Netflix buffering problem resolved.

My Netflix/ Apple TV  downloading of movies was buffering for 15 seconds or so, every minute . It was a distance problem between the wifi modem and the AppleTV connected to my TV. My Imac and wifi modem were located upstairs at the front of the house. My Apple TV, and TV, were located downstairs at the rear of the house. I could watch Netflix without buffering on my Imac but on my TV it was almost hopeless.      Solution :  I unplugged all modem connections from my Imac. I took the modem downstairs and plugged it into the telephone line in an adjacent room to my Apple TV, with one plaster wall with door opening separating the modem and Apple TV/TV. When I logged into Netflix on the Imac it went to a associate site which asked me to confirm my e-m address for security puposes and that site then told me that it had detected changes to my settings and had reset them. I now have no buffering whatsoever, the movies are of an excellent clarity. My Imac works perfectly with the wifi modem remote from it, and the Netflix movies downloads without a single pause, with the modem located in close proximity.

Its the DNS, use google's dns in the apple settings, 8.8.8.8.
Use a hard wire cat 6 Ethernet cable. Forget all these wireless adapters, network bridges, and other elusive promises to do away with your Ethernet cables.
I get 127mbps ( with hard wire, and have tried numerous adapters and they are nowhere close.
HOWEVER!!
No matter how fast your connection is, you would need to know at what speeds apple's servers are limited at? What is their top speed per capita (apple tv)?
I have also noticed that some titles (Foreign movies and older movies) buffer (stop and start), especially on previews, no matter what your internet speed is.
This leads me to think that said titles have a lower priority.
I have also noticed that Netflix as well as Apple, in high traffic hours, loses quality (1920x1080) drops to something less.
This ESPECIALLY noticeable on a 10 bit true color panel (sony XBR900A and B), when blacks start pixelating.
Moral of the story, don't put 50 octane gas in a Ferrari, when it requires 100 octane gas.
Don't expect a 4k upscaler in a tv to work properly when the signal is poor.

  • MIRO document Number range buffering problem

    Dear all,
    My MIRO document number is not following the sequence. if my first 5 numbers come in a sequence, then the next 5 numbers are not coming in between. Instead, the next 5 numbers are coming. It might be due to number range buffering problem. How to find the number range object  for  MIRO document number range?
    How to solve this?
    Please suggest.
    I will award full points.
    Thanks & Regards,
    AR

    Hii,
    You can search the Number Range object in T-Code: SNRO
    The Number Range object for Invoice document is RE_BELEG
    Go the Change Mode of the Number Range Object in SNRO, remove the No of Numbers of Buffers (by default it will be 10).
    This will resolve your issue.
    Regards,

  • Some layers in Photoshop cannot be seen, is this a buffering problem?

    Some layers in Photoshop cannot be seen, is this a buffering problem?

    Maybe these layers' visibility has been disabled. That'll be the case if there's a space where there normally is an eye to the left of a layer name in Layers panel. Click the space/eye to toggle visibility.

  • Buffering Problem?

    9-10 seconds into every song, it appears there is a buffering problem as the song doesn't really skip as much as it garbles. I have updated audio drivers, Active X, deselected sound enhancer, tried small-med-large streaming buffer size, removed Musicmatch and disabled WMP playback. If anything, the problem intensified after installing updates? Any feedback?

    You can have Apple replace the logic board, but it will be at your expense.  The free replacement program has ended.
    As a band aid you may try the following:

    Hi, Does this happen after you have restarted your system?
    Do both of your browsers see the Flash logo animation here? If so then Flash Player is working correctly. I don't use Tree so am not familiar with it. Perhaps someone else will post to your thread with more info.

I am using custom DataSource and sourcestream to cretae player and I observed that the when the data is given to the player through the read method player is not playing the data until it reaches 2 secs(approx).

    Downloaded the free 900+mb Grey's Anatomy season
    finale.
    Have many other video's from iTunes, most paid for.
    They play fine, no out of sync, no apparent video
    buffering problem.
    This episode is, audio wise, out of sync with the
    video output and the video seems as if it is
    skipping, or buffering making a distorted, skipping
    video.
    Very hard to digest.
    I set all components (updated DirectX, Disabled 3D,
    set GDI only, in system made sure DMA is on, etc.)
    and since all other iTunes' video's play back
    fine, I am wondering what else there may be to do
    short of redownloading the vidoe which I may not be
    able to do.

