Netflix won't stream video

I just set up a new Apple TV unit and can't get netflix to stream. My account is active and I can sign in and see up to date viewing history. It just won't stream when I press play, it will just show the circular shape made up of radial lines moving and this last time "an error occurred loading this content." Message shows up... Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

I guess all it took was me making a post... It's working now!

My iPhone 4Gs won't stream video

My iPhone 4s won't stream video for more than a few seconds on a time before it has to buffer. I can't get through a 10 second video on facebook or youtube without going through this. Help!

Wifi or the regular network. When I say stream I just mean watching a video on my phone- nothing to do with ATV.

HT204291 Airplay Won't Stream Video

When I try to stream an iTunes movie rental from my iPad 3 to my AppleTV (2 gen), only the audio streams, not the video. That is, it behaves as if I'm streaming an iTunes music playlist - the movie poster appears on my TV along with a bar showing how much more of the movie there is to stream. So, I know the iPad is talking to the AppleTV. Switching directly from the Apple VIDEOS app to VEVO, I can immediately stream audio and video. But returning to the VIDEOS app, I can only stream audio. Any suggestions on how I might be able to correct this? Thanks!

Thanks vazandrew. I'd not had any issues Airplaying iTunes rentals in the past. In any case, because Airplay wasn't working, I connected my iPad 3 to my television so I could mirror another iTunes movie rental. The mirroring worked, and when I changed the set-up so I could also connect my iPad to the charger, Airplay worked with no issues. Did starting a video stream with mirroring somehow fix the issue with Airplay not streaming video? Whatever happened, the problem is fixed.

Streaming Audio Works Fine...But Won't Stream Video

Just bought an ATV2 earlier today, and I'm experiencing an odd problem: I can stream audio but not video.
My Mac desktop computer is in a different room from my ATV2 and TV setup. I downloaded the Remote App onto my iPhone, turned on Home Sharing, and things work fine for the most part. When I use the Remote App to stream music and audio podcasts to my TV, I have no problem. But when I try to stream video from iTunes (including movies, music videos, and TV shows I purchased in iTunes on the computer) the videos start playing on the computer instead of the TV.
In other words, the Remote App on my iPhone seems to be controlling the ATV2 for audio content, but it's controlling the computer for video content.
All my video content in iTunes is in the .MP4 format. Can't figure out what step or setting I might be missing.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks!
Eric

Solved the issue by upgrading to iTunes 10.

42tl515u Netflix won't load videos.

Dear Toshiba TV Forum,
My 42tl515u will not load videos to play instantly from Netflix. I activate the device, and it comes to the screen with all of my correct preferences and recently watched shows. I know it is communicating with netflix. When I select a show to watch, the loading screen displays. After a short time, I get the message "We're having trouble playing this title right now. Please try back later or pick a different title." It does this for every title I try. I can rent movies through Vudu and I watch them at HDX settings flawlessly. I doubt it is a connection issue, and since netflix connects, I doubt it is a server rule blocking a port. However, despite having looked for a solution for weeks to this problem and finding no one else experiencing this difficulty, I figured it is unique. I have exhausted every other avenue, and I have to ask for direct help. Please fix this problem. I have confidence this is an anomaly for Toshiba, but I want it corrected.
Best,
Chris

I'm having a similar problem. Here's what happens when I attempt to stream from Netflix:
1) I push Netflix button on the remote;
2) TV asks if you're a current Netflix member - I say Yes;
3) the TV then says, "To have movies streamed instantly from Netflix...
    Go to your computer and connect your device to your Netflix acount.
          1. Visit netflix.com/activate
          2. Enter this code: ----- (the TV will provide a 4 or 5 digit alphnumeric code)"
4) On the Netflix website, I go to "Activate Your Device" and it says, "Follow the instructions on your device to get an activation code."
5) I input the code provided by the TV
6) Netflix processes the code and says "Activation is complete
                                                          You are ready to watch instantly. Go check it out now!"
7) As soon as I get the "Activation is complete" message from Netflix, the TV says "Your activation code has expired. Not a problem - just 'Get a new code.'"
8) You can then either "Get a new code" or "Exit".
9) If you get a new code, the exact same process plays out.
I've tried this over a dozen times and the same thing keeps happening. I clearly have online access through the TV (e.g. I can use the Yahoo widgets). And the TV and Netflix website appear to be communicating with each other. However, there's a definite glitch in the Netflix app on the TV.
Any suggestions? Anyone else having the same problem? Is there a firmware update in the works to fix this problem? I like the TV and have enjoyed it in the short time I've owned it, but I will have to return it if Netflix is not accessible.

Netflix won't stream higher than 1750 kbps in Safari

After the Yosemite 10.10.3 update, Netflix in Safari will not stream higher than 1750 kbps (which is only 720x480 and barely DVD quality). Previous to the 10.10.3 update, Netflix would stream (HTML5) up to 5800 kbps. As at test, I have streamed the same Netflix video ("Example Short 23.976") multiple times of the day: the attached picture shows that Safari (left) is maxed at 1750 while the Chrome (right) stream is maxed at 3000 kbps. I was unable to find anything mentioned on the Netflix site regarding this problem. The timing of the problem strongly suggests that something changed in Yosemite 10.3.3/Safari 8 which is limiting the stream bitrate.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
Yosemite 10.10.4
Safari 8.0.5

It's not an Apple/Netfix issue.Iit's an issue between Netfix and your broadnand provider.
Glad to hear it's resolved for you, either way!

