I was just watching a program using the Demand 5 app tonight and it's all running nice and smoothly until halfway through it suddenly just starts buffering and then totally freezes up on me. I can't even exit the app without locking/unlocking my tablet and when I go back to the program I'm trying to watch it just starts buffering again, then finally an error message appears saying, "Sorry, Android Media Player has encountered a problem playing your video." I have tried reinstalling the Demand 5 app and restarting my tablet but it makes no difference. Now I'm also getting a similar message when I try to play videos on the YouTube app. Anyone know how to fix this please?! I'm using a Nexus 7 running Lollipop 5.1.1.
 
You could try clearing cache in recovery.
Funnily enough I finally managed to get demand 5 onto my "unsupported" phone tonight and realised it works without wifi... I thought I'd read it relies on wifi?
(sorry for the off topic chat btw)
Have you factory reset your tab since the update btw?
I just reset my OnePlus One tonight after a few bugs and it was far less painful than I expected. Took about an hour to get it back to normal :)
