Netflix flickers in full screen

The problem is on a macbook and macbookpro.Works perfectly untill i put it into full screen where it flickers very fast and some times goes black and stays black.
Its better or worse depending on browser but i like ff9. I re-installed the silverlight plugin twice to no avail.
As its happening on both machines could this be a bug in lion? I only got Netflix last week and i realy love it so i would love a solution.
A work around i discovered by accident is to activate mission control or Expose while in full screen.I can press F3 twice (Mission control) or the one i prefer is flick my cursor to a hot corner twice and the problem clears instantly for the duration of the movie.
I hope this can help other people untill the problem is solved.

I have the same problem on my macbook pro using Firefox 9.0.1. If I reinstall Silverlight it works for the first episode of a TV program. But the next episode will flicker in full screen mode.
Netflix works fine in Safari. So it is not a hardware issue.
I reverted back to Firefox 3.6.25 and there everything works fine. I also made sure that the settings in both versions of Firefox were the same.
I also tried different screen resolutions and it made no difference.
So I think there is something in Firefox 9.0.1 that is incompatible.
One solution is to use Safari for Netflix and Firefox for other activities.
Firefox's ad blocking capabilities alone, make it a much nicer browser.

HT4623 Just installed io7, now I cannot get Netflix to be full screen. Also ipad start up etc seems a lot slower.

Just installed ios7 on ipad 3. Now cannot get netflix to be full screen. Also start up of ipad is suddenly slow.

I don't use netflix yet on mine but the slow startup I might be able to help. I just restarted mine and in maybe 5 seconds is restarted.
If you have a lot of programs running in the background that may be causing the slow start or shutdown. To close those running programs, 4 finger upto get to the running programs and to close them, tap one and hold for a second and flip upwards,, it will go off the top of the screen, closing it. Do this with all that you want closed, there will only be the main screen you can't close that will be left.
I also shut off location services, Bluetooth and under safari there a use data option which for some reason turned on but I could have clicked yes somewhere and those got turned on, but I turned them off since I don't need them on.
Then try a restart.

Full screen from macbook to tv - netflix

I have my macbook pro hooked up to my tv via HDMI cable. Everything works fine, except netflix wont go full screen on my tv. It will go full screen on my laptop. It will play on the tv. I just wont go full screen on the tv. Every other media type works. I even watched the Superbowl this way. Any ideas why netflix wont?

Its not the image size. The browser and search bar are still showing. It wont leave the browser and show full screen.

Safari full screen glitch when adding Bookmarks

Hey there people!
Love Safari, but I've had a fullscreen operation glitch for probably a year and still have not found a solution. The glitch only occurs while Safari is in full screen mode.
Problem:
1. Occurs when adding a new bookmark (in any method either thru keyboard shortcut, menu (bookmarks > add bookmark) or share button (share > add bookmark)
2. Adding Bookmarks pop up menu appears (confirming bookmark location) but underneath the pop up menu the Safari window flickers to full screen view of default mac brushed aluminium backdrop and the space quickly slides to the left. While this is happening another brushed aluminium desktop slides from the right and into view. This backdrop then flickers to reveal original Safari window content with Bookmarks pop up menu ontop.
3. However at this point before confirming bookmark add - if all desktop spaces are revealed via Mission Control, Safari has created a blank desktop space with Safari logo to the left of the original Safari screen. This space is titled the current web page but the thumbnail is blank (mac brushed aluminium backdrop). If the space is selected I can only see the brushed aluminium backdrop. It cannot be closed (with command W or Esc) or via Mission Control.
4. Back to original Safari window. After I confirm which folder to save the bookmark, Safari space slides to the left and merges with the ORIGINAL desktop space (the default desktop that is created on system boot which cannot be moved or deleted). This space now looks like normal fullscreen Safari however the dock and menu bars are showing and the space is titled Desktop rather than Safari.
6. In order to display Safari in proper fullscreen mode again, Safari has to FIRST "EXIT Full Screen" (using either keyboard shortcut or menu shortcut, full screen button does not appear). After EXIT Full Screen, Safari is correctly displayed in windowed mode in DESKTOP. Safari has to Enter Full Screen as normal to restore Safari as its own space and in full screen.
Notes:
- Glitch does not occur at other times (including adding pages to Reading List or during another pop up menu such as (File > Save As).
- The glitch was first evident since fullscreen implementation in Lion. I have since updated to Mountain Lion hoping it would fix the issue but it remains unaffected.
- I have attempted removing all Safari extensions. I have also tried removing 3rd party plugins such as Growl, Alfred. But this hasn't made any difference.
Macbook Pro mid 2010
Safari 6.0.4
OS X 10.8.3
Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions? (clean install of OSX will most likely work but is last resort)
Thanks for reading!

