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.
