But if you use Netflix Plugin via inputstrea.adaptive (Software Decode 1080p) youll get regularly black screens for few seconds. 720p software decode works with more movies /series via netflix Plugin - but not all.

I've just watched Disenchantment S02E01 from netflix at 1080p24 with hyperion active on a RPi4 4GB and didn't notice and screen dropouts or other issues. So not quite sure what might be going wrong on your setup.

A rather common cause for screen blackouts, especially with CPU demanding content like software decoded video or power demanding peripherals like USB HDDs or DVD drives are marginal power supplies - if you're not using the official RPi power supply (I use that here and it's fine) or if you have one or more bus-powered USB HDDs you might look into that.

4k playback with the dispmanx grabber / Hyperion active results in no signal on the HDMI output. There's currently no workaround or solution available, reason for that seems to be that the RAM bandwidth is just too high. This is a known issue and it will be fixed eventually (but seems to be a bit low priority - it needs to be fixed in the RPi firmware so not much we can do about it).

The other issue I frequently see here is no HDMI signal at all after a cold boot (on my 4kp60 screen) if Hyperion is active. A simple workaround for that is to start Hyperion after Kodi has started, I'm using a simple systemd drop-in here to do that:

A make a video where you can see the problem. Most of Netflix series working with 720p (setting in input stream). if you going to 1080p with activate addon you got the issue. The same movie with deactive hyperion works fine.

since 4 dec 2023 netflix stopped using it on non certified systems /tvs /boxes
only solution is the build in netflix app in smarttv itself or install the "Mobile Version" from a APK on the formuler.
U only get 1080p with that.

it wont login with a Netflix Account, and yes de credentials are working fine in the smarttv itself and on the computer.
So the problem for most people is that we CAN download the Netflix app from the Green Market, we can cancel the update message, but after that Login will not work. (it keeps saying wrong pwd or loginname, but the account is legally working on the smarttv itself with that same credentials.

its probably because Netflix stopped the use of NON official apps on NON certified devices.

its the same on Z11 and Z10 devices. For both there is only one download in the Green Market for Netflix.

It worked before, but not anymore.

Bought TV new in Jan '15 and everything about it has been great until a couple of weeks ago. Now Netflix will randomly stop working and only comes back with a full TV factory reset. Sometimes it will work throughout a day then need a reset to work the following day. Sometimes you only need to come out of Netflix for a moment and it will not work if you go back in minutes later.

We have a Youview PVR connected to the TV via the same home hub and Netflix works fine on this playing to the TV via HDMI... but that's not the point as it's a feature of the TV we want to work without additional equipment.

I purchased a Smart TV model KDL-40W705C in October 2015 to upgrade from my KDL-32W5500. I wanted obviously full HD and streaming apps. Around mid December the picture started freezing on either Netflix, Amazon Prime, BBC iplayer or Demand5 and it has now become a regular problem. Thinking it was a broadband issue I would check using a speedtest on my PC and invariably it would be 60Mbs. So I knew that this was not the problem. Each time I have returned to the home screen only to see virtually all the apps gone. I then go to settings/network and go to refresh internet content and it states there is no internet. Is this a fault of the set which needs addressing or a server issue.

Now my problem is not just Netflix, it is all the apps. The problem is definitely the smart TV because I have performed a test say using Netflix. Netflix on the TV and at the same time on my Android tablet and Macbook. Same programme, TV stops working and states there is a problem with my internet, but the tablet and Macbook carry on playing, I then do a BT speedtest 64Mps, yes I am on Infinity 2 with a Home Hub 5.

Replying to @kfoto48, I would suggest that if you're connected by wifi from TV to Hub, that doesn't necessarily mean you have a good signal. For example, your TV may be too far from the Hub. You could try the following:

2. Click on Help (? Icon), click on Customer Support. Scroll down and click on Internet Connectivity Symptoms. Check connection results are found, OK and ok. Scroll further down and click on View Network settings and status. Check signal strength again. And check that you're connected to your Hub's SSID, BTHub5-xxxx or whatever.

You our could also try eliminating your wifi connection as a possible problem and connect the TV directly to your hub via a LAN connection (if you can move the TV close enough) and then running the Network setup again and choosing the direct connection option.

Thanks for the info. In both locations on the TV the strength indicator shows 2 bars. My router is within 4 metres of my TV, Laptop and tablet. Signal strength on laptop and tablet is 4 bars. I also use an app on my tablet which shows Wi Fi strength amongst other data like channel number, 2.4 or 5 Ghz, and it is at maximum. I think from reading elsewhere it is a Sony server problem. If it becomes a major problem I will get a streaming device.

As I stream from both Amazon Prime and Netflix, the problem of loosing connection applied to both. I decided that as my other equipment such as an Android tablet and a Macbook both on WiFi in the same location as the TV worked without failing, the fault must lie with the onboard TV computer. It is obviously unstable and I am not alone with this dilemma as I have read many others with a smiilar problem. This out rules a singular fault with my TV.

So I decided to perform a factory reset and upon setup did not enter my router's details. So the TV is now purely just a monitor. I then purchased an Amazon Fire stick as my media streaming device five days ago and it has never faulted on any application and I have tried them all at length. So without any doubt now I am 100% certain the onboard computer is faulty.

Well, just as I got used to using a smartphone or tablet to Cast Netflix to my TV that stopped working too. Netflix started taking a good 3-4 minutes to load on phone via WiFi then struggled to connect to my Chromecast, if at all. All other video services were working ok and I also noticed Netflix would easily load in seconds on my phone via a 3G or 4G mobile connection.

I have two Android tablets both with cast screen. Mirroring them was OK for about 20 mins or so, but then they lost connection with the TV. It was not the fault of the tablets, but the inability of the TV to keep this signal going.

I have read this thread with great interest as I have had exactly the same problem with my BT Hub 3 and Sony Bravia. Netflix shows the error code ui-113 no matter what I do. I even tried port forwarding. To no avail. I do think it is the interface between the firmware and have ordered a new hub 4 as advised from ebay. Fingers crossed.

I had a problem recently with Netflix on all our sony Tvs (including our Sony FMP-X5 netflix streamer box) about a month after moving to BT fibre, which now seems resolved. Sadly, its not clear which of the things I did actual resolved the issue so I'll list all three, and you might see if they work for you.

Next login into your BT account (on BT's website) and turn on parental filtering if it is not on, then turn it off, and delete the parental control filter that is listed. Rebooting your homehub might be wise at this point, and may speedup those BT DNS server changes.

If you can access that web page through your Sony device, then your device is routing to the domain that Sony's server is in. So hopefully this will trigger your ISP's DNS servers/filtering to allow the TV to route to that domain using other ports/protocols need to make netflix and other apps work.

This will install around 254MB of packages, mainly it will install wine-compholio (a custom version of wine that is able to run Silverlight) and dependencies. If wine is not installed already you may need to agree to use Microsoft fonts (in the text mode window use arrow keys or tab to reach the red "ok" button in text mode when it appears). The download/installation takes around 15 minutes.

If something went wrong in the installation (third party links are involved), don't panic: netflix-desktop will detect that something is missing and try to reinstall it, if that also fails, start over.

The window will open in fullscreen, which is very elegant, but if you want to have control over the window press F11 right away to exit fullscreen mode. (It may also ask to install a Firefox extension --specially designed-- that makes fullscreen mode more friendly.)
