I'm having the exact same issue with NowTV on Android with my Chromecast. I am casting from a Samsung S4 mini. I purchased the cinema pass and installed the Nowtv app a couple of weeks ago. Everything is fine until I pause. I get the same behaviour as the others in this thread. In addition to restarting the app, I've found that if I use the location slider I can get it to restart playing the film, although this is far from ideal as it will skip forward or backwards. Is there a fix or any advice on how to resolve this. It doesn't happen on other apps and is quite annoying.
Cheers

Hi Andy.
I've been looking around for a fix on this and so far i've came across a few ideas surrounding the Cached data being held in your storage. However i've already seen that people have uninstalled the app and reinstalled which should solve the Cache problem but it doesnt seem to fix it. I have raised it off to our I.T team who will be looking into this problem and hopefully we will have a fix ASAP.

Just adding a "me too" here. I have to make a note of the time I pause the film and then try to use the position slider to get near to where I was. Android+Chromecast is perfect for me, as it doesn't require a specific box (I already used chromecast for other things), is quiet (the PS4 fan can be distracting in some films), and can be controlled from the phone. Please make pause work properly: it genuinely makes me use NowTv less as it currently stands (2.5hr film without a comfort / drink break?).

@Anonymous User unfortunately only actual chromecast is supported. Nvidia shield has never officially been supported. Some folk have been fortune for it to work. However, I believe that is because the Now system thought it was a Chromecast device. As versions upgrade diffrentials are more obvious so that it no longer seems to be a Chromecast. I would not be surprised if in the future the casting capability of Now is expanded, for example to Miracast or similar to enable use on more devices.

@4268 thanks for the reply mate! 🍻
(as per usual NowTV is the exception to the rule! 😔 ... absolutely every other App works perfectly) 🙈
been a long time user but I'm gonna have to seriously consider cancelling my subscriptions now as it's just one problem / disappointment after the next! 😔
