AppleTV won't play netflix programs

Netflix works on my IPad but won't mirror to Apple TV. Other Apps work, e.g. PBS, Vimeo, on Apple TV, only the Netflix programs won't play on the Apple TV.
What should I do? Thanks

Same issue here. Any feedback? Some prior posts suggest that if any of your sub-accounts (profiles) have an ampersand in them, that kills the streaming on an ATV (so don't call your profile "name & name" for instance).
I've been on the phone multiple times with Netflix. They blame the ISP (rediculous since all other devices on our network stream just fine). I've done all they've asked for (cylced the ATV, reset the ATV, cycled the router, etc.). No change.
The software on the ATV is up to date also. Issue started maybe a month ago?
What's going on?!?

Sound not working & iTunes won't play & Netflix error

Sometimes my sound stops working, and songs on iTunes won't play when this happens. Also if I try to watch Netflix an error message comes up: "Netflix Playback Error N8157 3140" and it says it could have something to do with my Silverlight plugin.
This is what it says:
The error you're seeing is related to the Silverlight plugin, which Netflix uses to play movies and TV shows on your computer.
This error is usually caused by one of two things:
A computer setting preventing Silverlight from storing files it needs to play your movie or TV show
An issue with the Silverlight plugin itself
To fix this error, follow the steps below for your Windows or Mac computer.
Reinstall your audio card drivers
Your audio card drivers may be out of date or corrupt.
Uninstall and reinstall your audio card driver. Your owner's manual or audio card manufacturer's website can help.
However, I have tried deleting and reinstalling silverlight, but it doesn't make a difference. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? It only happens sometimes, other times I have no problems and it works fine.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Silverlight
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

AppleTV won't play Twilight HD

Hi,
I purchased Twilight HD from iTunes Store for my wife and daughter. I have sync-ed to my AppleTV more than once. I have updated my TV resolution to 1080p in the settings menu. The movie will not play. My AppleTV will not play this movie. It shows the main screen with 'play movie', 'Scene selections', 'special features' and 'more'. If I click on 'play movie', it does nothing.
Thanks,
Biff

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
It sounds as though you are playing a movie with itunes extras. Unfortunately itunes extras does not always work very well on the tv.
When selecting the movie from your movie list, click and hold the play button down until you are given the option to play the movie directly without going through the 'extras' features.

Premiere CC 2014.2 won't play source/program monitor

I recently installed Adobe Premiere CC 2014.2, and since then no video plays within it, or the source and monitor or the program monitor. I'm on a Dell Inspiron notebook 2.1gh i7, 8GB memory, Intel HD Graphics 4000, ATI Radeon HD 7700m. Was usually working with the previous version, but now despite render normally, he does not play in the Premiere.

Mac Mini from 2005 won't play Netflix...

So now that I've got my previously owned Mini up and running properly, it seems it won't let me use Netflix because there isn't enough memory. (according to the Netflix page). So my question is, is there anyway to fix this? Is it possible to add more memory to my Mini? I'm new at all this and really don't know what I'm doing. All the other requirements (according to the Netflix page) are met (i.e. the OSX, etc), but not the memory.....

The 2005 Mac mini only supports 1 GB of RAM. If that is what it has and that is not enough for the technology that you wish to use, then that mini will not do the job for you. On the other hand, if it does not have 1 GB of RAM, and 1 GB would meet the Netflix minimum, then you could have a tech install more RAM.

AppleTV won't play movie trailers...

As per the subject, if I try viewing trailers from the rent or buy sections on Apple TV they play fine, but if I go to the movie trailers section and try to view the trailer for Avatar for example I get an error about the file type not being recognised, I know there's a similar problem on the Quick area of the forums but thought I'd mention it here too.

I phoned Applecare about this issue on Saturday (after wasting a morning resetting, then re-resetting ATV and iTunes). The guy told me that they'd had lots of calls about the streaming trailers issue, so he assumed that it was a "technical problem with the streaming servers, but we have no engineers available to look at it right now".
It's now Monday, and I still can't stream the trailers, so I assume they're having real problems.
Pity they can't send a message to ATV owners that explains that they're having problems, but are working on the case. That would have saved hours of frustration trying to figure out what's wrong.

