Attempting to access netflix via this system, selection loads, but hangs and never plays.

The same thing happens to me. Make sure you have updated the firmware once connected to the internet. It still hangs up from time to time after I did this, but much less often. Now it just requires a reboot of the system.

This happened to me, too. I installed updates but that did not work. Contacted Netflix; they blamed Samsung. Contacted Samsung and they blamed Netflix. Samsung said they'd mail a DVD to upgrade the software but they sent the wrong one. I gave up.

I encounter the same issue. When I want to use NetFlix, I turn the system off and let it restart, then go to "Settings" to see the "Network Status" which will show the connection you are getting (2 bars, three bars, etc.). I usually get two, sometimes three bars, if lucky). I then go to NetFlix from there and begin to load. There are times when I need to do this 2-3 times, but once I begin a movie, it usually carries through. And yes, great sound.

I got this item long time ago for my friend and and honestly I do not know if he try to connect or not. The only thing that I know is that has a great sound

I have the same issue from time to time. Turning off the system and turning it back on usually takes care of it. There is no true fix for the problem. If it continues to hang, you may just want to reset the system to factory defaults. One of my many hang-ups with this HTIB.

We have the same issue. We turn off the player and re-power. After the re-power Netflix will load the movie. We also found the movie needs to be in the instant queue to play. Good luck

Sorry to split hairs, but the server issues are on Netflix's end. Netflix has had server issues since they upgraded the interface the first week of June (they've since stopped rolling it out to all users). It seems to only happen during prime viewing hours though. If you are having problems with services other than netflix and at odd hours I'd look for another problem, either with the roku box itself, your router, or your ISP. I haven't experienced problems with other services but I don't use Amazon on Demand. There may be a correlation between netflix and amazon as I read netflix migrated to Amazon's servers. Try some of the other channels to determine if it's a problem with anything else (nasa tv? pandora? etc). Netflix's engineers are struggling to find the correct content to display on their main screen without overloading the servers, it changes almost daily. I expect they'll get it resolved soon but it's been a bad couple weeks for them. For more information check rokulab's user forum: http://forums.rokulabs.com/viewforum.php?f=28

Did you ever find a solution? I have uploaded the latest firmware and played around with the IP addresses etc. all to no avail. Blockbuster, Pandora and Firmware updates load but not Netflix.Phil Smith

make sure you're running the latest iOS and that you have a supported iphone. verify that you've updated to the lastest netflix. use the (i think) 4rth setting for input - i think it's apps or something... i really can't recall right now, but it's not music or video.

I can get it to load but not play, however I used my XBox360 and they have an app for instant video works great

It works for me (it skips and loses volume but I think that is specific to my player). Assuming you have a network connection (Network menu, connection status), after selecting Netflix it should come up to your sign-in screen. If that does not happen, maybe the sign-in info is bad--possibly left over from previous owner if the unit is refurb (unit I bought was refurb even though listed on web site as new). Have you tried resetting the player? I think there is a reset option on the Other menu.

Not sure what your error is, just got mine today and did an update. netflix was fine. I got netflix to work on my old ps3, wii and now this. Setup is awkward where you have to get info from your blu-ray player and look onto the computer, back and forth, but I got it done and it works fine. The PS3 layout is way better, you can search for movie, here all you get is what is in your queue.

Check the setup to make sure you have internet connection. If so go to PREMIUM icon, click on NETFLIX and login. I am an AMAZON PRIME user and have great success with their services. I am able to load NETFLIX to point of logging in or starting New 30 day trial.

It's in the software of the machine, should be able, if you have good wifi, to navigate to the netflix app under video. I do not use that part because it was not user friendly and I bought a smart tv.

I am not aware of a 'Netflix app' or a generalized streaming app, but I have had success watching Netflix on a browser.

All streaming video that I have tried so far works great but I do not have a Netflix account so I can not answer from personal experience as it is entirely possible that they may have a "block" on the output. It works fine with Crackle, Hulu, DroidTv(PVR), YouTube, and iMediaShare.

Could not load netflix today. I needed to download "silverlight" to view netflix and its was too much for my WolVol. It may work later.

I looked this up because I owned this player but it has been well over a year since I got rid of it. I dont recall being able to use Netflix from the device. A few forums talk about the same issue, however, tech support responds and says there is an option for it. Ultimately, I do remember being disappointed with this player. I would not recommend it.

Did the netflix app stopped working for anyone? I can very well see the listing but when i try to play it gives me that error message "cannot play the title right now. please try again later"

I'm like you, I bought mine back in July strictly for Netflix capability. FWIW, it's been working flawlessly since July on the earlier versions. Its just this latest (1.43) that screwed it up. I even tried installing an earlier working firmware version (1.27) by downloading off their support website where you burn it to a CD, put it in the tray and install directly. The unit comes back and says "Cannot install firmware. The unit has a more current version installed than the disc you are trying to use". So now, we're stuck until the fix comes.

I don't think this unit had that function. You can connect to Netflix in the setup menu.

I was not able to keep the device working long enough to find out. I was able to register it and connect to NetFlix. I strongly recommend you consider another blu-ray device.