Why can't i use full screen on netflix?

With Firefox, using my MacBook Pro (3 weeks old)I cannot go to full screen when running a movie on Netflix. It worked fine on my older MacBook Pro.The screen goes dark after 2 attempts.
However I can go to full screen on Netflix using Safari.

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.
See:

Flickering Screen and Lack of Full Screen Support, Flickering Screen and Lack of Full Screen Support

Hi,
I ran into a few things related to using my Bootcamp MacBook Pro 15” 2011 that I purchased 2012Mar. Having issues on the Mac side, with an external monitor. I bought a ViewSonic VX2753mh LED monitor, hooked it up to my laptop, started in Mac OS and seemed to be going good, able to get 1080p, 1920x1080 res on the monitor even though the 2011 MacBook doesn’t have that resolution on the actual attached screen. BUT, the Viewsonic started to intermittently turn off and back on, in addition when I tried to play a movie (or even a slideshow) in full screen (not mirrored), so that I could surf and watch the movie or slideshow, the full screen version of either would be placed back on my laptop screen while the external monitor had a generic grey with vertical lines screensaver pop up, or vica versa. If I played the movie in a small screen it was ok. Have heard a lot of issues with “flickering”. As for the application situation, maybe that’s something I don’t know about yet since I’m new to Mac. Can I play something like slideshow or a movie in full screen on an external monitor while I surf or type on the laptop monitor? Any ideas on either issue?
Thanks in advance !!!

Ok, so I solved my full screen problem with VLC, both slideshows of my pics running full screen on external moniter while I work on laptop, and with movies, still getting my external monitor flickering on and off, other threads stop around May, is there anything new ?

Problems with Itunes Full Screen in MBA 2013 - 10.9 - Flickering Subtitles

All,
I have an issue when I use subtitles in HD movies (Wolverine being the latest example) using iTunes 11.1.3 and play it in full screen on 10.9. Subtitles flicker and sometimes when the next subtitle appears, the old one stays while flickering. It works perfectly when not in full screen. It also works well without subtitles (even though I think it does flicker a bit)
Has anyone else noticed this?
I have also noticed that when I move my mouse so the control-pad comes up (play/pause/etc), the screen flickers a bit. This did not happen in Mountain Lion.
Thanks,
Alex

I found a temporary answer for this problem. While in fullscreen you can pull the control panel in a corner, and stay with your mouse pointer on it, the subtitles appear correctly and you can watch the movie in fullscreen.
But i hope, there is an update comming to solve this problem.

When viewing full screen video in netflix watch instantly, the picture freezes while the audio continues streaming

When watching full screen video in firefox the picture freezes and the audio continues streaming. I had at first thought this was limited to netflix but now see the same problem when viewing flash video sites. Once the picture freezes the computer has to be rebooted. This only happens in firefox. Explorer streams perfectly in fullscreen. The problem began after updating to firefox 3.6 as I had no problems prior to that.

For some reason the plugin container is causing some wierd stuff. I didn't know you could have more than one instance of task manager open. while this bug occurred, I had 15 task managers open. So somehow this plugin container is doing soemthing funky with the windows system. I'm the same poster as the last 2 post
Hope this helps the troubleshooting.

How to make netflix go full screen with multiscreen on chrome

i have not touched my netflix since i got mavericks installed because every time i fullscreen the video it never covers the screen entirely.
when i make my chrome window on my other monitor fullscreen there is always a small sliver that seems to be reserved for the IOS toolbar even though with flash and HTML5 video on youtube it envelopes the screen completly. i have no idea why it does this. my only solution i found was to make the individual tab in chrome go fullscreen which hides the searchbar like fullscreening hide's IOS' toolbar but unless i am doing somthing wrong i can barley make that happen on purpose as it always seems to be a graphical hiccup that happens on accident.
i heard of netflix switching to HTM5 which works wonderful on mavericks but i seem to be stuck with silverlight. i can easily remedy this by going out of multiscreen mode but it is a hassle as i must shut down everything i am doing to log out and log in again and while it will make netflix play fullscreen i will still get hit with the inconsistent youtube format that switches form HTML5 to flash at random which the fullscreen html5 will get rid of my main screen which defeats the purpose of dualscreen. so unless there is a way to make silverlight fill the entire screen or make mavericks accept HTML5 or even how to get chrome to fullscreen a single tab on command i am wasting $8 a month because of crappy hardware.
and while i heard netflix works bets on safari and firefox i cant use them because netflix never seems to remember my passwords for other browsers which forces me to change the password every time i want to login elsewhere which is also a hassle.

