Problem playing Netflix

Hi all, I'm new to the apple, but have been converted after getting the iPad 2 and iPhone 4s. Just got a apple tv but am having problems using Netflix, it keeps freezing and buffering, it does this for about 30 seconds then plays ok for a while and then it happens again. Not sure if this is an apple or Netflix issue.
I have plenty of bandwidth as I have a 50mbps connection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No DNS setting are the same have never changed them. Think I will have to assume that it's Netflix and hope they sort it out at some point.
It's a shame as its the only downside to a fantastic product.

  • Problem to play Netflix on Apple TV

    Hi
    I can play Netflix movie on Apple TV to start off, however, after a few moment, picture disappears from screen but can still hear sound. This is Apple TV was bought last week and latest software is installed. Any suggestion please?

    Also if you have the first gen black box (the small one latest Apple TV) and upgraded it went from 720 to 1084 and the resolution is to much the the first black box Apple TV version cause there is not enough memory. If you where to buy a Apple TV today it will work cause there is more memory. You can turn down the resolution to 720 and things will go back to the way they were before.

  • HT5900 I've just bought my Apple TV 3rd gen and set it all up but when I play netflix I get a picture but the sound is a really loud cracking sound. Does anyone know how to fix this??

    I've just an Apple TV set it all up but when I play netflix the sound is really crackling. I can't hear anything else but the crackle. I can see the movie fine..

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • HDCP problem on Netflix?

    Streaming on Netflix has been working for me perfectly fine for the past 2 years that I've had the ATV 2. Now all of a sudden I am getting an HDCP error when trying to finish watching a show on Netflix which was just streaming fine 10 minutes ago.
    I've tried all the troubleshootings, from checking the HDMI cable to switching it around. I've also restarted the ATV. Streaming works fine everywhere else, I'm just getting this HDCP problem through Netflix all of a sudden.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated... thanks!

    High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection(HDCP; commonly, though incorrectly, referred to as High-Definition Copy(right) Protection) is a form of digital copy protectiondeveloped by Intel Corporation to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across connections. Types of connections include DisplayPort (DP),Digital Visual Interface (DVI), and High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), as well as less popular, or now defunct, protocols like Gigabit Video Interface(GVIF) and Unified Display Interface(UDI).
    Meaning, someone doesn't want you to be able to play the movie on the screen because of copyright reasons.
    Sorry. (I know, DRM sukcs!!)

  • Safari stops while playing netflix

    Hi,
    After installing yoshemite every now and then my safari just stops while I'm playing netflix. It does not happen every time and sometimes it takes more than an hour before it happens but very regularly safari just quits. I cannot find where this is coming from nor how to fix it. I cannot find strange add-ons or plug-ins and everything is up to date. It only happens with netflix. If I reopen safari and open netflix again, I can just easily continue watching where I stopped but it is very annoying... Anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
    Thx!

    No i wont. mostly because Safari just works the best of all internet browsers. and secondly IT IS MICROSOFT, so i will not use IE8. And apart of my problem it works just fine.
    But thanks anyways

  • My Aple TV refuses to play Netflix.

    Frequently, my Aple TV 2nd gen refuses to play Netflix but everything else streams fine.  A complete reset and resetup is required when this happens.  It is getting to be a problem. i have the latest software.  Any Suggestions?

    When I select play I get the spinning disk for about 5 seconds then back to the same screen.  No errors.  It simply refuses to play.  Logging out and back does no good.  I must reset my Apple TV to correct the problem and this works every time.  it's getting to be a big PITA.

  • Problem Playing Video in Premiere Pro CS4

    I am having a problem playing video in premiere pro. When I input any movie clip and try to play it in both the timeline and in the preview mode, the audio works fine but the video only plays a few seconds worth of footage at a really slow pace so that it takes up the entire time. For instance if I load a 3 minute video, the sound is normal but over the coarse of that 3 minutes I will only see a small number of the frames and they are cycled through in ultra slow motion.
    All the clips play normally outside of premiere. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program. I have premiere installed on my laptop and it works fine. I have tried rendering the video first and it still doesn't work. I have tried holding shift before the program is loading and it did nothing. I have downloaded all the updates too. Videos seem to play fine in After Effects.
    Also, I am having trouble when importing HD video into premiere and after effects. For some reason the programs freeze when I try to import footage from my Creative Vado HD pocket video camera.
    Here are my computer specs
    Windows Vista Ultimate 32 Bit
    Intel Core2 Quad q8200
    ATI Radeon 4670 Graphics Card
    Gigabyte Motherboard
    4GB of 800 Mhz RAM
    This is really frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Keith,
    The file extension .AVI indicate a "wrapper." All sorts of stuff can be in that wrapper *. Some of that stuff will play/edit fine. Much will not and create issues, as you have seen. Your camera uses a CODEC to create those .AVI files. That CODEC is the issue. I recommend G-Spot to find out what the CODEC is. Some times it's just a matter of having the proper CODEC installed on the computer. Most of the time, it takes much more than that - hence Eddie's links on "conversion." At least G-Spot will get us all on the same playing field, and explicit help can follow - probably to study Eddie's links. My guess is that your camera uses some form of DivX CODEC, hence the problem that you see.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    * Think of .AVI like the foil wrapper on a stick of gum, when you remove the outer lable. You know it's gum, but not what flavor. Could be Juicyfruit, or Spearmint, or Double-mint. G-Spot will tell you the flavor. PrPro likes some flavors, but hates others.

