Nexus Player keeps freezing while streaming

by weathermancam

I just got a nexus player a few days ago but yesterday I noticed that whenever I tried to stream videos whether it be on YouTube, Google Play Movies & TV, or Netflix it would freeze at about 5 minutes into the video then restart. Any ideas on why this is happening? The only thing I've done out of the ordinary is sideload Mobdro and Showbox. I'm likely just going to factory reset it because I can't watch anything without it freezing.

100% defective. I've never had mine freeze.

Just discovered that even when i leave it sitting on the home screen it freezes and restarts without me even touching anything. Must have a rogue app or something, I'll reset it and hopefully that fixes it

Reset it and it froze on the remote pairing process so I think I have a defective unit. I got it from Amazon, is there anything I can do?