use the shift key in what way? as i click the fullscrene icon on chrome? as i hit the fullscreen button on netflix? or when i hit silverlight? or when i use it in conjunction with another hotkey you did not mention? please be more explicit and detailed in your solution.
i have had this problem since i got mavericks in October 2013 and have been looking for a solution myself for the past 4 months and have found nothing. maybe i was searching wrong or asking the wrong questions but i doubt i found nothing because i was the only one with the problem. i figured that more experienced mac users and chrome users would have faced the same problem and came up with a solution already using their ingenuity and hopefully would offer me their solutions if i asked directly.
since you responded within 3 minutes of me posting this question and as vague as your reply was you mention the solution requires the shift key in some way i was right in assuming i was not the only one with the problem and that others have found the solution already. no hours or days required to troubleshoot this alien and unheard of technical issue on my behalf since you have done that for yourself in the past 4 months and would only require 5-10 minutes in writing out 8-16 lines of text to explain the solution. possibly 24 lines if you write out the steps as a list.
i would not ask for help here if i found the solution myself but sadly i could not and have to turn to the community for guidance and cooperation in solving the problem, just like how humanity has solved every problem it faced and made the modern world the marvel it is today,though this sharing of information and labor that a social species such as humans would excel at.
so how exactly do i use the shift key in expanding my chrome tab which would make my netflix go full screen with no gaps?

Full screen flickering

Hello, I'm having some full screen issues like so m any people. I just finished converting my game to full screen mode, but now there are some problems with flickering which seems to be coming from when new images are loaded. Has any one else ever experienced a problem like this? I believe I'm going to use media tracker to finish loading the images and hope that helps. But, the computer also seems to stop updating the screen sometimes in which never happened when it was windows.
These are the lines I used for buffering stratagie---
(in main method)
GraphicsConfiguration gc = device.getDefaultConfiguration();
setUndecorated(true);
setIgnoreRepaint(true);
device.setFullScreenWindow(this);
this.createBufferStrategy(2);
bufferStrategy = this.getBufferStrategy();
Thread th = new Thread (this);//other calculations
th.start ();
graphicsThread.start();//paints graphics
--------------------------------------(this is for drawing graphics)
class graphicsThread implements Runnable {
private Thread thread = null;
public void start() {
if (thread == null) {
thread = new Thread(this);
thread.start();
public void run() {
thread.setPriority(9);
while(true) {
Graphics g;
g = bufferStrategy.getDrawGraphics();
render(g);
g.dispose();
bufferStrategy.show();
I am unsure if I want to try Volatile images or not. The frame rate is a bit low, but not unexceptable as I'm working on an RPG it isn't that important. So if anyone could help me with BufferStrategies I would be greatly obliged!

yes, u have to ensure your images are fully loaded before you start rendering them.
MediaTracker will do this for you.
Alternatively you can load your images synchronously using ImageIO.read(..)
(Note however, images returned from ImageIO are not ManagedImages - they must be copied to a ManagedImage before they will be elligable for hardware acceleration)
As for the app. failing specifically when in fullscreen mode.
What Java version are you using?
There are alot of bugs related to fullscreen, most have been fixed in Java1.4.2 so i'd try upgrading to that and see if it fixes your problem.
And with regard to the frame rate, if you are doing it right, you should be able to render several 1000 images at 60fps without to much hassel.
Just make sure all your images are either ManagedImages or VolatileImages (depending on the circumstances, each have their uses.)

When in full screen mode on netflix or hulu firefox goes out of full screem by itself

I stream movies and tv shows using the websites Netflix.com and Hulu.com, when I have it in full screen mode, firefox automaticly and without reason exits full screen mode. I dont have any screen saver on or anything like it, it just goes back to the smaller view. i was hoping someone had an answer for this problem.

