Play button does not work DirecTV Stream - Using App on Sony A90J

HI, 

I cannot get the "Play" button to work when using the DirecTV App on my Sony A90J. I have to hit the pause" button again which resumes the playing of the screen. This works the same way whether using the Sony remote or my universal remote. For all of my other Streaming services the Play button works. 

Is this functioning as designed? If so, can it be fixed?

Honestly, I've had no real issues with the App. The interface is a bit slow, but otherwise it works well in general. This issue with the play button not working has been the only real anomaly.

Even with the DirecTV Stream boxes and their remotes, the Play and Pause buttons are the same. It's a toggle function.

Litzdog,

Now that's interesting. I switched from U-Verse which worked very well but it's being sunset, and of course it was over twice the price. "Play" worked on U-Verse, I'm surprised it does not on the DirecTV Stream Box. I mean, what are they thinking, why not make it work.

DirecTV Satellite boxes had separate Play and Pause buttons, but not the Stream devices.
