Hi,
Some of you may remember me from my "Android Kit Kat 4.4.2 on Motorola Xoom' thread. My Xoom WI-FI now has the latest ROM
4.4.2-20140207-1805+0100-wingray-HOMADE. I just loaded this version about 45 minutes ago. Earlier today I loaded the Netflix Android App
from the Google Play store. I started to play an episode of the Netflix Series House of cards. When the episode started the subtitles (captions) were enabled. So I touched the little icon on the screen and I chose no captions. Once I did that the program continued to play without any sound what so ever. So, I tried another program. I chose a Movie that I had never watched on any TV, Blu-ray player or other device.
The same phenomena occurred. Movie played with subtitles on, I turn them off and the sound stops playing. Yes, I even plugged in Headphones.
This Phenomena does not occur when i play movies through my FIREFOX browser on my PC nor does it occur on my TV or Blu-ray player.
So, I called NETFLIX tech Support. They had me try several things (like use another WIFI network in this case the WIFI hotspot on my phone) to see if the problem was related to my router.
Also, on my WIFI XOOM Tablet the playback of netflix Streaming freezes and the buffering circle spins. This may be also related to issues with the ROM and the Netflix Android app. I do have a Wireless N network and I am sitting in the room where the Router is.
None of these problems occurred with the last GOOGLE approved ROM.
The Netflix tech found my thread from January. It is possible that NETFLIX techs will be posting to this forum. So, has anyone had any issues with NETFLIX using this ROM?
Thank you in advance

I have not experienced any netflix issues with this ROM. I even use it through chromecast. I've tried what you stated and did not experience the issue.

I can confirm the behavior experienced by bigfootmd. Netflix is very sensitive and will stop playing sound. If you exit netflix and restart, sound is back. In addition, the HDMI output freezes and becomes unuseable, independent of the sound problem.
I am running 4.4.2.20140215-1029+0100-wingray-HOMEMADE
Domunus: when you play through Chromecast, your feed goes directly to the Chromecast device and does not pass through your xoom. Your xoom is simply a remote control. This is probably why you do not see the problem. When I cast, I do not see the problem either.
Hi all,
I've been using YouTube on my Chromecast for a while now. I started using it when I had KitKat on my phone and streaming to Chromecast just worked fine. Now, on 5.0.1, it disconnects from Chromecast after 1 minute or so.. (Only happens when YouTube is in background) Chromecast is still playing the video but I can't adjust the volume or change the video anymore. I'll need to reconnect for that..
I don't have this problem on my nexus 7 2013 running official stock 5.0.1.
Does anyone have similar problem? Or does anyone know a solution?
I have three OPOs which will play Netflix just fine, and cast non-Netflix video from the phone to the TV, via Netgear P2TV dongle or strain to my Samsung TV. However, I can not find a solution to cast Netflix from the OPO to the TV! My G3 works just fine, either directly to the TV or via the NetGear. Both phones are on KK 4.4.4s
I've searched a bit for solutions about XDA and other locations, and see very little about this, and no answers. Does anyone have success casting Netflix, and if so is there something additional/different than standard casting that I need to do?
Thank you.
The TV works fine with another phone but not with my phone. Mine use Lineage 14.1 and Cast didn't see the TV. Although if I use Youtube app to cast, it works. But I don't want to just cast Youtube videos, I want to project my phone to my TV. Anyone can help me fix this? I've already tried some others miracast/cast screen/... but got no luck except Youtube.
I'm having casting issues in a few different scenarios...
Vanced will not cast at all.
Wired in will not mirror.
Yet, streaming apps will cast via wifi with no problems.
I know I can try mirror apps or use a screen beam but I feel like I should be able to just plugin.
Anyone else? Any tips?
