NetFlix Streaming Problem - Sony BDP-N460: Does anyone have any advice?
1715478
I just tried streaming (wired connection) with Sony BDP-BX37 and Sony BDP-BX57. Installed latest update on both. After a few minutes of streaming it pauses, gets into the "Loading, Please wait..." mode and doesn't resume at all after that. My internet provider was on the line running tests when it happens and didn't see any problem from his side. It happens not only with Netflix but with YouTube as well. I can stream fine from my PC, or from my Sony XBR9 TV. I am sure there is a major flaw in the firmware of the Sony BDPs. Maybe they don't work well with certain routers. I have a D-Link 624.

I found that if I change the setting on the BD390 to 1080i, then I DO get audio when streaming Netflix. There is no audio if I set it to 1080p or "auto" when streaming Netflix. Hope this helps other people out as well.

I don't have a slow Netflix problem, but I do have a "flashing black screen" problem. This appears as an occasional flickering or a short blackout. Otherwise, the streaming is the best I have seen so far.

Our Panasonic BD220 stopped connecting to Netflix about two days ago. It hasn't resolved itself yet. Network connection seems to be good and I can stream other material (like youtube). Really frustrating. Only had the unit for about two months. Don't have time for dealing with Tech support right now though. Anyone else having weird spontaneous issues like this currently? (June 10, 2012).

Try updating to the latest firmware first. Mine never buffers that I have noticed and I am able to watch netflix in super hd through a blu ray player. I have Cox cable.

Hey. I replied to your post in the other thread but I'll write you here in case you don't see it. You have to go into Options and then press Initialize (to reset the system to factory settings). This gets rid of the bug. It showed up on an older firmware and seems to stay around until you do this. I have heard that it also works if you click 'Deactivate Netflix' and then re-activate it, but it's better to be safe by resetting the unit to the factory settings in case there were some other bugs that could be removed to. Hell, you might as well do both just to be really sure. Deactivate Netflix, and then Initialize Settings.

I could get mine to connect but continued getting error messages when I tried to access Netflix even though the Netflix site came up. So, I called emailed them and none of the fixes worked. If I were you I would return it and either purchase a Blue Ray player with wireless capabilities or get a Roku. I have a Sony Blue RFay wireless player and it works great. I paid $100 for it. I also have a Sony for the TV in my computer room and it is wired to my router via ethernet cable and it works great. The Rikomagic is a great idea if it would just work.

Do not buy as netflix constantly locks up. Samsung should update firmware, but it doesn't seem to care.

I have this device and the Logitech revue as well. The problem you mention above was not an issue with either set-top box but with Netflix. I had the same error as well a few days ago but was gone after a few minutes.

J.F I haven't had any problems lately, however the titles I mentioned above still will not load. I've called Sony but all they wanna say is make sure your firmware is updated. I haven't tried WoO, but Ill try it tonight when I get home. Hopefully its just your disc from Netflix...

I just chatted online with a Sony tech rep who said that the BDPS560 does *not* "stream the videos from online", and said that "feature is available with the BDPN460 only".

Shyam, make sure you've downloaded the latest update for this tablet. There was a Netflix issue with the original firmware that has been fixed. If you've already updated just check every volume control everywhere... especially Netflix itself to make sure the volume isn't muted.

Hi, I have the sony bdp-bx57. I have it all set up and it works great except for my netflix. When I go to netflix all I get is what is in my instant Que, other people tell me that they can search for the movies they want by category or title search or favorites or how ever they want. What do I need to do so I can see more than just what is in my instant Que. Any help will be appreciated, Rick

The Samsung BR player has the same thing. Most likely an issue with Netflix and not the manufacturers of the BRPs.

Hi Action101, Sony BDPS580 Blu-ray Player has wi-fi capability and can stream videos from Netflix Youtube. Etc. -Vincent
