I pad not playing netflix instant watch

Having issues of i pad not playing netflix instant watch....did updates, reloaded app still nothing any suggestions?

Blame Netflix. They are the ones using DRM that wasn't compatible with Macs, even though, of course Mac compatible DRM solutions are available.

  • How can I get Netflix instant watch working in Firefox 6.0?

    Recently updated to Firefox 6 and Netflix instant watch won't work ... I re-installed silverlight but that didn't help. I can't find a way to rollback to Firefox 5.0, how can i fix this issue?

    '''SOLUTION'''
    The problem with Netflix streaming with the FireFox 6.0 version is that the Netflix service '''refuses '''version 6.0 because they are A) unwilling to license it '''''or''''' B) too lazy or stupid to add the new version to their User Agent acceptance scheme. C) under contract to MICROSOFT to use Silverlight and part of Silverlight's DRM is what Browser versions are acceptable and Microsoft is taking their sweet time updating Silverlight to push I.E. on people and if you have Beta 5 Silverlight forget that -------Until Netflix accepts Firefox 6.0 as a legitimate Netflix browser '''you may do what I have done to get Firefox 6.0 streaming at Netflix.'''
    1) Open Firefox 6.0 and enter "www.whatsmyua.com" without quotations in the address bar and highlight and copy your present User Agent string from the top of that page when you get there.
    2) Type "ABOUT:CONFIG" without quotations in the Firefox address bar and hit enter then answer the You might destroy the world question with Alright I'm ready.
    3) Right click on the background of the Config screen and then highlight to click on the "New String" choice... When the box comes up enter "general.useragent.override" without quotations and hit return
    4) When another box appears paste in your current User Agent string you copied in step 1) BEFORE hitting enter place your cursor on your paste and right arrow to the end of the line. EDIT/REPLACE "6.0" with "5.0.1" without the quotations. Enter your change and close out the Config page.
    5) Repeat step 1) to make sure the User Agent string is now spoofing your browser as version 5.0.1
    6) Go to Netflix and watch movies (Make sure Silverlight and the Firefox Java are on). If it was working before the upgrade, everything should now work again streaming Netflix with Firefox 6.0.
    7) Call Netflix and tell them Dave sent you to see if they're stupid or just lazy and to quit spreading the B.S. that Firefox 6.0 ain't workin when we know it's Netflix (1-866-636-3076)

  • Recordings not playing correctly when watching online

    It stops the playback at 45 minutes. I am still having the issue. 3 recordings tonight all at the same time and all 3 started 5-6 minutes in when watching online. All 3 play fine in my house. Kenal0

    I have 2 x1 dvrs and a total of 6 terminals. All play nicely at home, recordings all showing up and I do not have any problems in my home. When I go to watch a recording from outside my home, the recordings are starting 15 minutes into the program. They are skipping the first 15 minutes. The counter at the bottom shows 0-60 but 0 is where the program is already started in other words you cannot rewind to the beginning. The recordings all play fine in my home on any of the boxes.Any ideas? Kenal0

  • My Apple TV is not playing Netflix or YouTube

    It will play just about everything else.
    But it just keeps downloading and downloading both Netyflix and YouTube - but never plays them.
    It recognizes my accounts for both and all their details - it just qwon't play any videos.

    Not that anyone helped me...but the problem seemed to resolve itself with the latest Apple TV update.
    So....thanks for nothing...lol.

    Have you tried rebooting your router?
    Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in. See if that helps.

  • My iPad will not play NetFlix

    When I try to play a Netflix movie and some YouTube clips I get something like "cannot play movie, try again later".  Last 2 weeks I was able to view on my MacBook pro with NO problems.  (Away from home location).

  • Ipod doesnt not play audio when watching videos

    why?? what can i do i already was recomened mpeg streamclip and i dont no what to demux it to im completely confused i dont no what to do might just take ipod back to the store and get a zune?

    You can use itunes convert mov and mpg to mpeg-4. One thing though, is that if you convert an mpg (mpeg-1 or mpeg-2) muxed (muxed means that the video and audio are put together on one single track) than you loose the video or sound when converting them to mpeg-4 from itunes. If your videos are muxed you must find another video converter on the web. You can find out if the original video that you are trying to convert for the ipod is muxed by opening the original video in quicktime and then click on the Window menu then click on Show Movie Info this will show you if the file is muxed.
    to demux, you will have to just find a good video converter that does that. try videora.com

  • DVD Studio Pro does not play my background

    Hey guys,
    Has anyone ever experienced this problem? When I try to use a Quicktime movie as a background in my menu, it does not show up. Simulator will not play it, and watching a Video TS folder after a build does not show it. What is strange is that I see my buttons, but no background?
    The Quicktime I am using is an Animation codec, 29.97fps at 720 x 480.
    Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
    PS; When using a jpg as a background, everything shows up fine. It is just the quicktime movie.
    -Frank R.

