'Sorry, there was an error in the player'

Hi guys, 

Hoping you you may be able to help. When trying to watch something on my nowtv app on my Xbox one it comes up with this error message 'Sorry, there was an error in the player' there is no error number, just that message. I've tried uninstalling it etc I've logged out of my account, reset my internet router, connected to my phone internet, removed the device from my account and adding it again. It works on my other tv and other devices just not my Samsung tv. Anyone have any ideas on how I could fix this? 

 

Thanks in advance 🙂 

Hayley

Hi i've got the same problem with my LG tv.  Did you log out of account first and then delete and reinstall?

I am also having this issue with the app on a Samsung Smart TV, the app is showing as version 5.2.10. Everything I have watched be it a 30 minute tv show or a 2hr movie I get this message seemingly at random, the app gives me the option to go back but the app locks up and I cannot get out of it unless I turn my TV off at the wall.

 

I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app but the issue remains.

Hey, thanks for replying. The version of the app is 3.0.8. Only on one of my Samsung  TVs. It’s not a smart tv or anything and I’ve never had a problem before watching now tv on there. I watch it every day without a fault and about a week ago it came up with that message. Won’t let me watch live tv or anything. I uninstalled it for a few days and just redownloaded now but it’s still not working. When I sign in on my boyfriends Xbox one x in the same house, it works fine.

So just to confirm @Anonymous User, your using your Xbox One when this issue occurs and your connecting your Xbox to a samsung TV? 

Can you check the version of the app on your Boyfriends Xbox for us?

Thanks, 

Karl

I am also getting this on the Xbox one, really frustrating, and considering cancelling my pass. Any thoughts?
