This appears to be a similar issue on other devices as well. When you press Playall on an album in google music store, it skips all songs and doesnt play sound. On amazon mp3 store, it just doesnt load the mp3 samples and refreshes the same page. I want to listen to a song before I buy it. On the shield portable everything works, so the issue is with the shield tablet software. Its like it needs a plugin or something.
My wifi is 130mbps after update, I have no cracked edges, found a Fintie tablet cover on amazon for 7 bucks. All is well but now I just need an update to fix the problem with the OTG Y cable not charging simultaneously when connected to ethernet or anything else. I would buy this tablet again.
Glad I'm not the only one... Google Play App Videos are not playing either.
Videos within Google NewsStand also don't play.
Can't get SoundCloud embeds to play either ?
It's a know issue, which they are working for the next ota.

So far, i have been using iMediashare off the android marketplace to play my music across wifi to my xbox 360. But its very unstable. Sometimes 3 songs play then some fail somewhere, others it plays like a champ. Is there a way to just plug this damn thing into the usb port on the 360 to play it that way? i have tried both media player and mass storage options when connection but its a no go. perhaps one of you out there has a great solution available. sans usb stick. i suppose i could burn a mp3 cd with a crap load of songs and then rip them to the harddrive but good lord, with the amount of music i have, itd take all day lol.
I use MyNet to stream audio files from my QNAP NAS.
I can see all tracks without a problem. I can play my tracks too, but only just one.
MyNET plays only the track I select but does not automatically continue to the next one and so forth.
Any ideas why it will not play a complete album/folder/playlist?
I also have the same problem. If this program can't play multiple songs, playlists etc to my TV then is there am alternative.
I've just bought the Infinity and it has exactly the same problem. I was initially stunned that I could use it to stream music from my QNAP onto my TV, however only allowing one track at a time is pointless. It works fine if you play to the tablet, but fails multiplay when sending to another device.
This would be my most used app if this worked. Any ideas?
It's exciting to see that people have streamed everything from supported games to unsupported games and even PS2 and GC emulators. I have yet to see any mention of streaming something like KMPlayer.
My question is can you do it in some way? I have a very extensive multiple TB collection of all sorts of videos and media, and yes I know I can always transfer things to SD card etc to watch on the shield but the ability to just be able to load up anything anywhere (Thanks to the people that setup instructions to be on outside networks over VPN) and watch my movies with no hassle or even connect it to other peoples TVs would be amazing to me.
In the past I've tried this several different ways but it was never fast enough and even when it was sometimes Soft subs wouldn't work and a no stress solution to that may be possible with the shield.
I haven't tried streaming any media players, but I have a feeling that the controls might present a challenge.
I installed Plex last though and was very impressed. I already had a Plex server running on my Synology NAS, though, so no server setup was necessary.
Plex allows you to stream local or remotely if you set up a myPlex account. If you have the PlexPass as well, you can sync shows to microSD to watch offline.
I imagine XBMC for Android should work fine and mount network drives.
XBMC works for me so far.
I'm using es file explorer and MX video player for a quick to launch streaming media setup. Setup a couple favorites in es file and way you go. From home screen to movie folder I can be there in less than 10 seconds.
I've output HDMI to large TVs and the streaming is excellent.
Well my shield should be arriving Tuesday which I'm extremely excited for. Tried XBMC on my computer and love it not sure why I've never tried this before.
Here's to hoping the audio sync is good when connecting remotely
Try Dice Player, it has SAMBA support, so just need to enter network path and password and you good to go.
I just got my shield and I tried out XBMC I'm not sure if its supposed to be this way but the controller doesn't work with the program and audio isn't being transferred to my shield.
Another problem I have with regular streaming is there seems to be a slight audio delay and I am running the latest shield update (51 i think)

What types of video files can I play on Shield?

whatever video you can find an app to play. VLC supports most media types (video and audio including formats you probably won't come across) plus it has the most awesome beta software warning ever when you launch it.
I have 2tb WD Live setup on my network. I use the wd2go app and can stream videos from home anywhere I have internet. It works great. You can also download movies to your device then upload them to your network.
I use the Archos video player app on the Shield. Can stream anything I can throw at it from my local network
Hi,
I've got Nexus 5 with stock ROM. I can't stream from Google Play Music to Chromecast. I immediately get 'Could not play' message once I switch output to Chromecast. Plays fine on the phone itself. I also can stream to Chromecast just fine from computers at home/Chrome browser and I can also stream from my HTC Desire HD using that very Google Play Music. Something's wrong with Nexus 5 setup or Google Play Music itself. Any clues? Thanks!

Not sure....works just fine on my N5 to Chromecast.
Hmm... What's strange is that I can stream YouTube from my N5 to Chromecast fine as well, it's just GPM. The only thing that I did to the phone is rooted and flashed Dalvik and Bionic patches. Trying to troubleshoot, I flashed stock Dalvik back, but it did not help. OK, perhaps the next step would be to go clean and flash the whole stock ROM and wipe everything.
brianfields33, are you on stock ROM? Thanks.
This may seem obvious but have you updated everything on Google Play? The Play Services (I think that's it) needs to be latest version. Probably Google Music, too.
I have an LG G2 and have no issue casting GM.
Also, are these local files you are trying to stream? You cannot stream local files from GPM, only ones you actually have in your GPM library. You'll have to use other apps if you want to play local music files.
kimtyson - yes, everything was updated to the latest versions.
korockinout13 - I mentioned that I can play music without streaming. So, this is not type of a file issue. And I actually was streaming from the GPM library.
I figured the issue. I did a factory reset and got GPM streaming working. Then I started adding my apps. It appeared that Kaspersky Antivirus blocks streaming from GPM. That's strange since the same config works fine from HTC Desire HD. Anyway, it works now and I know where to dig further. Thanks all for replies!
Just want to make sure im not losing my mind. I tried playing individual songs in googles music play store. Im logged into my account. If i tap on a song the play icon for a split second looks like it took the tap, but no sound or music comes out of the speakers. I can play video movies and games have sound. Anyone else have this problem. Is this some kind of bug. I have till end of october to return it. I may have to get the nexus 9. Anyone know if the 9 will have the gamepad controller like the shield, just an aside.
