Netflix no longer works? - Google Home

Is it just me who has problems with starting Netflix from my Google home mini? It worked a few days ago but not anymore.
Whatever show I say it says the complete shows name (it seems sure about what show I'm referring to) and that it isn't available or cannot be played right now.
I live in Sweden where netflix is available but not Google home but I had no problem a few days ago.

HTC Clock and Maps show wrong Location, Market App not installing....After Root.

I just rooted my TB last nite with no problems. Once the phone boots up the HTC clock and my Maps apps show the wrong location. Also, I had purchased Moola! Platinum Edition which I bought before I rooted and showed up fine in the Market Place, now it doesn't show up and I can't install it! Any help would be appareciated! Sorry if this is the wrong forum to drop this, I'm new to the forums.
Are you connected to WiFi by any chance? When I am, my location shows my old house even though I haven't loved there in months.
For your app, it may be because the Thunderbolt is new, a different resolution, or due to it being on HTC.

Problem fixed. I apparently missed a step in the root process. I went back and re-rooted and now everything is fine.

[Q] Installed Apps Blank???? - HELP???

I am setting up two Nexus 7's I purchased for my kids and receiving mixed results.
1) Both tablets connected to wifi fine.
2) Both tabets completed the system update without a problem and are running kernel version 3.1.10-g22b4fcd, Build number JOP40D.
However, when I go to the play store to update apps,
Tablet A lists all the apps INSTALLED and I was able to update several apps
Tablet B does not show a single app under the tab INSTALLED.
I called Google support and they are telling me it could take a day for this screen to udpate. After I hung up the phone, I noticed that the back of the problem tablet appears to once had a white sticker near the SN sticker while the working tablet does not have this.
These are Christmas gifts and I am debating on returning the problem tablet for a replacement. Does anyone have words of wisdom they can share with me? Am I over-reacting?
Appreciate the help.
So its been on overnight and still no apps are listing. Anyone have suggestions on how to fix this. I've already tried a factory reset and the results are the same.

Go under settings apps and find the play store clear data cache and everything in there. Then open play store and see if it fixes it. I never heard this problem but this is how we fixed some ROMs on the bolt when the play satire would say error can't download the selected app. So worth a try and its weird that Google said it could take days. I think I would call back and demand to talk to someone higher on the food chain. Hope this works as would suck not having a gift working on Xmas morning.

Chromecast suddenly stopped playing Showbox links

Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if there's a known reason for it or solution to fix it.
A couple of days ago, my Chromecast quit playing links from Showbox and I can't figure out why. I used to get a show or movie here or there that Avia would say isn't compatible but now it's suddenly showing the error for literally everything I click, even episodes I successfully played a couple of days ago. It's not a shoebox issue because Avia will play the video until I hit the cast button.
Thinking it was my phone or Avia, I tried my wife's phone and Allcast with no success. I also thought maybe a Chromecast OTA broke compatibility, but I'm still on 15250. I even tried a factory rest on the Chromecast and wiping data on the apps involved.
I'm just out of ideas at this point. Anyone know what could be going on?

That app isn't talked about here and a Mod will lock or delete this thread.

Sorry but showbox isn't allowed on xda because it violates copyrights and posting about it may get you and xda in trouble.

It has never happened to me for that length of time before, three days is a long time. Are you sure that you have changes the listing and saved it in the developer console?
for me it's 3 hours maximum
In my case the same, at most 3 or 4 hours.
me too its not working

There might be a problem with Google Play Store, not on your end. There seems to be some non-programming issue between your app and Google. The Google needed to work on manual intervention to get the updates running again. Try to contact the Google Playstore and it will get back to you.

P20 Pro Chromecast - Does it work for people?

