Does anybody else have problems with watching dropout on there app on there tv? I’m using the Google play version and spent a week going back and forth with there shitty AI customer service bot to keep on repeating information I already tried.

I had to get a refund as I had no way to watch it besides my small ass phone or laptop.

Question is how do you all watch dropout content on your TV? I been really wanting to watch everything but can’t.

Anybody have any suggestions or thoughts?

    Bummer.

    Works on my machine.

    For suggestions - what is working for me is plugging in a real PC as a media center.

    Sorry that’s not more help. I know most people don’t.

    • Factory reset your TV.

    • Put it in app only mode, if that’s an option, to clear out bloat. The setting is quite hidden, but it gets rid of ads an UI spam on my Sony TV

    • If that doesn’t work, sideload an older version of the app, maybe?

    And if THAT doesn’t work, your options are:

    • Buy an external player, like an Android TV box.

    • Download episodes and stream them to your TV over LAN as generic video files. Your TV should have a built in media player for this.

      Isn’t the Chromecast a android box tv? That’s what I have been using for it and reset it multiple times and still never worked.

      Did everything reset it, download and reinstall, cleared all data anr cash. Nothing worked not even changing Internet to something else.

      I kinda just gave up tbh. Other then buying more stuff for this one app, which I can’t afford, just gave up really.

      Thanks for the suggestions though

        Sort of. I’m not surprised the app crashes on a Chromecast.

        You can try reporting that to the app dev.

        And you can definitely just cast the files from a laptop or something though. Or plug it into your TV as an alternative.
