Hi all,
So I just flashed the 4.3 ROM by dreamcwli, and graphical glitches aside it seems to work perfectly - except for Google Play Movies, which is a huge part of what I used my tablet for. Unfortunately movies will not play on it, and will just give me the spinning circle but eventually tell me that "There was a problem while playing." This happens on multiple movies on multiple accounts, but does not happen when I play it via Chromecast. If I try to download the movie and play it, it gives me a similar message with a "-2000" error code at the end. Any tips? Thanks everyone!

Hey guys, I wanted to see who all here has picked up a chrome cast and what your thoughts are on it so far?
I really dig it, quick connection and ability to play things with no noticeable degradation or lag. And with HBO Go and Hulu Plus both coming soon it is going to be really nice.
One issue though that I have found is that the previous version of Google Play Movies allowed you to play locally stored videos on your device through the app. With the update to work with Chromecast this option is removed even when trying to do it on your device only so you have to use an external app such as the gallery or MX player etc.
Any word or people working on creating a cracked version of google movies or a work around to allow other apps to chromecast?
Read somewhere that clockworkmod and someone else have done it or are really close. Check Chromecast development

Koushik Dutta is still working on it. Still in beta and will self destruct after 2 days but it is a amazing start

This may be irrelevant now, and if so I apologize for the waste of time, but I have found that if you open the video files in a Chrome tab, they can be cast that way. At times it can be a little inconvenient, but I think the video/audio is pretty good.
Whenever I attempt to load a video for an app in the play store I get "Connection to server lost". Its particularly strange because I am able to view movie/tv previews in the play store, youtube, and other streaming video without an issue. The problem seems to be specific to videos for Apps and Games viewed through the play store. Not a huge deal but still kinda annoying. Anyone else seeing this problem?
Btw I applied the OTA and rooted with towelroot.

Yeah I'm having the exact same problem on mine. Good to know it's not just me. Hopefully they fix it soon.
same issue here. the video starts to play after i hit retry a few times. not too concerned with it right now but I'm hoping they fix
I got it too, guess it will be fixed in the next update. New toy, new bugs.
Same issue here as well. I also can't play YouTube videos from within other apps (Tapatalk, Reddit Sync). They give me the same error. I can play them if I open them in the YouTube app though.
Same here.
Hey everyone!,
I just got my One Plus One today and I was setting up Google Play Movies (Stock ROM, No Root) and whenever I try to play a movie (regardless of being HD or not) it doesn't play. It just shows the spinning circle. When I try to download a movie that is HD, it shows the download to only be around 353MB and gets stuck at 0%?
Can anyone help me out?
Thank you!

If you are talking about playback, yep the build in video player is glitchy. Try VLC beta on the play store.
Awesome phone so far. I've had it about 2 weeks. This is the first real issue I've had:
When I try to play a video in a Google+ post I get "Can't Play Video". Embedded Youtube videos in Google+ work fine though. When I try to play a video in my Google Photos collection, I'll get "Video not found." and then a few seconds later, "Can't play video." The exception to this is videos that I've recorded with this phone and backed up to Google Photos. Those play fine but the phone can't play any of my older videos.
All the Google+ and Photos videos play fine from my old Android phone and my PC. Any ideas?
So far, I've tried clearing the app data and cache on Google+ and Google Photos. I also tried enabling Nu Player in Developer Options.
Edit: I just tried using Chrome instead of the Google Photos app and the videos played fine. For the Google+ videos, Chrome can't play them, but Firefox can.
I discovered the same "can't play video" issue in G+ videos but YouTube ones play fine - I have reported this numerous times to Google and I also tried switching from awesome player to Nu Player in dev options - the only solution so far I've found is to go to Apps and uninstall G+ updates to the stock version - then they play perfectly again - I assume this is a glitch in the 5.0.2 lollipop version, so hopefully we get 5.1 ota or Marshmallow by Christmas as I've seen rumored, I have the carrier unlocked 6045i which I put my $30 a month Tmobile sim in.
I also noticed there seems to be no Minutes used section under mobile and whereas I can set the date range for billing in mobile data, I can't set the wifi usage date range, haven't tried any root yet as I'm hoping for ota to solve these minor bugs, otherwise love the phone also.
Fixed with today's OTA update!

Have you tried clearing playstore data and rebooting? Also make sure you have sufficient storage left on android data partation.

Hmm, nothing in particular comes to mind, but I did find this related Google forum thread: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/calendar/GzAJgihvQpo
That and, wat warvevo said.
I've been hunting around for answers since I've been getting this same Google Play -8 error since I reinstalled my ROM. Previously, I'd had MX and MX Pro both installed - great for playing music behind podcasts and audiobooks using the multiple instances! Now when I have one installed, Google Play goes to install the other and throws this code. As the workaround seems to be to install an older version first and then let Google Play auto-update it - which is what happened before, I'd installed the then-current MX version which Google Play later updated automatically - it would seem that the new MX Player updates are having difficulty avoiding conflict with MX Pro. I can only seem to get one or the other installed at a time.
That's exactly what I found. Had both players installed and suddenly had problems even though they had been working fine in the past. Deleted one of players and then it worked fine. Thank you for your reply.
