MLB.TV v1.3.4 App Not Loading Video

The MLB.TV app for Android TV updated to v1.3.4 recently.

This new version only shows a black screen when trying to watch anything on it. Has anyone else encountered this problem on their Nexus Player? I don't think it's a regional blackout issue because videos are playable on the MLB At Bat app on my Nexus 5 which is able to successfully cast content over to the Nexus Player.

Android TV MLB.tv blackout workaround?

Is anyone aware of a way to get past blackout restrictions on an android TV device? From what I've read you can get around it on a phone using several different methods of spoofing the GPS data/IP data, but I cannot find any information about how to do this with android TV or if it is even possible. Has anyone tried or had any luck with this? Would like to get it working with my nexus player and my shield TV.
