Android TV remote app not working

by whatdc

Anyone else having an issue with the Android TV remote app not connecting to their device? My Nexus player has been having difficulty for about 3 weeks now. It can see the Nexus player and tries to connect only to fail within about 2 seconds. Resetting the phone app and rebooting both devices doesn't fix this. Same issue on the iOS app as well. To add insult to injury I lost the remote around the same time and the HDMI CEC from the TV remote is very wonky. If I can't fix this then I will probably give up on the device and move to my fire stick full time.

Edit: Finally had time to do a factory reset. The Nexus player is running great and all issues seem to be resolved.

I have the same issue with Shield TV and a Galaxy S7.

I'm having the same issues with the android tv remote app as well. It appears to be a nexus player issue. The reviews on the android tv app page have a lot of the same complaints with the nexus player.
