Pandora for TV loads but intermittently will not play

Cifaro507 — Sun, 24 May 2026 15:18:40 GMT

Recently my TV will load the app and show my collection, and even appear to be playing, but the music simply will not play. The only solution I have found is to remove and reinstall the app (or come back later where maybe it will play, maybe it won't.) The TV has worked well with Pandora for years until the last couple of months.

Any ideas?

Hi @Cifaro507 , welcome to the Pandora community!

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble listening. Can you tell me a bit more about your TV?

What is the make and model?
What happens when you open Pandora?
Is there an error message (if yes, what exactly does it say)?

Let me know.

The television is a Sony Bravia and it has been working well with Pandora for years. I used to get regular Pandora without commercials through a Verizon FIOS "widget", but after an update this changed to Pandora for TV. Even then the app would play just fine, only with commercials.

Recently when I start the Pandora for TV app it starts up normally reverting to the last station played and even naming the song it's about to play, but sometimes it just will not start playing. Other times it starts right up as normal. There is no rhyme or reason to when it plays and when it doesn't.

I tried exiting the app and coming back in, but that has no effect. Then I have removed and reinstalled the app, and usually it works fine after doing so. I really enjoy your product and hope we can find a true solution to this issue. Thank you.

Oh and there is no error message displayed.