1 of 2 DVRs won't play recorded programs

I have 2 DVRs, the 'master' DVR and a secondary one. The secondary one suddenly stopped letting me play recorded show. If I try to play anything, it freezes for about 30 seconds and then goes back to live TV. I've reset the box and used the in-home agent to no avail. Any suggestions?

I have 2 ipad ist generations. I updated one to OS and now netflix won't play on it but my nonupdated one still plays netflix.

I have the iPad2 with IOS5 and Netflix works fine with the Netflix application - I didn't try from Safari.
It shouldn't behave differently between iPad1 and iPad2.

.aiff files won't play in finder (and some programs)

Mac Pro 4.1
Doing some long-overdue file cleanup, and when I preview some .aiff files in the finder they won't play. The Apple .aiff sound effect files play, but things I've recorded won't play, although they will play if imported into iTunes. Other audio formats are playing fine in Finder.
Also, a recording program I sometimes use called Tracktion will play files in other formats, but my .aiff files are silent or pure harsh static.
Is there a global setting that might be corrupted somewhere? Could this be the fault of my recent Mavericks installation?
Thanks!

I came across the same problem in Mavericks, some wav files played, others didn't. I found that adding '.wav' to the end of files that didn't audition in Finder cured the problem.
As I have many thousands of sound fx files in different formats, changing them individually was not possible.
There are batch conversion apps which will add the .wav (or other format endings) when batch converting - this is what I have been doing. Export them with no change to format but the filename is now correct to audition.
Mavericks broke the two things I liked most - auditioning sounds, movies, pictures etc from Finder, and the file/folder highlight colours. Just a stupid coloured dot now.

Hi all - i can upload my photos to MobileMe and view them on my appletv - no problem at all
but when i try to upload a video (which it is happy for me to do) - it comes up with a ? when i try to play it
any ideas?
All software (inc apple tv is up to date)
cheers
dc

Have you uploaded it to a Photo gallery?
Someone posted the other day that videos ib Photo Galleries don't work but do if uploaded as videos.
I can certainly view MobileMe videos I made ages ago on AppleTv.
I'd be surprised if the iPhone video format is wrong for AppleTV, as it adds another argument for iPhones users to get MobieMe, but you never know....

My 10.6.8 macbook pro's DVD player won't play a movie from Netflix. The DVD does play on a 10.5 mb pro. So DVD is ok. Message says "not permitted" when I click play. Is there a compatibility issue? Or something else?

Hello:
This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

FLV files won't play in other programs

Has anyone experienced this...
I encode FLV's using PP CS3 with no hickups during the encoding. They play fine in Windows Media Player (latest version). But not all players play them. I put them on our streaming server and they won't play in our web pages using the Dreamweaver player. They play fine if i use the jeroenwijering media player but not Adobe's own media player which comes with Dreamweaver.
My biggest problem is that I have several FLV files that I need to convert to some other video format (AVI, MPG, etc.) But none of the programs I've tried will even recognize the FLV files created with PP CS3.
I used Movavi FLV converter and Riva FLV Encoder and a couple others and nothing works.
Has anyone else experienced this and have they found a solution?

I cannot help you with the playability issues of your FLV's, but:
My biggest problem is that I have several FLV files that I need to convert to some other video format (AVI, MPG, etc.) But none of the programs I've tried will even recognize the FLV files created with PP CS3.
I use Moyea's FLV Plug-in for PrPro. IIRC, it works fine in CS3, though is not supported under CS4.
To date, I have yet to be handed an FLV that it would not Import and edit properly. Thing that I like about it, is that it's a true plug-in and there is no conversion necessary.
I've used FLV-to-AVI, and it's slow. Also, the conversion is an extra step.
Good luck,
Hunt

AppleTV 2.0: Won't Play TV Shows

I downloaded and installed the 2.0 update. When I choose a TV show from my existing library it won't play it and returns an error message that it is in an incorrect format. All of my TV shows were purchased from the iTunes Store, so how can it be an incorrect format?
Not impressed with the update. I hate that it groups all media together regardless of whether it is located on the AppleTV hard drive, my MacBook hard drive or my external drive.

mine are playing OK.
but the listing is all screwed!!!
it's listing all the episodes for every show in one huge list.. and it showing the actual show name instead of the episode name.