  • Problem with netflix after upgrading to firefox 6

    now that I have upgraded to firefox 6 I can't instant watch netflix anymore. please help I'd rather not have to use a different browser to do this.

    '''SOLUTION'''
    The problem with Netflix streaming with the FireFox 6.0 version is that the Netflix service '''refuses '''version 6.0 because they are A) unwilling to license it '''''or''''' B) too lazy or stupid to add the new version to their User Agent acceptance scheme. C) under contract to MICROSOFT to use Silverlight and part of Silverlight's DRM is what Browser versions are acceptable and Microsoft is taking their sweet time updating Silverlight to push I.E. on people and if you have Beta 5 Silverlight forget that -------Until Netflix accepts Firefox 6.0 as a legitimate Netflix browser '''you may do what I have done to get Firefox 6.0 streaming at Netflix.'''
    1) Open Firefox 6.0 and enter "www.whatsmyua.com" without quotations in the address bar and highlight and copy your present User Agent string from the top of that page when you get there.
    2) Type "ABOUT:CONFIG" without quotations in the Firefox address bar and hit enter then answer the You might destroy the world question with Alright I'm ready.
    3) Right click on the background of the Config screen and then highlight to click on the "New String" choice... When the box comes up enter "general.useragent.override" without quotations and hit return
    4) When another box appears paste in your current User Agent string you copied in step 1) BEFORE hitting enter place your cursor on your paste and right arrow to the end of the line. EDIT/REPLACE "6.0" with "5.0.1" without the quotations. Enter your change and close out the Config page.
    5) Repeat step 1) to make sure the User Agent string is now spoofing your browser as version 5.0.1
    6) Go to Netflix and watch movies (Make sure Silverlight and the Firefox Java are on). If it was working before the upgrade, everything should now work again streaming Netflix with Firefox 6.0.
    7) Call Netflix and tell them Dave sent you to see if they're stupid or just lazy and to quit spreading the B.S. that Firefox 6.0 ain't workin when we know it's Netflix (1-866-636-3076)

  • How do I get an activation code for my apple tv to register it to netflix, can't play netflix

    i have been using netflix for years and now it wont let me playback because I have to register my device with netflix. How do I get activation code from my apple tv?

    I'm having the same problem, in the United States.  Netflix had been working fine on ATV2, and then suddenly doesn't.  Its keeps saying the Netflix account or password is invalid.  They aren't.  Netflix continues to work fine on iPhone and MacBookPro using the same wifi and isp, also all in the United States.
    The "activation code" people are refering to is what Netflix is asking for to "activate your device" when trying to work the problem through Netflix.  My bluray player gives such an activation code.  ATV2 apparently doesn't, so it's a dead-end trying to troubleshoot this stupid thing.  Does anyone have any input other than, "you need to get on something called The Internets and activate something called a Netflix Account, then you simply log into that account and your problem will go away"?  Because that's not helping.

  • Creative Zen 32GB "There is a problem playing this audio" AAC

    GCreative Zen 32GB "There is a problem playing this audio" AACZ All right, this is driving me nuts. I have a Zen 32GB and a Vista 32-bit machine. I have been encountering a lot of problems playing AAC files on my Zen--many of the tracks stop short, and the error message "There is a problem playing this audio" appears.
    These are AAC files that I ripped off my own CDs using iTunes, so there are no DRM issues. ? I'm not sure if the problem lies in the actual ripping process (although the problem tracks play on my iPod without problem), the importing into my Zen using Zen Media Explorer, or my Zen trying to play the tracks. I've tried turning off my antivirus program, as well as checking the box in iTunes that double-checks for audio errors after ripping. I thought at first that it could be related to scratched CDs, but it also happens with pristine CDs.
    I have latest firmware (.2.03) installed, and also the latest version of Zen Media Explorer.
    I've searched this forum as well as Google for this exact error message, and don't get any related hits. Can anyone out there help me? Please?

    Thanks for that response--I was beginning to feel a little neglected. It's disappointing, though--one of the reasons I bought the Zen was because it advertised AAC compatibility, so that I could have just one library of AAC files for my iPod and Zen, instead of entirely duplicate libraries of AAC and WMA files. Most of the AAC files I've imported into the Zen play fine--I just have to check all of the tracks to see which ones have that audio error. Usually, if I re-import the track, it comes out fine (eventually).

  • 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 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.

  • Problems playing mp3s after installing iTunes 7.1

    I installed iTunes 7.1 today. After that, I have problems playing mp3 songs on my iPod (80 GB). The AAC-files play well. The mp3 songs can also be played on iPod via iTunes when its connected to my computer, but when I disconnect from the computer, the mp3 songs starts, and play for about 2 second, and then jumps to the end of the song and stop.
    Very thankful for any help.

    that's typically caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
