Netflix playback stops and dumps me back to app

I watch a lot of Netflix on my Apple TV (I binge watch) and once or twice while watching it, the streaming playback stops and I'm looking at the menu screen showing the first episode I've watched - if I'm more than one episode in.  Sometimes I'm back to the Netflix main menu.
Has anyone experienced this?  Is there a fix?  I've watched Netflix on my PS3 and this never happened, could it be the Netflix app on the Apple TV or the Apple TV?

It's a 45mbps internet speed which right now is 50mbps - at least between my house and the closest server, can't speak for the internet speed for the intervening hops.  Would help to know what part of the country Netlfix's servers are, then I can check speed between here and the actual servers (as close as possible).  I never get buffering on the PS3, and Netflix loads a lot faster there.  Haven't had this happen on my Roku either, which makes me think it's not necessarily the network.
I did try googling the problem and there were a lot of hits, mostly all saying 'network.'
I looked at my network settings to check the DNS setting and it's set to the ip address of my router.  Where does it get that information, from the router itself?  I have 2 wireless networks in the house which doesn't bother the PS3 but might not be good for the Apple TV.  I have a Uverse router serving my tv and internet with a Time Capsule plugged in behind it via ethernet.  I wasn't able to find anything good as far as advice for configuring the second wireless router other than to put it in bridge mode, which it is.  It's not working quite as well as it did before - frequently it never loads videos embedded on facebook or on YouTube.  It COULD be network, I wouldn't rule it out, but this is something that never happens with the PS3 or the Roku.

  • Video playback stops and starts

    I've never had this problem before but since I wiped my 5th Gen (late 2006) iPod Video and put new content on it the video playback keeps freezing for a second and then continuing. Most of the time the audio keeps going but sometimes they both stop and start again. It's very annoying. I don't see anyone else in this forum complaining about this. Am I the only one?
    Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this?

  • Using cron to stop and restart password protected instance (App Server 7)

    I have been asked by a customer to create a cron job to stop and restart their web application running under Applications server 7.
    I have created the script and can stop the instance, but I am unable to start it as it is asking for a password.
    I have included this in the script but it doesn't seem to like having a password supplied this way.
    Am I doing something wrong or Are there any alternative ways of stopping and restarting an application, using Cron?

    Have you looked at using password.conf file as described in --

  • Playback stops and stalls

    I'm using Encore 1.5 and just gave a client a slide show encoded from Premiere 1.5.1. The DVD played fine on my Panasonic player but the client reported problems with both DVDs he got. I tested on a different player (Sony) and sure enough, it would not play properly.
    The DVDs play okay on my Panasonic and computer players but not on Sony and apparently others. I encoded the project at 7.5 mbps for better quality. Could that be the problem?
    Need help soon, client getting married shortly...
    Thanks,
    Bob

    To
    Burn Error Proof DVDs (Well, close to error proof!)
    Use the SLOWEST possible burn option your burner will allow in Encore, since it is much better to take a bit more time burning the disc than it is to burn "fast" and have a disc that won't play
    Set the VIDEO portion of the transcoding options to a Maximum of 7,000 so your burned disc will have a better chance at playing in desktop players (which support burned discs, if at all, only as an "after thought" of the DVD specification)
    Use AC3 or PCM audio transcode settings for best player compatibility (some discussion of MPEG audio not being supported by all players, especially for NTSC discs)
    Buy and use Taiyo Yuden (or Verbatim?) brand blank discs

  • Help! The App Store was telling me to update my apps so I did an 'update all'. Half way through they stopped and now I have some apps that are greyed out and I cants open them or delete them. What do I do?

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hey Pagevc86,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you might have some apps that seem to be stuck on "Waiting." The following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue and may help you as well:
    App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
    Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
    Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
    If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Sincerely,
    Delgadoh

  • Streaming playback stops when Sy nc Macbook closes

    My ATV2 has 2 machines connected to it - machine 1 is a macbook configured to sync, and machine 2 is a macbook pro configured to stream.
    While playing back a streaming movie from machine 2, if I sleep or shutdown machine 1, the playback will stop completely. I have to navigate back in the ATV2 menu to the streaming shared movies to resume playback. Closing the sync computer should not affect the playback of a stream!!!!

    It could have something to do with the syncing, it does the same thing if I start playing a movie with iTunes not running on machine 1, and then start iTunes. The movie stops and it goes back to the selection screen when the ATV starts syncing.
    After further testing, it still quits playing the movie even if the ATV is not syncing with machine 1 when the machine goes into sleep mode.

