Altice One app - Not Playing Automatically

[bloopeanut]

On my Altice One app on my TV, the music used to start playing automatically after I select a channel, and continue without intervention until I stop it or choose something else.  Now, when I start a channel, I see the song information but it doesn't start playing.  I notice that in the slider that usually goes from "0:00" to the length of the song, where it would normally show the song length, I see dashes "--:--".  If I press the pause button and then the play button, the song will play and the dashes will be replaced by the song length, as normal.  However, when it goes to the next song, and each succeeding song, the same behavior happens each time.  This happens no matter which channel I select.  How do we restore the automatic play?

We are also having the same issue .. I can replicate it on my desktop with Chrome, but there is no problem when using Edge.

@EB_NY To clarify, are you also running into this issue with the Altice One app?

Or is this only happening on your computer?

Let me know.

It happens with the Altice One APP, AND with Chome on my desktop.

Hi @EB_NY! Thanks for the follow up. I've added you info to our ticket. Just one more clarifying question, is the Altice-One App on your TV or another device like a tablet?

In the meantime, I’ve enabled a trace on your account to help us better understand what’s happening. Can you please try the following network troubleshooting:

1. Shut down your device completely;
2. Unplug your modem and router, wait one full minute, and then plug them back in;
3. Wait five more minutes to allow the modem and router to fully boot back up;
4. Turn your device back on and try Pandora again.

Thanks for your help.

You can add me to the list. This has been going on since October for me and I saw this thread before never expecting it to take this long to fix.

I am having the same issue!

[Dane2277]

Have the same problem. Rebooting the Altice box doesn’t help. Altice rep says that this is not their issue and the signal is fine. Works fine on tablet and phone. Add me to the email with the solution.

I have not heard back form anyone concerning this  auto play of pandora on the altice app on the tvs in my home.

I see plenty of others having the same problem with Altice connection. have the engineers come up with anything ? It always worked in the past, so it is frustrating?

I have rebooted several times no help. I have logged on and off pandora no help. I do not know how would take the app off of altice on and put back on as it comes already pre-programed.

As for now i just do not use it unless on phone or car or laptop.

Please up date me if there is one.

Thanks Mlou613

Same issue here with the Altice Pandora app. I have Vizio smart tv's with Pandora factory installed from vizio (not the altice pandora app) some tv's are wifi, some are ethernet connected. The vizio pandora app plays fine on all my tv's. when i close Vizio's pandora and open pandora through altice i get the same issue as others. definitely an altice issue

Pandora and Altice 1 - No longer have continuous play

I no longer have continuous play on Pandora on both my Samsung and Sharp TV's. Neither tv is a smart tv. House is wireless with no ethernet cables. It was working fine until recently. I see that others are having the same problem. Pandora works fine on my Samsung phone and on my Dell laptop. I see others on the forum have the same problem. Have your engineers come up with a resolution? Thanks.

Still not working, I guess Pandora is still working on the problem? I have rebooted my Altice box, uninstalled and reinstalled the app. It simply doesn't play. It opens and shows a song loaded, but then nothing.
