Google Play music not updating.. - Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So now with songza gone. I tried to using google play music on my Nexus player but it seems to be stuck on an old version. 5.9.1854R when the current version is 6.3.2317v. And I need that version to get the Songza playlist items that have now been incorporated into google play music.. but my nexus player will not update.. it tells me my old version is current. Any one else having this issue?

I have noticed the same thing. The only thing I was able to do to get the streaming playlists on the NP right now was to cast from Google Play Music on an Android device. Google should have planned this better.

Hmmm yea just realized this as well.

Ya I also just did a force install of the latest google play music APK and it just crashes when you open the program. Wonder when they will fix this...

Was coming on to post the same results.. Wonder if play services needs to be updated as well?

I just subscribed for a month and it showed up, so it seems to be just a paid service

songza features are free I can use them on my phone and tablet and even goto the website and use it like songza worked... for free.. Its just not working on the nexus player or Android TV interface.

I'm having the same problem. Works fine on all my other devices. I'm in Canada, in case this may be a regional thing.

My subscription expired. and access to the streaming gone as well

Hello guys
Try to clear cache and app data, worked for me. Using stock Android 7.0 and latest GPM version.

Can't get music to play ICS?

So i've downloaded the nexus q app for ICS and the newest google play music app and I don't see how i can get music to play on the nexus q.. is there something i'm missing??
is that google music manager required?
thanks in advance.
Yes - you need to download Music Manager on your computer and it will start to upload music to Google Music. Once it's uploaded, it'll show in both the web interface at http://music.google.com/ and in the Google Play Music app.

Ok so if I understand correctly, this Google q is playing music stored on Google music that's been uploaded from a pc, not music that is stored on your phone then...?
Btw can u upload music to Google music directly from ur phone?
Thanks again
i've have tried a thousand times to get the google music manager working, im located outside of the US in Canada and this service is only avail inside US, I tried to use TOR to change IP no idea if it worked, it will not allow me to sign into google music period. any ideas?
Is this because my google account is registered in canada????? I have no idea, this has just become so damn annoying and a complete waste of time

Works for me in the Netherlands. Can you login to music.google.com ? The block is only for activation, after that everything should be normal.

It says this service is not yet available in your country. Perhaps the torrc file is not editing correctly.. to change my IP to a US IP address..?
Got it working.... the tor program hasn't been working since the latest update. So I used "hide my IP" instead.

Google Play Music update fixes Touchless Control

Short and sweet, but someone had mentioned a mix of 4.4.2 OTA and GPM's update fixed being able to play music via Touchless Control. I'm on 4.4 (not 4.4.2) VZW and can confirm that Touchless Control now will play any song in your phone. Give it a shot and let us here at XDA know if the same is present for you all cheers!
You can only play the songs if you bought them through Google play right? I never bought any songs from Google play, I just uploaded my collection into google music. Whenever I use touchless control to play music, Google search just takes me to google play, it never opens the music app
Nope, I have Ariana Grande's CD ripped myself and it's stored on my "sdcard" not the cloud.
EDIT: I do have music through GPM's store, and those worked fine pre-update, but now music that I've copied to the internal memory works, so it seems to have been fixed for all media that GPM sees.

Don't know if you were referring to my post in the 4.4.2 thread, but I am experiencing the same with touchless controls playing music. Most of my music is ripped and stored on the phone as well, and it pretty much plays anything I say using the phrase, example "play The Beatles". Since you don't have 4.4.2 like I do I assume the update to GPM fixed it. Thanks for posting.
I think it only works in the US.

When I say "Okay Google Now, play The Script" (or any music) it verifies it's going to play it, goes into the GPM and then it just pops up a keyboard and the song file, as if I had searched for it via GPM and not Google Now and doesn't start playing it automatically. I have Google Now set to start playing GPM as my player of choice, but it just acts like I was looking for it and doesn't actually play it.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

Mine does the same thing with the keyboard, (don't understand what the deal is with the keyboard) but it plays a song. Are you sure your not set to pause? Have you tried setting GPM as your default player again?
You know, it really depends on what mood my phone is in, I told it to play "What's My Name" by Rihanna and it played it, but if I tell it some songs, it will search it and say "Couldn't start instant mix" and won't play, despite it showing in the search results. I think it's still hit or miss, but saying an artist (providing Google can pick apart the artist's name) it will play them. Work in progress for Touchless Control (Actually this is a Google Now thing) but once they find more bugs, GPM will get updated and actually use the API's correctly. As far as I know, this is US only until they open it to more regions.

