Live TV broken for TV+ on AndroidTV (Sony Bravia)
Based on the recent 1-star reviews in the Google Play store I am far from the only one experiencing this. Since Tuesday of this week (Feb 14, 2023) live TV has not functioned at all - restarting a sh...
Hi Everyone, an update is made today to address the Sony TV Live TV playback issue. Please ensure you are updated to the latest app version 1.6.2.0. Please note the app store may take a couple of days to rollout the update to everyone.
Just for poops-n-giggles I checked to see if an update was available on my TV - lo and behold, 1.5.7.103 of Telus TV+ is now available for my device (was 1.5.4.103), though curiously it lists the date as Feb 15. Definitely wasn't available to me over the last 6 days -- is this a staged/phased rollout thing by the Play store?
Anyway this update has actually made things worse - now, tuning to a channel shows about 1/5 of a second of a video flash and no audio, then the scrubber jumps ahead and the screen goes black. Previously I'd get about 1/3 of a second of audio and video (usually enough for 2-4 words of dialog from a commercial, for example) before the time skipped ahead and the screen went black. After a TV reboot and launch of the TV+ app, I get about 6 seconds of audio and video before it dies. Tuning channels and loading the guide feels snappier, but the video stream now only flashes for 1/5 of a second without audio when changing channels.
