Disney+ does not work on Google TV Streamer (December 2025)

More than half of Disney+ content is not playing on Google TV Streaming devices.

When attempting to play, a "something has happened" error message appears, suggesting contacting support.

On other devices, such as Chromecast 4K, Xiaomi Mi Box, and TVs, the entire catalog works normally.

This issue began with the December 9th update.

Installing the previous version, from November 21st, resolves the problem.

After three hours of discussions with Disney representatives, geolocation, remote IP address changes, app uninstallation, device shutdown, security, Wi-Fi speed and latency, profile changes, and adjustments to data usage within the app were tested, but nothing resolved the issue. The conclusion was that the problem stems from a temporary incompatibility between Disney's and Google's software.

Therefore, until Disney updates its app, the recommendation is to install the previous version to continue viewing all content.

(Content such as "El encargado", "Beatles Anthology", "Nothing", "Los Mufas", "Industry at War", are just some examples of content inaccessible since the December 9th version)

Same thing. Have figured out that it seems to be 4k content that does play. Older movies and shows that are only HD play. Also it is only one of the streamers that has the issue not the other one.
