Google TV: Watch Movies & TV

I get this notification every time I try to download a tv show episode or a movie, “The operation couldn’t be completed. (CoreMediaErrorDomain error -16840 - HTTP 401: Unauthorized)”. I have closed and reopened the app, deleted and redownloaded, and re-logged in to the service. I own all of these episodes and movies, why can’t I download them! Please fix this issue.

I like this a lot

Since the remote function is no longer available this app is useless….

Its so fun!!

It would be 5/5 if the control was always present.

Why do I have to keep closing the app 5 times just to get the remote on the app to work? Like what’s the point anymore?

It was great the first few seconds, then it just kicks you off of it in the middle of you using it, making you have to repair it 1000xs before being able to pick a movie/ show and press play. Very annoying. But when you lost your remote Beggars CANT BE CHOOSERS HUH!?

It keeps not wanting to play movies I want to watch!

this is absolute garbage. it doesn’t work. i can’t find my remote and i need to shut off my tv and i can’t because i don’t have my remote so i downloaded this, YES i have a google tv. it just says only purchased contact can be cast on this device. what in the world does that even mean ? no code even shows on my tv. yes it’s the same network. yes my bluetooth is on. yes it says it connected to the tv. NO REMOTE SHOWS. Only tells me to stream a show , but only purchased. there is NO FIX. NO REMOTE SHOWS ON MY PHONE . Oi looked it up and that isn’t even an issue that’s been dealt with by anyone else before. apparently no one else has this problem. this app does not contain the remote it says it does. i have to download a random app and pay a monthly fee to get one. ridiculous.

While it’s amazing to be able to just grab my phone whenever I can’t find the remote to my Hisense TV, there’s a couple issues that are cramping my style. Picture this: you are trapped in a house with an energetic toddler who loves very, very long YouTube videos. Perhaps someday, YouTube will offer a “play from beginning” button. But that glorious day is not today. So you are resigned to spamming the back arrow on the Google TV app like you are speed-running an arthritis diagnosis. I am BEGGING you to please adjust the sensitivity on the rewind function of the back arrow. The rate of speed you have to tap in order to accelerate the rewind speed is so absurd that I didn’t even know the app had this functionality for a very long time! This isn’t a Smash Bros tournament, and I fear the friction of button spamming will overheat my phone if my fingers don’t fall off first. Seriously, I challenge anyone reading this to get 80% through a multi-hour-long YouTube video (may I suggest Jenny Nicholson?) and then try to rewind it as fast as you can. The other issue I am experiencing (and what pushed me over the edge to writing this): lately if I am playing audio on my phone at a low volume and I allow it to continue playing while I swipe over to this app to use the remote, my phone’s volume will skyrocket to like 95%, and it’s horrible. TV volume remains unchanged. New migraine unlocked. I hope this will get fixed soon please, sending all my love to Google’s support and dev teams, thank you so much! 💖
