and the info panel at the top.
you'll get burn in. it's amoled. i've come to terms with it for the simple reason that i probably won't have the phone for more than a year or 2, so who cares
I use a app called "Navbar Apps" by damian in the play store. it changes the nav bar colors based on the app in the foreground. this keeps the black away, and gives my pixel a nice look.
I have serious burn in on the S7 Edge, can see the bar at the bottom, the arrow button for getting to maps and the search button on the top right from the maps interface (round circle with a magnifying glass in).
Didn't notice until yesterday. Now can't stop seeing it. Have used Android Auto for about 4 months 60 mins a day at least split into two commutes.
Looks like my next phone will be IPS LCD
You will get burn in. Thats just how amoled works.

Does anyone else have this issue?
Maps is open and full screen, I'm driving somewhere and I need to ask Google a question. I used to say 'OK Google where's the nearest gas station', I would then see gas stations on my route.
Now when I say OK Google, Maps closes down to a small floating screen, and Google doesn't answer my question.
I've done some testing and the issue only happens when the phone is landscape. I keep my phone in landscape when in my car and cannot change this.
I never had this issue up until 4-6 weeks ago,
When in portrait and I say 'OK Google' I get a bar at the bottom with the Google Voice icon displayed, see screenshot with yellow arrow.
However In landscape that bar doesn't show and saying ok Google refund me to the home screen
I'm sure that bar at the bottom is 'driving mode'. I turned off driving mode, however now my issue appears in portrait and landscape!
I look to have resolved it! Uninstalling the Google app from Play Store, then clicking 'Update', then restarting phone.
Then go into Google app>settings>voice>Voice Match> Enable hey Google. I now noticed the white bar shown in the attached was showing. I then clicked the blue bar, something like 'enable more features'.
Now the behaviour is that I'm in maps full screen (portrait or landscape) I say OK Google, the same thing happens before where it returns me to home screen and minimises maps to a little floatingng window, however I see the white bar, I say my request 'find Gas station', and make comes up full screen and showed my gas stations on my route!
Darn it, its reverted back to how it was!
