Has anyone successfully streamed their movies from a home server to their DNA while on 4G? I have no problems streaming to my Galaxy S3 and Ipad while away from home, but "no go" on my DNA. ARRRRGH! fyi, I use both Plex and Synology Video apps to stream.
My DNA will play em fine while at home and connected to my network. Bone stock DNA.
Other than that my DNA works great. Maybe i got a lemon? Im still under the 2weeks return period?
Anyone wanna try streaming on their DNA via the free synology video app?(I can send you my server log in and password)
I can give it a go for you, had my DNA for a few weeks and curious about 4g streaming. Pm me!

My solution; I returned the DNA and went back to old faithfull (Galaxy S3)
M7 is right around the corner, so that might be my next phone.

Is the difference from music and music beta that you can just listen to your music stored online or something.

yes, music beta is a new(er) service by google, where you install an application on your computer (or whereever you hvae your music stored) and then it stores those tracks (or maybe just track info) in the cloud so you can basically retrieve it from and play from any device that has access to the internet.
EDIT: the android app is a new player that looks like it will just supercede the old player, the new player will play local files on the device, as well as files you have synced to the cloud

As a big YouTube watcher I am so tired of this crap. I mean jeez I'm on pretty fast LTE and all I get is constant buffering. I can't watch an HD view for more then 30 seconds without it buffering for 5-10 seconds. And if I turn the HD off the picture looks so horrible I can barely make out what I'm watching. Anything that can be done to improve this?

I was beginning to thunk that it was my internet. Even when I use TubeMate to download the videos before I watch them (which I usually do), I've noticed that the downloads run a LOT slower. I'm talking from 5MBps to 200KBps.

Yea I think the YouTube app is having problems. Or YouTube itself is having issues.
I was on a fast wifi connection and could not even get normal non hd videos to play without ridiculous amounts of waiting and buffering. Forget hd, those just kept buffering and buffering on WiFi.
Probably youtubes servers

Yeah the app is crap. I have the same issues on my nexus 7. What i do now is put the browser as default for playing videos. So now when i click on a link it opens up youtube from the browser and works flawless.

As of today Youtube isn't running so hott on my desktop either just keeps skipping using chrome. I don't know if it has to do with my uverse or youtube servers. The funny thing is I just used the app on my phone and it played fine finally lol.
I think youtube was having problems a few days ago, I know I read something about server issues around that time.

I didn't literally means a desktop computer. I only meant a PC. However, I tried for myself, and my laptop buffered during an 8 second clip. That's YouTube servers, not our devices or our Internet providers.

Youtube (Google) buffers the streaming a lot in the past few years and getting worse. They are known to be prioritizing traffic lately which will result in buffering on YouTube Android, Windows, Linux, Ipod, Ipad etc etc etc.. Nothing to do with your connection, at least what you are referring to and nothing Sprint can do to help unfortunately.
On the YouTube video u have 1 bar of wifi and on the speedtest ur on 4g (lucky btw). Armrest ur YouTube works mines been busted it just stops buffering completely at 50 secs but during those 50 sec it doesn't buffer.
Edit just tried YouTube and it seems like the problem fixed its self it doesn't stop at 50 and I don't get any buffering at all

So, for me, I can only play a partial song before it cuts out. Everything else seems to work fine.
I've called LG, and Verizon - they've never heard of the problem (big surprise ) . I'll get a hold of Google too but for now, let's try to figure this out.
My guess is a flaky Wifi connection. What is everyone else's opinion based on experience with the LG G2 and Chromecast, and what should we do?
Possible fix in post 23 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49363241

Google's problem then. Netflix would use way more bandwidth streaming music. Chromecast in my opinion is still pretty beta, and new updates cone about once a month, so maybe they'll fix it.

I see your point, and you're not wrong but...
It works flawlessly on every other device I've used(sgs3, og incredible, iphone 4s, iphone 5,pc...etc.). This leads me to believe that something is screwy with the g2. Just looking for a meantime solution until this is worked out.
Edit-
Also, according to Verizon and LG this isn't a problem. So, maybe not even on their radar. Going to get to Google tonight but I'm guessing I'll get the same song and dance - "not our problem, call lg" or/ "not our problem, call Verizon".

Surround or HDMI? I don't have my G2 yet because my first one was a lemon, so I can't check for you...
Have you tried streaming from your PC? There is an extension for chrome that will cast a tab from your browser to chromecast, you could try that.

HBO Go, Netflix and others work fine. The only thing that doesn't work right it Google Music which sucks because I am trialing the pay GM with Spotify to see which I want. May have to just keep Spotify on ipad and stream thru Apple TV instead.
I have two G2s in the house. I hardly have songs or videos drop out mid track, but I do have a continuity issues. Sometimes it will play the next track, other times I have to manually forward to the next track. Not sure if G2 issue or CC issue.

I have had that issue with any music app. Pandora slacker spotify and play music. I think it's a g2 issue. Ironically I haven't had any issues when playing on the chromecast.
Maybe the g2 cuts playback thinking your no longer using the app and it needs to conserve battery?

I tried another app from the play store that keeps Wifi awake while the screen is off and I got 4 songs to play in a row before it disconnected. This is a record for me, but not a fix. My Galaxy s3 will play for hours on end with no interruption.

G2 issue. LG customer service blames it on Google. Verizon blames it on LG. Google doesn't say ****.

Maybe if we can get a logcat or two together of the Chromecast disconnect issue, it could help zero in on the cause. I don't think I'll have time until probably Sunday...
The next step would be to find someone to interpret said logcat.

I use google music and songza with my g2 and chromecast with no problems.
What is your wifi (g, n, ac) and 2.4 or 5 ghz?
2.4 ghz wireless N. You know, I have a ton of networks in range of my home network. Maybe the router is nuking the connection looking for an open channel.