Hi, I've been trying to chromecast for the last few days. I came from a Nexus 6p which worked 100% with chromecast. If i use the web browser and try to cast from a video channel, it never connects to my chromecast or TV (with chromecast built in). I've tried the mirroring option but it never finds a chromecast. I've downloaded Google Home, that seems to have a bug where i can't login to my google account from my P20 Pro.
I've looked online and on here and haven't seen any other posts on it. It would be good to test. I am on the Dual Sim Three UK 8.1.0.102 (C782) variant.
Thanks
It has worked flawlessly using local cast app.
I've always found Google home glitchy.

Works flawlessly for me. I've had the P20 Pro since release and I've never had a problem using a Chromecast, although I did recently factory reset my Chromecast, so that may have fixed any issues.
I use Chromecast several times a day, and haven't noticed anything odd.
I'm using Chrome browser to play web-videos and the Google Home app to mirror the screen.
Haven't used the built-in cast/mirror feature, but that has never worked reliably for me on any device
Thanks all, i wonder what is happening here. Even the Google home app isn't working. It's like an authentication error in the app. Chromecast doesn't connect to either of my chromecast devices. Works fine on my old phone still. I wonder if it's my firmware. I am on .102 which i know is really old. Waiting for Three/Huawei to update...

Chromecast mostly works for me. The only thing that doesn't is volume controls from screen off. Apart from that, and the few normal Chromecast glitches, it works well.
I'm casting NFL Gamepass from my P20 Pro to my Nvidia Shield as I type this, it's worked flawlessly whenever I've tried since I got my phone (mine is also dual SIM from Three).
This works very sporadically for me, often from apps that cast (excluding Netflix and YouTube which have a different mechanism for Chromecast discovery) it's as if the refresh devices button doesn't really trigger a proper refresh.
The Google home app often doesn't show my Chromecasts but if I keep it open and wait maybe 5 minutes they'll eventually show.
Anyone seen anything like this?
I had problem with NBA game time app, it didn't display the cast icon after update of the device to .107 but iwas probably due to the implementation of an old. Chromecast API from NBA app itself. After NBA has updated the app is working perfectly
I streamed YouTube to a chromecast this evening without any problem, worked like expected...
No issues here, sounds more like a network issue to me.

Have you guys tried it with apps other than youtube or netflix?
Those work fine for me but they use a different discovery method, see here;
actually... I can't post links but googling "netflix different chromecast discovery" and going to the google developers discovery troubleshooting confirms this.
Network is also ruled out for me as it's still working flawlessly on my old phone and my wife's phone.
I cast all the time from Plex so it's super annoying not being able to find the chromecasts for 10 minutes and the closing apps/G Home, rebooting etc trying to trigger a discovery.
Cheers,
Jon
Oh a further update to my theory of "the refresh/scan isn't working as it should"
I have a CC that turns off when the TV is turned off and this sometimes appears in the list of devices for hours after it's been turned off, like overnight.
I've tried a factory reset but it didn't help, it's across multiple apps so maybe something to do with discovery in the android discovery software itself?
I wish all the apps just used their own discovery like YT/NF.... grumble, grumble...
Further update...
I'm 90% sure this is due to some overly aggressive power saving. I've also noticed the BBC news widget doesn't update as much as it should.
Today I tested resetting a Chromecast and attaching it as a new one. Didn't work. Needed to use another device to get it set up with Google home. Not ideal. Be interesting to see if anyone else can attach a new Chromecast after factory resetting one if anyone fancies some troubleshooting for me?
Go on, be a pal.
Cheers,
Jon
Works flawlessly in streaming from playmovies to casting the screen
I stream from plex or YouTube to a chromecast without problem
Damn... Maybe it's just some devices or a firmware issue then.
I'm on 8.1.0.103, have you a later one? Might be stuck waiting for an update

I'm on .107 firmware, I never tried older ones.
Im also experiencing some problems with chromecast. Basically, some apps, like spotify, sometimes does not show my chromecasts under devices available.
After some tests, I think it is something related to the wifi strength and wifi+. If I disable the sim data, magically all the chromecasts around my house are correctly detected.
