Content request not recognized

I'm half way through a season of NCID Los Angeles and when trying to play an episode I get the "oops" message with a sub header of "content request not recognized". No error number or code. Anyone got any ideas?

Hi @Anonymous User 

 

What season and episode number ?

 

Does it happen on all your playback NowTV devices or one particular device only.

 

If you quote the episode number in question i will check on my devices, where it might be an issue at NowTV's end on their server which needs further investigation by NowTV.

Thanks. It's NCIS Los Angeles Season 9 episode 7. This is happening on my Now TV stick. Following your reply I have also checked on the app and get the same error when attempting playback.

Hi @Anonymous User 

 

Season 9 episode 7 played for me on my NowTV box when testing the first five minutes, where i am based in the UK.

 

Are you a UK or Republic of Ireland customer ?

 

Don't know why it doesn't play for you.

 

If you are trying to watch via Continue Watching, perhaps try picking up episode 7 from the search method instead what i did.

 

Other than that maybe try a power down on the Stick and Router.

 

I haven't got access to my NowTV Stick at the moment to check this particular device.

Hi @Anonymous User 

 

I paused Season 9 episode 7 and jumped out back to My Home Screen and after a couple of minutes went back to episode 7 and i got the same error message.

 

What i did to over come this glitch was to search the TV show on my NowTV box and attempted to play episode 7 after getting the message about three or four times by pressing the back button and attempting to play again i managed to get episode 7 working again.

 

So you might have to keep at it pressing the back button and play episode by doing a number of presses back and forth on your NowTV Stick remote to force episode 7 to play.

@Anonymous User @schnapps I reported the problem a number of weeks ago. According to Izzie they're aware that the problem is terminal on some devices and they're working to get the data sent again.

We've just purchased an entertainment pass and tried to watch Saturday Night Live on a Samsung TV through the app and all episodes are saying 'content request not recognised' 

I've tried other series and they are all playing normally.