Google appears to have "closed the loophole" on the Web Play Store

We used to be able to install some apps that didn't show on the Nexus Player Play Store, using the version. However, I just noticed that apps that used to be available for the Nexus Player, are no longer installable. Check for instance Now Browser, and Chrome. Is anyone else experiencing the same?

Lollirock 2.0 shows up as a Nexus Player still to the Play store. Won't let me install a lot of applications.
EDIT: Ok it still lets me do Dead Trigger 2.

Can't find Netflix in Play Store of my new Android TV/Nexus Player

I just got a new Android TV/Nexus Player device. And was able to find other media apps either installed as soon as I set things up or via going to the Google Play Store app in the Android TV device. But I have not been able to find Netflix. And when I go to Google Play using a PC web browser, the page for the Netflix app says that Netflix is not compatible with my "No carrier Asus Nexus Player".
Anyone know why? I've searched here and been unable to find an answer so far. I know there's the ability to side load apps. But being new to Nexus Player, I'd just like to get Netflix quickly installed via Play Store if possible.
Any help is appreciated.
Worked with Netflix support. Did a hard reset and entered my Google credentials manually. And Netflix is there now.
Just setup my Nexus Player... same issue. Netflix is MIA on the device and Google Play Store says Nexus Player isn't compatible.
Can you provide a bit more detail on the fix Netflix gave you? Hard reset what? The NP? Manually entered Google credentials? Where? TIA.

Reset to factory settings
After you reset to Factory settings, the first thing on screen will be a prompt for Language/Region. Be sure you pick the correct one for where you are, since Netflix won't work with some selections. I don't know which don't work. Mine is "English US". After that, you'll be asked to setup your Google account. Which you can do via web browser or entering your Google ID/password manually on the Nexus Player. I entered my manually on the Nexus Player.
I've attempted resets and manually entering passwords, disabling location, enabling location and still no luck.
This is a brand new out of the box Nexus Player yet I cannot access Netflix due to it thinking I'm "out of region" or something.
Just got mine today and same problem. What I did was go to settings>apps (under the device menu). Under system apps, find Google play store and click it. Click force stop and OK it. Clear cache, then clear data. Click open and Netflix should be there.
Same problem.
try update your Nexus player to lolipop 5.1.1 in Setting > apps > About
go on the google play website and find Netflix compatible with android tv
Same problem; updated to 5.1.1, factory reset, updated all apps, still no Netflix available on Google Play.
So I downloaded the APK found at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/help/netflix-apk-t3121671
and installed it. Worked perfectly.
It seems there are newer versions of the apk (http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netflix-inc/) but I haven't tried it.
I don't have a micro USB adapter to use an external storage, so I placed the apk on a windows share in the network and pulled it with ES File Explorer on the Nexus Player.
You need to allow the installation of non-Play Store apps in Settings, Security.

Just grab the APK file somewhere legit. That's what I did when it didn't appear in the Play Store. Maybe you can even request it from them. I dunno.

[SOLVED] Apple Music

Anyone using Apple Music? Everything is set up on my A1 running official LOS 15.1. I can sign in, see my library etc. and downloaded some songs for offline listening, but the soonest I press play button on a song, it stopped right away like it's refusing to play. Suggestion? Thank you for reading.
Edit: The latest Apple Music v2.5 from Play Store somehow doesn't work but v2.4.3 works fine (at least can play music).

Try restoring the app.

Restore, like from a backup? I've been trying to install from scratch but no joy. This is the first time I use AM in android.
Edit: After much reading most probably the app is only compatible up to Android N.
Edit2: The latest update, which is Apple Music v2.5 kind of broke it. Apple Music v2.4.3 is working fine.
