Altice One app - Not Playing Automatically

bloopeanut
Underground

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?

@bloopeanut  This issue is usually specific to the network you're using to access Pandora, or due to an error on the device itself.

First make sure your device has the latest firmware by checking for a new update. If an update is available, try loading Pandora again once the update is complete.

If you're still having the same problem, then please try a few standard network troubleshooting steps:

  • Try connecting directly via an Ethernet cable rather than using Wi-Fi (if you have this option on your device), and see if that helps.
  • Try rebooting your modem and router and restarting the device.
  • Try removing and re-adding the app (if this is possible on your device).

You can also contact the manufacturer directly to troubleshoot your specific device and settings.

Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.

I am having this same issue described by "bloopeanut" in this thread for 4 days now - Pandora works fine on my desktop but not on the Altice app on any of my 5 TVs.  I called Optimum Cable/Altice One and they said it was Pandora's issue and not theirs.  Optimum gave me the Pandora customer service number to resolve.  

I need help.  how do I fix this???

Alyssa thank you for your quick response!

They are both Samsung tvs ( not smart tvs and are at least 5 years old.)

They have been working fine for about 10 months since i moved and installed altice one.

As of a few weeks ago it stopped advancing when playing any stations on pandora app.

Altice one has the pandora app on there box along with a few others like netflix.

I listen on echo dot no problem, my phone,  lap top no problem,  or in my car no problem.

So not sure how to remedy this problem.

Are you thinking it is an issue with the altice interface. I have tried rebooting to no avail.

Regards,

Mlou613

You can add my name to the problem. I have a Samsung smart tv, fairly new (within the last year).

I'm wondering the same because I'm also having this issue. I'm using the Altice One on an older Samsung TV (not a smart TV) with Optimum.