''full screen mode on Netflix or Hulu, Firefox drops out of full screem by itself:''
'''Try this'''
#Update Flash to latest version<br>http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#Bring up a Flash Video<br>http://www.youtube.com/watch?index=39&feature=BF&v=lfkbx_PETjE&list=PL05CEC01F9F371A3D
# Click with movie to pause movie
# Right-click within the movie,
# Choose '''pop out'''
# Make the window as large as possible by moving the borders, just in case it drops full screen
# Click on full screen on the symbol lower right corner
That appears to be what I had success with, I'm not connected to external monitor.
# If movie is not playing click to start
# Click on Full screen symbol

Macbook air video flickers full screen Mavericks

After upgrading to Mavericks I notice that the video flickers and the black bar at the top moves up and down when watching videos in full screen ; an example is the Jony Ive iPad air video or an iTunes movie. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I specifically said - "Thats not to say there isnt a single unit with a GPU/ monitor issue."
I have the new Air, thanks for asking. Have had roughly 20+ new 2013 Air thru my hands;...videos play fine on same.
Contact Apple and make an appt. if your specific Air is experiencing an issue.
Your warranty entitles you to fast service and resolution of any issue you make have with your Air notebook.

Adobe Flash Player Flickers when watching Fox Business Full screen

I am using Windows 7 (64 Bit) and IE 10. When I go to Fox Business I can watch fine in small screen but when I go to full screen the Adobe Flash Player icon shows up in the taskbar and the screen flickers until I hit escape and revert back to small screen.
I have tried all 7 suggestions in your help section and none help.

There exists an Add-On named "Turn off the light". Have you installed it?

Flash does not work correctly in full screen after most recent Firefox update

== Issue
==
Firefox is having problems with certain web sites
== Description
==
Yesterday, firefox updated itself automatically. The "what's new" screen suggested that I update Flash immediately, so I did. I had a little trouble. I eventually uninstalled Flash and re-installed with the latest version, but it is now up to date. Now flash videos will not play properly in full screen. The picture will freeze for a few seconds with the audio still playing, the screen will go blank, then the video will restart from where the audio was when the screen went blank. Sometimes Flash will crash completely and I will have to reload the page to restart the video, even not full screen. Other times I get an error message that my video driver stopped working. I have checked and my video driver is up to date.

I updated to 3.6.4 and when I went to NetFlix to watch the next show of a series, it said
something like
Installation complete, restart your browser.
I restarted browser, same problem. Restarted comp. Same problem.
I updated Adobe Flash 10.1, still same problem.
But able to watch some vids on other sites, but full screen gave me the big blank white screen with audio only, had to click around in the dark ( so to speak) to find the minimize button.
I did a System Restore to before the Firefox and Adobe updates.
I then did not update Firefox as recommended and went to NetFlix and wellah, i can view the movies again.
And Full Screen is fine.
I then experimented and updated Firefox only, went to NetFlix and got same msg with no viewable shows.
So did a System Restore once more.
Staying at 3.6.3 for a while longer until I know I can watch my movies.
I don't own a TV, so this is my only form of an occasional escape.
I do hope this is figured out soon.
With what I have done, it seems to be Firefox, Not Flash.
Good Luck to us all.

Save as dialog box expanded to full screen, edge arrows flicker and will not pull the edges in.

This problem presented itself out of the blue. The Save As dialog box expanded to full screen, and although the arrows that appear when the mouse cursor is over the edge of a window are present, they flicker and do not grab the edge to pull it in. Every other window on the computer does not have an issue like this. Restarting Firefox or the computer does not eliminate the problem. I am hoping that there is a settings file somewhere that the numeric value for the dialog box size can be changed, since I do not want to completely reinstall the browser.
As a side note, if the browser has been running many downloads for a while, it will usually start failing to display information, and eventually will get to a point where the Save As box flickers for an instant and disappears and the entire browser becomes unresponsive for an hour or more. Downloads continue (including the one that it froze up on, albeit as a randomly named file in User...Temp), but it is not possible to restart the browser until the downloads complete (which in some cases can be several hours). Usually I revert to using IE11 until I can restart Firefox.
Perhaps one of my strongest dislikes of Firefox though is the issue with its resistance to copy and paste operations in the Save As dialog box. Most websites offer files with cryptic and even identical names for different files, so renaming files is a critical operation if one is to keep track of and later identify the files one has. A problem unique to Firefox, attempts to highlight and paste in a better file name usually are met with a refusal to paste, a stuck context menu that can take a minute of clicking to clear, repeated jumping to the end of the file name, and other similar issues. I have encountered this problem repeatedly on different computers and different operating systems, it is a problem I have only ever encountered in Firefox.

cor-el,
I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns.

Netflix flickers in full screen
