Streaming Netflix via Pro to TV

Hello,
I would like to stream movies from Netflix on the Macbook Pro to my TV. I bought a Moshi Mini Displayport to HDMI Adapter and plugged into the laptop. I then removed the HDMI cable from my DVD player and plugged it into the adapter. I followed the directions in the set up guide to go to "Sound" in System Preferences to change output to "Built in HDMI Output", but nothing appears and I can't stream on to my tv. Any ideas how to stream or what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks.

Ok .. you need to select the corresponding video input in your tv set
At the end that's where your audio and video will arrive if all goes well ..
If you mean there is no audio on your mac it's perfectly normal because you have just routed it to the TV ..
and hdmi cable carries audio and video together..
try to verify these before replacing your adapter
also your macbook pro needs to be one of the newer 2010 models to be able to send audio over the hdmi

Ipad Streaming Netflix via HDMI Cable Again

My Ipad quit streaming Netflix to our TV through an HDMI cable in early October, right after iOS 7 and the Netflix software update came out. Netflix issued version 5.02 in late October, and siad that fixed the problem. But that still did not help. Now Applle has issued iOS 7.0.4 to fix some bugs. They did not indicate that this was one of the bugs. But we can now stream to the TV over the HDMI cable again.

No. The Videos app should work fine.

Sorry, I don't quite understand your question. Amongst other things that's exactly what the Apple TV does, is streaming video from a computer.

Can I stream Netflix from my iPhone 4 to my MacBook Pro?

Can I use my iPhone 4 (AT&T) to stream to stream Netflix to my (Dec, 2010) MacBook Pro? . . Would it be possible with an iPhone HDMI adapter, a HDMI cable and a HDMI to mini displayport adapter?
Are there other streaming non-music media services that might work as well.
There seems to be a fare number of people who would be interested in utilizing there unlimited data package on a bigger hi-res screen.
Thank you for you're help.

The mini-Displayport is for output only — you can't feed a signal into it. I suppose there's a chance that this ability may become available through the Thunderbolt port in the 2011 and later models, but we'll have to wait and see.

When instant streaming Netflix on my Macbook Pro, the sound is very very low even when sound controls are set at highest level.

When instant streaming Netflix on my Macbook Pro, the sound is very very low even when sound controls are set at highest level. I do not have this problem when listening to TV or watching movies streamed from DishNetwork. I contacted Netflix and they had me install a newer version of their software Silverlight... this did nothing to resolve the issue. They were not familiar with the issue.

Well if your on 10.6.2, you need to software update to 10.6.8
Perhaps you need to adjust the Silverlight (Microsoft DRM video plug-in) sound level itself too
Run a check here to see if your current on your Silverlight (works for all browsers)

Use another browser like Firefox and see if it continues.
Try another video file. They all have their own sound levels too.

Want stream Netflix to blueray via Airport Express wifi. The blueray finds my wifi but the wireless connection failed - said, Ensure DHCP server is enabled on router and restart router. Don't think I have DHCP server. Suggestions anyone?

Want to stream Netflix to blueray player via my existing Airport Express wifi. The player finds my wifi but the wireless connection fails - says, " Ensure DHCP server is enabled on router and restart router." I don't think I have a DHCP server. Suggestions anyone?

I can't speak specifically regarding LG, but the Whole Home feature on Direct TV (record a movie on one DVR and watch it on another TV in another location) just won't work with wireless, and I have a strong fast connection at 300 Mbps. Ethernet works perfectly.
Few audio/video products will accept "n" wireless at 5 GHz. I suspect that your LG accepts a 2.4 GHz signal, which would top out at 130 Mpbs.
If you are trying to stream High Definition video, especially at 1080P, my opinion would be that it is unlikely that you will be able to do so reliably using wireless.
Perhaps another user who has figured out how to do this will post with some input.

Streaming netflix on my TV via a cord connenction no longer working?

My cord that connects my Ipad to my TV does not appear to work with the new upgrade. I get a message that says the video does not work with the device. I used to be able to stream netflix. Can I fix this, or was this capability taken away?