    Perhaps is the animation file saved with an alpha channel (millions +)?

  • My ipad will not play videos after the last ios 7.0.3 update, help!?!

    Will not play Netflix, my videos or other videos (network apps downloaded ABC, CW etc).
    I tried to re-install clear my internet history. I also waited until it was full charged.
    Not sure what to do, everything else is working perfect.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • My instant watch for netflixs is not working on my macbook pro. I just shows a black screen. I know that the problem is not Silverlight, so what other type of software or upgrades am I missing?

    Go figure both Apple support and Netflixs support "have never seen a problem quite like mine" the same day my free trial has ended. And no the, problem is not with my Netflixs account because they charged my debit card just fine. I'm trying to play instant movies on my netflixs account and every time I click on a movie or show it just shows up a black screen with no play controls. According to Netflixs I'm either missing a peice of software or I need to uninstall and reinstall a program or plug-in or something. At first they thought it was Microsoft Silverlight, but I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling that several times and nothing has changed, plus since I had no play controls as well the problem is definetly not Silverlight. So I was wondering what other types of software or plug-ins are needed to play Netflixs movies or if anyones else has had the same issue and knew how to fix it. And I know that it is a problem with my Macbook Pro, because my netflixs accout still works on my sister's computers. I've tried restarting my computer, restarting Firefox, signing out and back in on Netflixs, praying to God, clearing my cookies and chache, saying nice things to my laptop, yelling at my laptop, and pretty much everything under the sun. Nothing I do is fixing it. Please someone help me figure this out.

    MacBook Pro  / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
    I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better.  Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG.   However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.  
    This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success.  So here's what I did:
    1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
    2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
    3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
        [also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
    4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
    5. Go back to the Get  Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
    6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
    7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
    8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

  • Netflix Instant Play will not work with Firefox but works fine with Internet Explorer

    When I log in to Netflix, I cannot play instant movies from my Queue. I called Netflix and they said to reset my router. I did this and now Netflix Instant play works with Internet Explorer but not Firefox.

    I am able to type a search word in but on clicking it, nothing changes. No results. the word just stays there.
    I also downloaded the https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/live-http-headers/ -- at first I wondered if it was not letting me install. So I allowed it in exceptions. But I'm not clear on what it does or what I do to use it.

  • I purchased Red2 on my Apple TV but it's not playing. I can watch Netflix and anything on Apple TV, for some reason, can't see this movie. Please advise.

    I purchased Red2 on my Apple TV in the UK and it's not playing.  I received a £4.99 bill from Apple so need to make sure I can at least watch the movie. Please advise.

    What happens when you attempt to play it? Is there an error?

  • I'm unable to instantly watch netflix on my Powerbook G4  Mac OS X10.5.8.  Can I download the required Mac OS 10.4.11?

    I'm unable to instantly watch netflix on my Powerbook G4 Mac OSX 10.5.8.  Am I able to download the required Mac OS 10.4.11?  Thank you.

    What PowerBook model do you have? OS 10.4.11 Tiger is the OS just prior to your OS 10.5 Leopard. There is no download, free or purchase. You have to buy the install DVD. What makes you think Netflix will work with 10.4.11 when it possibly doesn't work with 10.5.8? It's prrobably you Mac hardware & not software.

  • Every time I try to use Netflix instant play the browser closes with no explanation.

    Every time I click on a link for a Netflix instant-play movie, the browser instantly closes all windows and tabs (quits, in fact) with no explanation. The rest of the processes on the computer are not noticeably disturbed. I use Firefox version 3.6.3 on a MacBook running Mac OS X version 10.4.11, and 1 GB of RAM is available; all of these parameters meet the system requirements listed on Netflix's website. Furthermore, my Microsoft Silverlight is fully updated. Any advice?

    www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/ Try updating to the new silverlight edition. I had it up to date yesterday and it didnt work. i reinstalled today and fixed the problem for me.
