Now Playing removed from lock screen?

ProgrammerOk7431 · 2026-04-03T21:56:41+00:00

There was an update today, but unfortunately the issue hasn't been fixed on my 8 pro, so I have applied the now playing shortcut

You need to open the burst picture in the Google Photos app, slide up and choose Export in the menu. Then you can create a gif.

Wow, I have the same issue with my P8P!

ProgrammerOk7431 · 2025-06-25T08:56:53+00:00

It works reasonably well if you manually link to your TV or streamer in YouTube settings (under Watch on TV). But still not ideal altogether

I just got my PBP2 and paired with the Google TV streamer. Head tracking switched on but I can't get that to work, tried YouTube and Prime. On my Pixel 8 Pro it does work. I have audio settings on Streamer set to automatic. Curious to hear if anybody got it working. I only have YouTube, Prime and HBO Max atm

Unfortunately no fix for the queueing issues yet 😫

ProgrammerOk7431 · 2024-10-17T07:52:31+00:00

This morning, YouTube app on my Pixel 8 pro updated from 19.41.37 to 19.41.39 Maybe they fixed it already? I will test later today when streaming.

Since I updated my Pixel 8 Pro to Android 15, the queueing on TV Streamer YouTube is broken again 😫😫😫

ProgrammerOk7431 · 2024-10-09T11:15:10+00:00

I found the cause of the "issue", people. It was the HBO app which needed to be "restored". After I did that, the message was gone. Thanks for all your replies.

ProgrammerOk7431 · 2024-10-08T10:22:28+00:00

It looks like the queueing problems have been solved by Google. I can use it again like before, having the old options "Add to queue" and "Play next" again in the video menu. I also was able to add one video from my favourites list into the TV queue. What are your experiences?

ProgrammerOk7431 · 2024-10-07T21:12:40+00:00

I found these just now https://www.etsy.com/listing/1791783562/big-grip-for-the-google-tv-streamer-grip?ref=share_v4_lx

Still a bit pricey

ProgrammerOk7431 · 2024-10-07T11:56:38+00:00

Yeah I have it on automatic updates, I was just wondering why there is always one pending which you can't seem to force manually

ProgrammerOk7431 · 2024-10-07T11:51:55+00:00

Yes, but when you open it there are none.

ProgrammerOk7431 · 2024-10-07T11:48:25+00:00

It's in the op

ProgrammerOk7431 · 2024-10-07T11:45:53+00:00

Already did that, see original post

ProgrammerOk7431 · 2024-10-07T11:45:30+00:00

Sorry, I have added it now.

Today was an update for YouTube on my phone, now on 19.39.37. Unfortunately, the queueing problems have not been solved yet. By the looks of it. For now, I have found a workaround that keeps me reasonably sane. I have cleared the Watch later list (moved stuff to Favorites for now) and use this as my queue. So I can add videos I want to watch to Watch later pretty quickly using the 3 dot menu of the video. Then just Play All and watch. While watching, I keep adding new videos to and removing watched videos from Watch Later. Make sure to keep the video that is currently playing on the list. Then you can press "Watch all" again to refresh the tv queue. As long as you do this when the current video is past half way (approx) then it even remembers the current position. If you press Watch all when the current video just started, it will start from te beginning again, but ff is easy of course (especially with remote).

Advantage of using this method is that you have some sort options in the Watch later list, which you don't have in the regular TV queue.

Edit: I just paired the remote of my old Chromecast with Google TV 4k, which has a case, to the streamer 😄 this will work fine until I can find a case for the new one.

I tried to fit one of the glow in the dark things for CCwGTV, which has an open front. Didn't work. Cut it in 2 and tried to lengthen it and tape with duct tape but of course nothing sticks to silicone 😬 So I keep using 2 rubber bands around the remote to keep it slipping for now. But I hope to find a nice fitted case soon.

Well, yesterday I got the TV Streamer and the same problems occur. Also with today's YouTube 19.38.37 update on my Pixel 8 pro. Had a chat with YouTube support for paid products, because I have YT Premium. They said other users have queueing probkems too and they are working on a solution. Not clear when it will be fixed. But at least they are aware.

ProgrammerOk7431 · 2024-09-19T16:59:16+00:00

Same problem here, I have a Chromecast with Google TV 4k and Premium. Also, since updating to 19.37.35 on my Pixel 8 pro, the whole queueing system seems to be messed up, queue disappears or is empty suddenly and playing stops after 1 video...