Problem streaming netflix/youtube

2010 mac book pro with running 10.6.7. my problem is that when using either firefox, safari or chrom when i stream videos from netflix or youtube, the stream dies somewhere in the middle of the video. there hasn't been any consistency as far as where i lose the stream. sometimes netflix will buffer 30 minutes, sometimes 90 minutes, sometime less than a minute. with youtube, an average 4 minute clip gets halted after a couple minutes or so. with youtube, if i change the resolution of the clip from say 360 to 480, that jump starts the video stream again, although sometimes that stream dies too.
i don't think this is a problem with my router because when i stream netflix onto my xbox it works fine, and when i run windows 7 via bootcamp, my pc browsers stream videos better. also when i watch videos on hulu.com (while running os x) i don't have these streaming problems.
anyone have any thoughts or has faced this problem before?
thanks

try update firmware of this router and try to change channel
maybe there is some interferences

Streaming Netflix from an Ipod Touch to a TV

I want to stream Netflix from my iPod touch 2G via composite av cable to a TV and it isn't working. I can stream music videos so I know the av cable is good and I tried changing the video settings. Any suggestions? I already have an Apple TV but I want to be able to stream this to a different TV.

I believe the Netflix app prevents video output from i-devices. Not all apps can output video, and in this case it may be a film distribution requirement that Netflix needs to comply with, silly as that may sound since you can stream Netflix from ATV.

Can I stream Netflix from iPad to iTV?

is there a reason iPad won't stream Netflix to iTV? I heard you can send it via hardwire from an iPad.

Hey .. no blasting intended (sorry if my post came across as harsh).
I was just trying to shed some light upon a legitimate reason as to why someone would want to "AirPlay" (streaming or not as I explained) NetFlix through to AppleTV.
As it stands, if I want to accomplish the above, I have to basically set up the movie from scratch (save the "find the spot where I am in the film" of course, as there is the "resume" feature of course).
Being able to walk in your front door (or walk down from a bedroom/kitchen) and BLIP NetFlix right onto the screen with a simple touch of an icon would be quite nice.
But then again, I guess manually turning the AppleTV on, clicking over to NetFlix, going to "recently watched", clicking the movie, then clicking "Resume" .. isn't THAT big of a deal. But still.
Know what I mean?
But again, in no way was I meaning to offend. People like you are the back-bone of support forums! So kudos to you ten folds!
Still hoping to edit a favorites list and the history though! Mind boggeling why this hasn't been implemented yet. From what I gather, you have to cancel your subscription and re-subscribe to clean your history. Ludicrous! And even then, it erases ALL your history, not just the films you happened to look into and happened to skip. Now my history is littered with random movies that technically are NOT movies I've watched. In effect, my history is actually a useless feature due to this (for the most part). Ahh frustrations with seemingly simple technology.
Just venting really. It's another issue altogether, yeah?
Cheers!

Since my last software update, I cannot stream netflix

Please help. Since my last software update, I cannot stream Netflix movies. What is the solution?

MichelPM is correct. Here's my experience.
MacBook Pro / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better. Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG. However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.
This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success. So here's what I did:
1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
[also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
5. Go back to the Get Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

Cannot stream Netflix on TV with airport at the same time.

I have called every 800 number with an Indian accent available. I have called Comcast, Samsung, and my local Apple dealer. They all say i need to call each other's support network. No help. They just read from a computer a response that I have by now memorized. I'm about to send my new Samsung 2500 back to Amazon.
Here's the deal: I have a Comcast modem for internet and phone. I have a Netgear router. I have a Samsung Blu-ray 2500 DVD player that streams NetFlix and I have Airport Express. After hours of fidgeting, I have finally figured out that I can either stream NetFlix or get internet for my MacBook but not both. Period. So, I can run my Airport wireless or my Netflix on TV but not both. I am somewhat techno impaired but in some of the discussions someone mentioned that you cannot have two IP addresses for one cable OR you cannot have one IP address and run NetFlix and surf the web on your laptop. The second seems absurd. In the very fine print, Samsung says that some IP's will not let you stream NetFlix. Does anyone know if that is true with Comcast? Comcast themselves didn't know (honest! - at least not the boiler plate email I got back said they didn't). It honestly starts to get funny when I go through all the set up online with my Samsung and then they give me a password to start streaming movies. BUT, to do this, I must disconnect my Samsung to get online with my laptop to plug in the password. By the time I do that, the password time has expired! LOL!! Besides, I don't even think it would work by the time I switched back to "live" NetFlix. So, I have all this stuff and I still can't watch a movie on TV.