    I also regressed to iTunes 6.0.5 to determine that the 900+ mb m4v file for Greys Anatomy seems in fact corrupted.
    Other iTunes tv shows play fine in both version 7 and 6.0.5.
    Grey's Anatomy video stutters and the voice is out of sync with the video.
    What is left for me to do?
    Apparently I can not re download the m4v file as only one download is allowed. And it took several hours to download...
    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I've walked through all of the wi fi problem resolves. None have repaired my problem. It seems like it starts to connect then stops forever. Even typing it starts then stops then it will catch up?

    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.

  • Severe buffering problems when streaming

    In the past couple of days, I have begun experiencing severe buffering problems when streaming video on the web. The video plays for like 6 seconds and then it pauses for like 6 seconds and continues this pattern over and over. This problem occurs regardless of which web browser I am using. I know the problem is not caused by the internet connection because I did a speed test and it is currently operating at 12mbps.  I have tried streaming video on another computer and it worked fine.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Problems resolving .local DNS names

    Hi all - I was having problems resolving machine.local type names, and I found this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107800
    This solution helped, but not completely.
    I am on a Mac mini running 10.4.8PPC.
    This unit is on a private IP network - 192.168.254.0/255.255.255.0
    This unit is staticly addressed - 192.168.254.31
    The network has a Windows Server 2003 machine doing DNS/DHCP
    The network has a domain of mynetwork.local
    I was experiencing the issue in this article:
    dig server.mynetwork.local would complete and resolve to 192.168.254.11
    ping server.mynetwork.local would fail to resolve.
    Adding local to the search domain solved this issue as described in the article.
    However, a new wrinkle arises.
    I frequently connect to other networks via PPTP, many running SBS 2003, which uses a company.local DNS scheme.
    Once connected, I can dig company.local names, but not mynetwork.local names (which I expected - as I am now resolving names through server.company.local). However, I can't ping company.local names, which prevents connection to the server.company.local OWA server, for example.
    Any thoughts? I tried putting
    mynetwork.local, company.local
    in the search domains field, but no joy...
    Thanks for wading through this long question - appreciate any replies...

    Playing Dr. Watson here...
    Are those other Networks Local but not on the 192.168.254.x subnet?

  • Bass problem resolved - Can no one advise me please

    Has the new 80 gig Ipod had the previous bass distortion problem resolved ?
    The old 60 gig model showed significant bass distortion (bass drum etc) on some tracks and was a known problem.
    I am thinking of buying the new 80Gig tomorrow - or - the Creative model - -can anyone advise right away please /
    Thank you
    Brian

    Check through the forum and use bass distortion as a search - you will then see some time ago that a problem did exist. It was due as far as I know to the change of the output whcih caused an overlaod on deep bass especially when the equaliser was used. Apple knew about this and eventually posted a hardware 'upgrade' - however I do not know if this cured the problem as I then bought the Sony A3000. I would like to get the new Ipod but not if this problem still exists.
    HTH

  • Lovefilm buffering problem

    Hi – can anyone help me please? I had BT Infinity 2 unlimited installed about two weeks ago and it’s great for internet surfing as I’m getting an average of 20 - 30mbps. However when I watch Lovefilm on my Sony blu-ray player I’m getting buffering problems. The player displays the amount of mbps and it seems to go up and down wildly – from 30mbps down to about 0.5 when everything grinds to a halt. After a short time the mbps rate goes up and the film continues. It only happens during busy times, with Sunday afternoon/evening being the worst. I’ve tried using an ethernet cable to connect to the home hub but that hasn’t really helped, nor has switching it (the hub) off and on again. A friend has suggested buying a better router but I would’ve thought the BT kit would be ok. Any help/advice appreciated!

    Thanks for the advice. The Glasnost test came back all clear and the details are here: http://loki09.mpi-sws.mpg.de//bb//glasnost.php?pro​tocol1=FlashVideo&protocol2=control%20flow&port=80​...
    As you suggest, I'll try testing the download speed when the blu-ray player slows down to see if it's the player itself that's causing the issue - though I've checked the firmware and everything is up to date.

  • Wireless buffering problem on Netflix

I restored this and reset it and hooked up the the network direct and had no problems but when wireless and streaming on Netflix, I have the problem. This is new it never did this before.

    Yes.
    Did you install parallel tools and it's drivers? Very important!. You have to make sure that your adaptor setting is correct under network adaptors.
