Hi guys. The Microsoft Edge is my favorite browser of all times, really, but not when I try to watch netflix or other video streaming services, it always breaks, I have no ideia what to do anymore. Always when I try to play something there's an error and then I need to reload over and over again, sometimes even when I just play the video it stop working when I try to play again. Help me to keep using this best browser that I've ever seen.
I've ever tried to disable hardware acceleration, enable DRM content, install Microsoft Silverlight and a lot of other things, but I didn't get to watch so far without an error I keep receiving these error codes: D7356-7701 and others related. Is there's still something that can be done to really fix theses erros or I just have to be patient and wait for news versions of the browser?
Thanks to the folks at Microsoft and Netflix, I've gotten the new Xbox 360 console upgrade and have started watching Netflix movies on my Xbox this morning. A couple gaming sites have been doing some reviews as well and have raised a bunch of questions, some of which I have already asked Microsoft and Netflix and will update this post if I get answers.
The new Xbox 360 console update, which will be release to the public on November 19th, includes the highly anticipated ability to stream Netflix content to the Xbox 360 console as long as you are a Microsoft Live Gold customer and a Netflix customer.
After downloading the new console update and then downloading a small Netflix update, you active the streaming functionality by entering a code from your Xbox 360 into your Netflix account via the computer. From there, you can add Netflix videos into your watch now queue and they instantly show up on your Xbox 360. Navigating through your movies is done by going to the Netlfix box in the "Video Marketplace" channel which takes you to an app that allows you to very cleanly and very quickly flip through the movies in your queue. The movies are represented by cover artwork of each movie and even when you have a hundred or so titles in the queue, the app is super fast. I would compare the experience to being almost identical to flipping through albums in iTunes using Cover Flow. The only major downside here is that movies still have be added via the computer first, before they can be played back on the Xbox 360.
Once you select a movie, you get a screen with details about the video and the ability to rate the content as well as the ability to start, resume or remove the video. When you select play, the app checks your connection speed and buffers the video. For me, the videos buffered very fast and I never waited more than about ten seconds for any video to start. That may not be the startup time for the average consumer though as I am on a 20MB FiOS connection. While most movies are in SD, Netflix has to date made about 300 videos available in HD, many of which are TV series and not actual movies. Watching the SD movies on a 50" plasma screen looked amazing and HD is really incredible. The quality of the stream is all based on your connection speed and I am waiting on Netflix to hopefully give me details on the encoding bitrates being used. But the bottom line, the video quality is really, really good and in my eyes, is DVD quality with no frame rate issues.
Netflix and Microsoft have clearly thought about the experience, the ease of use and the quality of the videos being delivered and overall, I expect users will be very happy. That being said, this hands on review leaves me with three main questions that will dictate how successful the offering will be.
For starters, what is the business relationship and model behind the new service? With three parties involved, Microsoft, Netflix and content owners, whom is paying whom to make all this happen and how will money be made? I know this is a new service to start and hence, a clear business model has not yet been established. But over time, one will have to emerge.
Second, does the availability of getting movies on the Xbox 360 now mean that more content owners and in particular, major movie studios, will start giving Netflix the rights to encode and deliver more first-run movies? Hopefully so, but they still control the content and have a big say in the success that the Netflix service will have.
Netflix on Xbox 360 is an important component of the new Xbox experience, a new generation of games and entertainment experiences that will be available on Xbox 360 consoles this fall. The new Xbox experience, also announced today at the E3 Media and Business Summit, represents the first time in history that a mass-market consumer electronics device has been re-invented through free software, giving people more fun and intuitive ways to interact, play and enjoy entertainment content.
From the Netflix Web site, members simply add movies and TV episodes to their individual instant Queues. Those choices will be automatically displayed on the TV screen via Xbox 360 and available to watch instantly. Once selected, movies will begin playing in as little as 30 seconds. In addition to instantly streaming movies to the TV, Xbox LIVE Gold members can fast-forward, pause and rewind, all using either their Xbox 360 Controller or Media Remote. In all, the user interface creates a highly personalized experience that puts viewers in control.
The library of movies and TV episodes that will be available for instant streaming from Netflix via Xbox 360 includes scores of Academy Award winners and nominees, episodes from a number of popular, currently running and classic TV shows, and 24 of the movies rated by the American Film Institute as the greatest ever.
Today, Xbox LIVE members can also download movies and purchase TV shows from the industry-leading Xbox LIVE Marketplace Video Store, currently packed with content from more than 45 networks and studios. The Xbox LIVE Marketplace Video Store offers more than twice the high-definition content than the nearest cable provider and more than 6,000 hours of TV shows and movies.

I have verified with resources here and can confirm that there are no such similar issues reported. Are you looking for assistance to block Netflix stream in-order to retain bandwidth on the network? Streaming Netflix may cause bandwidth issues but under many conditions such as ISP provided bandwidth is low, stream happens during peak hours when users are in being productive, etc,.
I don't want to block Netflix. My client wants his Netflix to work like it did before we added the SonicWall appliance. The latency just gets really bad. I'm new to Sonicwall and would like to fix his issue but nothing seems to work.
Thanks for providing me some background about the issue. If the bandwidth issue persists only for Netflix stream, could you please check if you have configured any Bandwidth Management on the SonicWall? Please use below KB article as a reference to locate the BWM settings on the SonicWall.
@ChristianSHansen Hello. First, I would suggest opening a support ticket. Second, you could create a new rule just for Netflix and disable DPI or add exclusions for some of the Security Services (GAV comes to mind). Third, you could implement a QoS mechansim. There are many potential items to look at.
Once again, may best to speak with support and get some knowledge transfer as well. BTW, I typically have every TV in the house using a streaming service (Netflix, Prime, u name it,) and I will be on Xbox listening to youtube and sometimes downloading. I have done all this and more on a 570, 670, 2700, 2650, etc. It's just a learning curve sir. Open a support ticket and report back with your solution or ask your local SE to assist as well. - Sincerely, Marco Octavian
Okay, I have not configured any Bandwidth Management. Pinging the SonicWall's LAN interface IP I only lost 1 packet. My client doesn't want to pay for a support contract. We have not licensed any Security Services. We only purchased the TZ270. Where do I go to view the Logs? I think I found the System Logs under the Logs menu found in the Monitor navigation menu. I don't see any errors or anything like that.
I tried that but it didn't seem to help any. Now I cannot connect to the internet even when no video streaming is happening. When I reboot the firewall it allows traffic for about 2 minutes and then it is completely hosed again. As Saravanan suggested I am going to do a factory reset and start over.
No you will not, if you are using the same email address with EE and Sky, Netflix will see the plan without ads (which is now no longer available) as the higher plan and you will stay on the plan you have with EE. I can speak from confidence as I was In a similar position.
Nope you can link the sky and Netflix accounts, as you can link the EE and Netflix same account. I have EE and Sky linked to the same Netflix account. Netflix will take the priority from the higher subscription and show that. I am in this position so can talk from a factual position