I guess that there is 2 possibilities that I can think of.
One is that you are using a single IP address and only one device is getting it at any given time. However with a router I would not think that this is the issue. But just to be sure... I am assuming that the Netgear router's WAN/Internet port is connected to the Comcast modem. The Netgear router should be configured with it's DHCP services enabled. I am assuming that the AirPort Express (AX) is connected via Ethernet to one of the Netgear router's LAN ports. The AX should be configured to act as a bridge (not sharing a single IP address).
The other possibility is that the bandwidth is getting entirely consumed by the Samsung Blu-ray and the MacBook has no opportunity to get any data.

Can't stream audio via Airplay to Denon X4000 receiver

I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro with 13-inch Retina Display. It came preloaded with Mavericks. I'm trying to stream audio via airplay to my Denon X4000 receiver which is airplay certified. For some reason airplay only works with iTunes. If I go into the sound preferences in Mac OS X my Denon X4000 receiver is listed as an audio output device but OS X won't let me click on it. It immediately reverts back to the laptop's internal speakers. I just recently started having this problem as of tonight when I tried to listen to music from Google Play Music. Has Apple decided to force iTunes down everybody's throat? How do I fix this?

This is from the Web page at Denon, confirmimg what you have found. I don't know if it is a Denon restriction or Apple.
http://usa.denon.com/us/product/pages/productdetail.aspx?catid=avreceivers(denon na)&pid=avrx4000(denonna)
Equipped with Apple’s AirPlay function, the AVR-X4000 lets you stream your favorite tracks from your iPod touch, iPhone and iPad via your home network. You can also access your favorite iTunes tracks from your computer or connect your portable device directly via the front panel USB port.

Streaming Netflix

The quality of my Netflix streaming is very poor.
I feel there is something on my Mac that is corrupting the stream.
1. My download modem speed is great: 20 mbs (more or less).
2. I empty cache before I stream a movie.
3. The picture quality is extremely poor with out of sync voice. Sometimes jerky video.
4. I have a suspicion that a downloaded app calld Goggle Music Manager may be the problem.
5. I disconnected my WiFi router and that improved the stream somewhat.
6. I called Netflix and they sent me an email that basically told me to bypass WiFi.
I think this is a minor fix because I know many people who also stream Netflix with superb results.
Any help would be fantastic.
Dan

I'm not all that technically-inclined, so I don't know if the following will help, but it might.   This is for a Silverlight software update. I noticed that Firefox streams Netflix better, too. My Internet speed is 50mbps, but I don't know if that is a significant advantage. But Netflix prompted me to download a Silverlight update, so maybe if you update Silverlight on your own, it will improve your experience. Worth a shot.

Multiplex a mpeg2 video and audio stream recorded via a satellite receiver

I would like to know if upgrading to QuickTime pro and/or adding the QuickTime MPEG2 add-on would allow me to multiplex a mpeg2 video and audio stream recorded via a European satellite receiver (like the Aston Xena 1800 HDU) in order to make movies that can later on be converted to be viewed on my iPod.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.9)

No. The MPEG-2 component is to play MPEG-2 not encode it.
Use Toast. I assume you have separate audio and video transport streams, if they are named identically (1.m2v and 1.m2a) Toast will detect that and multiplex into a new MPEG-2. If not , add the video stream to Toast, which will ask for an audio stream to go with it. Either way it makes an MPEG-2 anew.
Of course you cannot use MPEG-2 in iPod so rip that DVD (Toast can make just an image and you can mount that) to get the VOB file, then use MPEG Streamclip or iSquint to convert the muxed MPEG-2 file to MP4 suitable for iPod.
Note I am very curious - are you sure this device delivers separate audio and video streams? Not a proper muxed MPEG-2 file? If the latter then just MPEG Streamclip or iSquint will do.
