I was having some serious issues watching programs on the NP with NetFlix. I found that uninstalling and reinstalling NetFlix solved the issue. I went from getting a buffer issue at 10% full to uninterrupted streaming again.

When I watch YouTube video in hq using the YouTube app. The video loads quite slow and it buffers every 5 to 10 seconds. My WiFi speed gets 20mb/s. Watching low quality like 320p gives me no problem that I'm aware of. Any fix to this?
Hey,
I just got a TF300 and I've been trying to get video streaming to work on the tab. I'm using BubbleUPNP and I've tried about a dozen video players to go with it (dice player, vplayer, moboplayer etc etc).
The issue I'm having is that the video just randomly stops. I'm not having any issues relating to video quality or file formats. I'll be streaming a video and the video will just randomly stop, and because its streaming I can't resume at the same place I have to start again.
I have not yet managed to complete a single video without it being exited at a random interval. Its not always the same place, sometimes I'll get 20minutes in, other times 10minutes of the same video file.
I'm using iSedora media center to stream across my internal LAN. I've been using this program to stream to my TV without issues for over a year.
At the moment it looks like WiFi could be the culprit however
a) I've used WiFi Analyzer to find an unused channel for my router
b) I've tested the stream right next to my router at about -20dBm to -30dBm
c) I have tried a factory reset
d) I have tried 8dBi antenna and they just made my signal worse
Any assistance here would be amazing
Thanks

Have you tried UpnPlay?
Just so you can rule out the client.
i use emitapp for streaming - works perfectly over lan and at work.
it does allow resuming from a specific point in the video as well.
Hi,
Some of you may remember me from my "Android Kit Kat 4.4.2 on Motorola Xoom' thread. My Xoom WI-FI now has the latest ROM
4.4.2-20140207-1805+0100-wingray-HOMADE. I just loaded this version about 45 minutes ago. Earlier today I loaded the Netflix Android App
from the Google Play store. I started to play an episode of the Netflix Series House of cards. When the episode started the subtitles (captions) were enabled. So I touched the little icon on the screen and I chose no captions. Once I did that the program continued to play without any sound what so ever. So, I tried another program. I chose a Movie that I had never watched on any TV, Blu-ray player or other device.
The same phenomena occurred. Movie played with subtitles on, I turn them off and the sound stops playing. Yes, I even plugged in Headphones.
This Phenomena does not occur when i play movies through my FIREFOX browser on my PC nor does it occur on my TV or Blu-ray player.
So, I called NETFLIX tech Support. They had me try several things (like use another WIFI network in this case the WIFI hotspot on my phone) to see if the problem was related to my router.
Also, on my WIFI XOOM Tablet the playback of netflix Streaming freezes and the buffering circle spins. This may be also related to issues with the ROM and the Netflix Android app. I do have a Wireless N network and I am sitting in the room where the Router is.
None of these problems occurred with the last GOOGLE approved ROM.
The Netflix tech found my thread from January. It is possible that NETFLIX techs will be posting to this forum. So, has anyone had any issues with NETFLIX using this ROM?
Thank you in advance

I have not experienced any netflix issues with this ROM. I even use it through chromecast. I've tried what you stated and did not experience the issue.

I can confirm the behavior experienced by bigfootmd. Netflix is very sensitive and will stop playing sound. If you exit netflix and restart, sound is back. In addition, the HDMI output freezes and becomes unuseable, independent of the sound problem.
I am running 4.4.2.20140215-1029+0100-wingray-HOMEMADE
Domunus: when you play through Chromecast, your feed goes directly to the Chromecast device and does not pass through your xoom. Your xoom is simply a remote control. This is probably why you do not see the problem. When I cast, I do not see the problem either.
Hello
i purchased CS918 last week, and i have a little but annoying problem
when i stream a video it stops after exactly 5 minutes, if i open the streaming link again it will resume but still for exactly 5 minutes and stops again.
The video is smooth, doesnt freeze or anything.
In XBMC\Youtube it works fine, no stopping,
i tried changing players still doesnt help, tried switching between Wifi and Ethernet still the same.
Any suggestions?
Thank you
Was wondering if anyone else has experienced video Lag or buffering. I know it isn't a network issue because I didn't have the problem on my note 8.
issue : I will click on a video and it will usually start to play right away but 5-10 second in it will pause like it's buffering and not start back, even though I can see the video is downloaded just fine. I will have to skip ahead 5 seconds or so for the video to resume playing again.
is this an issue of anyone else or just me?
I have the Same in YouTube
No in fact the 7pro is getting 30% fast network speed then my OP6 was getting in the same areas. I am Using YouTube Vanced and I'm watching 1440p videos with zero buffering and the full videos are cached by the time I'm about 60% through the video. Have zero complaints with any streaming source so far.
Mine doesn't have any real issues. There are times where it slows but I attribute that to network. Most times it works fine
Streaming over Youtube and Netflix are perfect for me but video does play kinda funny over LAN. Some network browsers would buffer to no end and HW decoding is out of sync over LAN for some files. Switching network browser apps and use SW decoding solved the problem for me.

I have noticed the same over LAN. What did you do to use SW decoding if you don't mind me asking?

I use both MX Player and VLC. MX Player is probably the easiest. There is an icon on the upper right that says either HW, HW+ or SW. Press it to change decoding mode. The out of sync files are always either HW or HW+. Switching to SW and they are back in sync, for me at least.
Anyone know a workaround for apps like Netflix and MLB at Bat playing video completely full screen and displaying a stretched image?

For Netflix, two finger pinch.
