I just unboxed this today. So far every app I have tried to cast from doesn't work. Flixster has an error, 2 different encore apps don't work and VUDU doesn't even see it. I had zero problems on my chromecast. I upgraded to this for the AC band and for my son to play games on it. Now I can't even watch my ultraviolet movies. Is this just me or am I doing something wrong?
VUDU doesn't ever see nexus player for me either. And it stops showing up for other apps frequently. I hope a software update fixes it. Way worse for casting then Chromecast right now.
I can't cast from Ipad, android phone or google chrome anymore. Device is not showing up as a casting device anymore. :crying:
Anyone else with this issue?
The same for me. The Chromecast is still working, but the NP is not. I've also did a factory reset but the result is the same! The Nexus Player is not found in the device list in any of my devices.
I can only repeat what was said before me. Cast shows 'no devices available'. Also tried a factory reset since that is mentioned for earlier versions of android. But that did not work for me also.
Both of mine updated to 6.0. I was able to cast yesterday evening.. There was an update to the cast app about 2 or 3 days ago. Is your app up to date?
Only the Google Play Music sees the Nexus Player, but an atemp to connect to it fails. I've tried reinstalling the Google Cast Receiver, but there is no change.

Same problem for me
The latest google cast receiver app update broke casting for me on 6.0 and 5.1.1... the only app i had which found the nexus player was hulu. YouTube, netflix, bein sports were not finding the nexus player. Try uninstalling the update
Anyone have casting working since the 6.0 update? If so, what version of the Google Cast Receiver do you have?
No casting for me since yesterday. I'll check to see if I am on 6 later.
Casting from ios without a problem. make sure you guys have the updated casting app in the playstore.

Yea, same here, GP Music is the only app that sees the NP. Can't actually get a cast attempt to work though. But not even YouTube is able to see it. Netflix can't either. GP Music just got a recent update. Maybe that helped it to at least see the NP?
When I try and cast things using YouTube and such, nothing running 6.0 is seen.
Time for 6.0.1.
This is shameful for Google. You can't miss a bug like this, unless you totally failed to test.
And I have the latest Chromecast app, always have since it was released.

Casting worked for me for a week after updating to 6.0.
My devices no longer see the Nexus Player as a cast device after installing the most recent Oct 13 update of the Google Cast Receiver app, version 1.16.43955.
I've tried clearing the app data and uninstalling the update (reverting to 1.15) and there's been no change.
The same goes for me, when can we expect Google to solve this, within a reasonable time?
I have got the same issue here on my sony android tv. I was able to cast few days ago, but not now.
Please report back to this thread if someone finds a solution.
In the same boat. Purchased the NP yesterday and was able to cast last night while it was on 5.1.1. This morning I find that the NP updated to 6.0 and now it does not show up as a casting option. Didn't have much time to troubleshoot this morning, but did a factory reset and that had no effect.
Probably not related to marshmallow, my android tv is still in 5.1.1
Same problem. I will attempt to flash 5.1.1 back tonight to see if all is good. Isn't Google testing it's OS? This is some major issue they introduced with 6.0 on the Nexus Player (and possibly all of the Google TV devices running 6.0).

Interesting. When did yours stop working?
ETA: Your case is the only one that I have seen that had the trouble at 5.1.1. Everyone else (including me) had the issue in conjunction with the update to 6.0
No Casting for me after upgrade
No Casting after upgrading to 6.0.. Tried Factory reset, Uninstalling updates to Google Cast Receiver, Clearing Cache & Data
OK. So I have tried Google Cardboard and love it. What I want is a way to use a VR device with Nvidia Shield TV. I have scoured the net and no one is talking about this combo!? So I was able to stream from Shield to my phone. It lags! Has anyone thought about this other than me? Does anyone know of anything in the works? The Shield is powerful enough so why not?
I have a Sony Bravia android/TV 55. I can cast from YouTube and other apps but the mirror to TV won't work. It'll recognize the TV but just sits there and spins. This isn't a big deal really just curious has anyone else had this issue.
Well somehow got it to connect. I don't know how I did it. ?
Bought mine on the Prime deal recently at very good price and all seems ok except iplayer runs for about 8 mins then just stops and returns to shield home screen. I have tried unistalling update which is as far as you can go and then updating and makes no difference, I have even sideloaded the standard android app which just stops but not to home screen.
So far it seems to be just this app as I have Amazon video running with no problems as well as Kodi and spmc .
My Fire tv runs iplayer with no problems.
Anyone else in Uk have this problem or anyone any suggestions please.
how long has it been happening for? if it's only been for a day or so, I'd be inclined to suspect that the problem is with the iplayer service, rather than with the app, and it will sort itself out.
I tend to access iplayer through the kodi add-on rather than the app, but the times I have used the app it's worked fine. however, I have very occasionally encountered the same problem you're having over the years, going back to the iplayer add-on for xbmc on the original xbox. it seems to just be a thing that happens sometimes, possibly when lots of people are trying to use it at the same time.

Thanks for taking the time to respond, seems strange it works prefectly on Fire tv yet even the sideloaded unofficial just freezes at about the same running time ( I have uninstalled that version now as it is no better)
I will contact Nvidia direct as they only seem to reply to praise on twitter.
Anoying as everything else seems ok.
strange. have you tried going into settings>apps, scrolling along to the iplayer app, force closing it, clearing cache and data, then let it reinstall any updates that you removed?

yes tried all that and more thats why I posted to see if was just me that was having trouble.
well, I have encountered that problem, but it's only ever been temporary. have you tried the iplayer add-on for kodi/spmc? I think there's a version of it available in the basic kodi add-on repository.
also is it happening with both wired and wireless network connections, or only wireless?

yes I can use kodi/spmc but I would like the working app and as yours is ok it must be something on my system.
It may be wifi as I only use that but everything else runs fine and it seems to be approx 8 to 9 mins then crashes.
Again thanks for suggestions and I will update if I resolve the issue.
wifi seems the likely cause, if everything else is working well. I shall try it myself with my ethernet cable disconnected and see if I have the same problem.
it's possible that iplayer is buffering inconsistently because it's connected through wifi, and it's being too quick to decide that the stream has failed.
I think it's also defaulting to the highest bitrate stream. maybe try going into the iplayer settings and changing the video settings, so it's not trying to stream in full hd.
and just in general, I recommend having a wired connection whenever possible. the less wireless traffic in your house, the better everything works. ethernet cables for static devices, save your wifi for phones and tablets etc.
Contacted customer care and they went through the obvious which I double checked then they came back with....
"Thank you for the update with the requested details, further to isolate the issue if you have remote paired while accessing BBC iplayer then could you please first un-pair the remote and then run BBC iplayer for sometime and check."
To my surprise I unpaired remote and used standard game controller and...................... it works.
I have just asked them why this resolves the issue, I'll post when updated.
lol, fair enough

Did you get a response about why the remote issues resolves the problem?
I ask as my parents are using the iPlayer app which since the last update and are facing this issue. Are you saying that using TV remotes with CEC enabled is causing this issue?
They have had the issue on two different types of TV (Panasonic and Samsung).