QT won't stream videos. I get the 2048 error. How do i fix this?

Okay, here is the deal. For about 3 weeks i've read stuff online about this issue that has not helped me. Let me break it down
I've converted some video's to Mov files and i'm streaming them to some friends. They are able to watch the video from the stream nin QT but i get the 2048 error. I've tried everything that i can think of.
I've read that i should change the file from mov to something else, but i was also told the file has to be mov format to stream.
I'm not interested in watching the file in VLC or anything else. In order for me to share the videos it has to be QT.
I thought it could be my firewall but that doesn't seem to be the case. I've unistalled QT and reinstalled it as well
I really need to get my QT to view these files. I even called apple who blew me off. I have the latest version of windows and QT pro.
I need some help..please feel free to explain the solution to me like I'm 5. I'm not great with this stuff.
Thanks

With that particular variety of 1606 (it's a 1606 error message even though the 1606 error message number isn't returned by the iTunes installer), cassi, the following Microsoft document is worth a try:

Netflix won't stream in HD in Mavericks, but will in Parallels

When I try to watch Lost in Netflix in my Mac OS X Mavericks, the HD icon doesn't appear. But when I log in in Parallels and see the same chapter, the icon appears. I used the keyboard shortcut (ctrl+shift+alt+S) to force HD in both, and the max rate that Safari can stream is 1750. But in Windows in Parallels, it can stream at 3000. Is there a way to fix this? I also tried to use Chrome and Firefox instead of Safari, but got the same result. That's why I think it's a Mavericks problem.
I have a MacBook Pro mid 2012, Safari 7.0.5 and Mavericks 10.9.4. In Parallels I use Windows 7 Professional SP1 and Internet Explorer 64 bits. Both with Microsoft Silverlight 5.1 installed, HTML5 activated.
Thanks.
This is Safari, with no HD icon and 1750 max rate.
This is Internet Explorer in Parallels Desktop, with the HD icon and 3000 max rate.

Apple TV Won't Stream Video From IPad

Hi,
I have some video's downloaded from the App Store on my iPad, the Apple TV will not play these. It will play the sound but no picture. The Apple TV wants to stream them from the cloud. I tried to turn off 'cloud streaming' on the Apple TV but this makes no difference. When I simply try to mirror it says the TV isn't authorised to play content.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I turned off my firewall, and it did solve the problem of getting the message in iTunes that I click "Ignore" on. But, it didn't solve the streaming problem with Apple TV. From Apple TV I go to my shared music on that iTunes (8.0.2), and the menu on the right comes up (Playlists, Artists, Albums, etc), but once I start clicking through it after about 5 seconds it just freezes up. Should I try a system restore on the Apple TV to go back to 2.2? It came with 2.2 and I ran the update to 2.3, so I'm guessing/hoping that a system restore would let me go back to 2.2. My hunch though is that it's a problem with iTunes 8.0.2 -- just a guess.

Netflix won't stream after software update

I recently completey a software update on my MacBook. Once completed and rebooted I tried streaming a Netflix movie in Safari and the browser locks up. I can navigate in Netflix and select items. Once I select an item to stream the working symbol appears and then freezes or goes dark.
Anyone else experiencing this? Is it possible to remove a recent software update?

I found the solution on another post here on the apple boards - delete and reinstall.
I uninstalled silverlight.
I restarted my computer.
I navigated back to the same Netflix streaming page.
I again chose to download the .dmg file to install (the same) Silverlight.
I installed Silverlight again and restarted my browser.
This time when I tried to stream the same content, it worked just fine.
Hope this will help others.

TS1702 Anyone have a problem with Netflix won't stream vertically

At home page of netflix it will switch horizontal and vertical but streaming a movie it will not stream vertically on ipad2

Be sure to look on the side of your iPad and make sure that the mute switch isn't on. You will know if it is on if it has an orange dot on it. You don't want to see the orange dot. Now double tap your home button and swipe left to see the volume controls. Make sure that the volume control is all the way up. Now go to settings > General > Sounds and make sure that the Ringer and Alerts slider is all the way up. Now try the apps and see if they work. If not and your iPad's audio works on other apps such as Pandora then you need to contact the developers. Look on the BlueWizard author's page in the App Store and see if there are any contact details there. If not then you are out of luck.

After installing ios6 on my ipad 2 I can't stream video on Netflix and it locks up my router

After installing ios 6 on my ipad 2 I can't stream video off Netflix and when I try to it locks up my router is there a fix for this?

After installing Lion the system won't recognize the G-Tech External drive via USB, but reconnected to Firewire and works okay. Have an Apogee duet that needs the FW port, so really need to get the drive connected via USB. Appreciate any assistance.

E1500 wireless router having problems streaming video and netflix

We got a new E1500 router 2 nights ago. The internet works fine, but it has big trouble streaming videos and Netflix, those types of things. I have changed my MTU setting and all the settings suggested in the "Guide Me" section. My drivers are up to date on my router and on my pc. It just started happening with this router. We had a Netgear before and we have no problems streaming at all. I have rebooted and reset the router and cable modem.
Does anyone else have some suggestions I can try?
Thanks,
Debbie

The concern that you have is for both wired and wireless or just for the wireless? If it is for wireless then try these troubleshooting steps:
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
3] Then go to the Wireless tab, change Channel width to 20 MHz only and change the Channel to 6, 9, 11...Save the settings..
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.
Then check the status of streaming video and netflix.