  • Playback Stops... Why?

    Hello - I am learning how to use Premiere CS4.  One thing I noticed is that during playback, if I click on anything in Adobe, playback stops and I have to restart it.  Is there a way to prevent this?
    Thanks,

  • My itouch keeps kicking me back to apps screen as it startys to download. It is doing that for most of my games. How do I fix it?

    My itouch kicks me back to app screen every time I try to play games. It starts to download and just jumps back to app screen. How can I fix this?

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
    Have you tried each of these?

  • Ok. So my iTunes started acting up a few months ago. ALL of the songs I purchased from the iTunes store stop in the middle of the song and then go back to the begining (I keep it on repeat one song by the way). Please help!!! (Windows 7)

    Ok. So my iTunes started acting up a few months ago. ALL of the songs I purchased from the iTunes store stop in the middle of the song and then go back to the begining (I keep it on repeat one song by the way). Please help!!! (Windows 7) I would really like to hear my songs all the way through, but I can't . I tried the "Convert Protected ACC files to Purchased ACC files fix" but it DIDN'T work. I don't know what to do. It does it when I transfer the music onto my Classic too.

    What do you mean "doesn't recognize"?

  • When I try to buy any app or song from iTunes app or app store on iPhone 5 it seems to start the stops and goes back to baseline in a second or two

    When I try to buy any app or song from iTunes app or app store on iPhone 5 it seems to start the stops and goes back to baseline in a second or two.
    It did it with my old iPhone 4 in last month or so, and it I hoped it would go once I updated to new iPhone 5. The problem has transferred to new phone too.
    I can't sign in to iTunes account on iPhone. It takes the password then resets to baseline. No error message comes up. On the base computer (pc) it will allow me to sign up and buy songs, apps etc. I can then sync the phone and put them on it. It just won't let me buy direct from the .
    As there are no error messages I am at a loss what to do. I have updated the payment details on my account, and my husband has an iPhone 4 and has no such problems. We share the same wifi. I have tried with 3G as well as wifi, with no luck.
    I am pretty much out of ideas, and have tried searching forums but there is so much overlap between queries that I can't find a similar problem from someone else, but I am sure it exists!
    Can anyone please help me?
    Thanks in advance
    Sarah

    I figured it out!
    I read a solution for something that sounded similar.
    Anyone in similar position:
    Open iTunes app on iPhone, and pick an option from bottom, such as music. Then scroll down to bottom of page and where your iTunes ID is, press on it, and pick sign out.
    Then return to home screen, and double press home button and press and hold on first icon showing, until a minus symbol appears in the top left of icons present. Press on each minus symbol on each app in turn, until all app icons have disappeared. Then Restart the phone by pressing and hold the home button and the on/off/standby button at top of phone, until the apple symbol appears in centre of blank screen.
    Swipe to turn phone fully on and open settings and scroll down to iTunes and apps option and tap that. Pick sign in and put in your apple ID, it will accept it and then return to home screen and open iTunes a you'll find it works fine
    Simple really, but some like me won't think f this themselves!
    Hope that helps

  • HT4914 I often record songs at a particular tempo, iTunes Match will then match it and send it back to me at the original tempo, is there anyway I can stop some songs from being matched. At the moment I have turned match off. But I would like to sync play

    How old was this backup? It sounds like it was at least several weeks old.
    You can look directly in the TM backup for the music.
    1. Connect to the external HDD the backup is kept on.
    2. Open a Finder window and select the backup drive in the left hand panel. Double click into the folders until you see a list of folders with dates.
    These are the incremental backups. You can start at the top or the bottom of the list but I suggest you double Latest/<HDD Name>/Users/<Account Name>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music. From this location you can start looking for the "missing" music. When/if you find it you can simply drag-n-drop to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music on the internal HDD.
    If the music is actually not in the backups (for whatever reason) then you've got a problem.
    You can download the uploaded files from the cloud by deleting the affected tracks from the iTunes library (but not the cloud!), highlighting multiple tracks at once, right-clicking and choosing "download."

    Hello,
    I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
    Restart the Computer. This sometimes happens to me when I keep my Windows 7 on Sleep, and I try to sync my Ipod
    Make sure you have the latest version of Itunes
    Hope that helps!
    If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
    Cheers!
