Playing Netflix movies a problem: Anyone else have this problem?

I had the same problem. Probably it caused by codec/software/drivers conflict. At the first glance it seemed playing Netflix movies flawlessly. After I downloaded and installed new Acrobat 9.2 (+ it automatically installed Acrobat Air), codec pack, and DivX it stopped play Youtube, Netflix, Hulu, etc. I made system restore to the clean state (as it arrived). Problem disappeared. I didn't figure out what exactly causes this problem, I just got my netbook few days ago and still testing it. I didn't experience problems like software conflicts before, and don't know much about it. BTW, before to buy Samsung, I tried ASUS 1005. Despite I didn't have any problem with ASUS performance (it is excellent, noticeably better than Samsung), I hated its loose and vibrating keyboard, and returned it. No regrets, just a hope that I do not have to return my N120.

I experienced the same issue. I disabled my network connection on my PS3 and the Universal movies loaded fine. It has something to do with the disc trying to connect to Universal's servers to access the extra content.

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.

Thank you. The problems occurred with Netflix discs. Did not have any problems with purchased Seinfield DVDs (I purchased the boxed set from Amazon). I guess I'll clean the Netflix discs before watching. Though-I did not have problems when I played the stuck Netflix DVD (not Blu), on my Sony DVD player. Maybe the DVD player is less sensitive than my Blu-Rayplayer.

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 have actually experienced this almost constantly since about 2 weeks after I first booted mine. It happens a lot with the Silver light plug-in that Netflix uses.

Yes, I have this problem with mine. I contacted Samsung Help and the response was - unplug the bluray and plug it back in and then it works, that is until you power it down and then it happens all over again. I am constantly unplugging it and plugging it back in to get the connectivity back with Netflix, like you, no problem with Pandora. I made another call to the Samsung 800 number and I explained the problem and the answer was....it shouldn't do that...the end result was that I got no help and all I got was a transaction number and never contacted back. Not happy at all with customer service. I'm probably going to go to where I purchased it to question this issue and if not resolved return it. This system cost too much money to have to keep unplugging and plugging back in to make a connection.

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.

Sorry, I don't use Netflix, so I can't help you. You might try the Sony support website, where you can find the full user guide.

While i had mine I didn't use for movies. But to my understanding Netflix will not work. It was an awesome tablet otherwise. Hope this helped.

With the last software update I have had trouble with logging in, it takes loading it 3 times for it to connect. No issues lately with Netflix

I am having the same issue. I check the network connection and it is fine. I can pick a movie in the Netflix app so I am connected to Netflix. I contacted Netflix and they gave me a list of lg blu ray players that they said LG provided them and this is not one of them. I've also contacted LG to see what their response is but I haven't gotten a response yet. Has anyone used Netflix with this blu ray player? If so, how did you activate it?

I cannot answer for Netflix since I do not have Netflix. However, I do have streaming with Amazon Prime, and it is ATROCIOUS!!! About a quarter of the movies I stream with this samsung player, will all of a sudden and out of the blue stop streaming. The frustrating thing is that when I try to restart the movie, it does not give me the "Resume Play" option, so I have to restart from the beginning and try to guess where it left off. The other day, I was watching "Fatal Instinct" and the player dropped the connection over a dozen times (Im not exaggerating) so frustrated and angry I decided to finish watching the movie on my pc and it never got disconnected once. My old Panasonic blu-ray player NEVER dropped the connection; instead it would pause and pop a screen saying it could not continue in HD and if the movie could continue in standard resolution. Furthermore, it seldom popped that screen.

I am having the same problem as mentioned above. For some reason, Netflix movies (Universal) are not playing and I receive a plain black screen. The numbers say 00:00:00 but play will not function at all. There are no more updates according to the system tools. I am at a complete loss. Streaming works great on my end. I do not have any problems with Netflix stream.

Ours works really well with Cinema Now, but 'reloads' periodically with Netflix.
