I used the previous version all the time on my Samsung tablet. Since the new updated version I cannot play any TV from the Guide. I either get this error "Required output protections are not active" or it hangs. I cannot find any explanation or workaround on your sites. I updated the app today. Is there any workaround? Can I no longer use your app from this device? It works on my phone. Anyway to get the old version back?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi All, thank you to everyone's efforts! We implemented a performance toggle that addresses this playback error. If your device encounters this error, it will ask you to go to settings to turn on "playback performance", and after restarting the app, VOD or live should play as expected. Thanks again for everyone's help in resolving this issue.
Please note, this toggle is intended to address specific video playback issues, if video playback already works properly on your device, then there is no need to use this toggle. However, if this toggle doesn't address the specific error you're seeing, you'll be prompted again with a specific error message and error code. Please report the full message and we will continue to work on improving this feature.

Hi @KHR @Dococ @Harrisclh
Here is my Update.
I created Ticket 4321055 on 2Dec. I was told I would get a call back in a couple days. Called Dec 6 and a different Telus person created another Ticket for a "Request to the back office". He promised he would call back in a couple days. Nothing. I called today Dec 15th. There is a note from Dec 8. Try same steps with clearing cache, etc. & reinstalling. If doesn't work I'm to contact Samsung.
I guess I will wait for the next upgrade & keep my fingers crossed I will be able to watch again using the app on my tablet.
All the best,
Sandra

I have the same problem on my Samsung tablet. I live how Telus says to contact Samsung because the Telus app doesn't work.
I just want to watch a hockey game while I make dinner.

I just installed an app to check my DRM settings. Both my phone and tablet have only Level 1, yet my phone can stream channels but the tablet can't.

Interesting. I was initially wondering about this. Decided to wait to verify if Telus requested when they called back. Crickets. Thanks for checking.

Hi @Alberss @Harrisclh @Susanpeyton @Bob_Unlikely @Hockeydad16k @Chester14 did anyone manage to resolve the issue? Our development team has been trying to reproduce this error, but unfortunately it seems to only be happening on specific tablets, particularly with an older OS version, and so far we've had no luck in reproducing this error with the devices we have on hand.
If you are still experiencing this issue and is willing to share a bug report, it would go a long way to improving the handling of this error. Please see instructions below:
- brand and model
- OS version and build version (on your tablet, Settings > About device > Software version OR Android version, varies per tablet)
- TTV+ app (inside TTV+ > Settings > App information > Build version, please make sure you're on the latest build available from the Play Store)
- Does this error occur on both live and VOD, or only live?
- Please provide the name of a few live programs (and their channels) that you tried and whether they gave the error or not
- Same for VOD, provide a few names and whether they gave the error or not
- on your tablet, go to Settings > About device
- tap on Build Number 7 times until you see a message stating Dev Options are enabled (you may need to enter your device PIN)
- Full explanation https://developer.
android.com/studio/debug/dev- options
- In the TTV+ app, try to play something that gives you the error
- then immediately go to the tablet Settings > Developer Options and tap on Bug Report
- You may be prompted to choose the type of report. Choose interactive if you can.
- After 1-5 minutes you should see a message that the bug report is ready (it may appear only in the pull down notification menu)
- Tap on the "report ready" message and share it (the best option would be to upload to Google Drive and share it to anyone who has the link, and then send the link to us so we can download it)
- Full explanation https://developer.
android.com/studio/debug/bug- report
Thank you in advance!

I have the same issue with my Samsung tablet, OS 8.1. I just downloaded the Telus TV+ app again and there is no playback performance toggle in Settings. I contacted Telus Support via Twitter dm this past December and was told a fix was going to be deployed at some point. I'm not happy about losing playback of both live and vod on my tablet.

I just downloaded the Android version of the app and there is no playback performance toggle in settings. Like the other posters I have a Samsung tablet but with OS v 8.1. The app worked fine until you updated it. I contacted Telus Support via Twitter dm this past December and they said a fix would be deployed but it appears that hasn't happened yet. Very disappointing that functionality was removed for older Android devices. Guess I'm stuck watching TV on my phone.

Hi @tftowner106 we support Android OS 7 above. Google Play store distributes the new update to customers on a schedule. You should be able to see it by next week. you must be on version 2.20.258.005 to see the toggle.

Hi,
I wasn't asked to turn on "playback performance", but I tried it. After restarting the app the live play works!
Thanks for the fix,
Sandra
