Likely causes
WHY- Home network hiccups after ISP or mesh-router changes
- Play Services / store services out of date on Android TV variants
- ISP routing changes that briefly blackhole media ASNs
- Profile switch mid-playback left the app in a bad state
Fix steps
FIX- Force a cold boot: hold the power button until shutdown, unplug, wait a full minute, then start fresh into Sony.
- Refresh Sony to the latest build, reboot once more, and only then retry playback.
- Create a quick test: another profile on Sony. If that works, repair the original profile session.
- Test with a mobile hotspot; if Sony works there, fix the home router/DNS path.
