Hello. I installed the extender. All works fine besides Netflix streaming. I can get I to Netflix but streaming does not work. It times out. I tried to only enable the 5 Band or also with or without the same name. The problem persist. What can I do? The streaming works on the base station WIFI. Thank you in advance. P.S. I am on the newest firmware.

Speed via extender looks fine compared to router. So you shouldn't face issues while streaming Netflix. May I know from what device are you trying to stream Netflix? What is you try from a different device just to find out where issue could be?

For about the last week my Netflix channel is very slow and then freezes while trying to stream on my TCL Roku TV. I checked for updates, nothing. I deleted and re-downloaded the channel, nothing. My account is working just fine on my phone, but not on the TV. Is it just me? Any ideas on how to fix this?

It's not just you. I have the same problem, but it's been happening for at least 6 months. There is major lag when navigating in the app, and then it soon freezes. I usually have to turn the TV off to be able to get back in.

I have similar weird lag with the volume controls when I'm in the HBO Max app. I also have a TCL Roku TV. I have tried deleting and replacing the app, and system restarts. Restarting sometimes seems to help for a day, but then the problem returns.

@Mionephoenix- After removing a channel, best practice is to restart your Roku to clear its memory before reinstalling the channel. Did you do this?

Restart via Settings > System > System restart (for Roku TVs: Settings > System > Power > System restart)

What I'm reading indicates the reinstallations you're doing aren't being done the right way. The order I see it listed is incorrect. There is a correct order, and that order is important. Now, this doesn't guarantee this will resolve, but the troubleshooting you are attempting isn't being done correctly.

I'd be happy to take a closer look to see how we can help get you up and running.
A few questions here to better understand what you're experiencing:
1. Are you using a Roku TV or a Roku device?
2. Does the issue only occur on a specific channel or all channels on your Roku device?
3. Are you receiving error messages or codes when accessing the channel?
4. What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far to try to resolve the issue?

Please be guided through this link if you are experiencing any channel playback issue in the Roku device: How to resolve a channel playback issue Official Roku Support
Please keep us posted and we'll continue assisting you from there.

I just ran a test on my MacBook and it streams fine here. I run a Nokia gateway here and it is on the most recent firmware available. Maybe it has something to do with the gateway you have or there is something going on with the network in that location. That might need a bit more troubleshooting there. Not sure what you are streaming to maybe it is worth trying another client.

If your streaming to the TV was not working you could check to see if the application on the TV is in need of an update. It might be software on the TV that is resulting in the problem. I have seen times when I had to update the Netflix application so it would work. Clearing the cache for the application might help. It has been some time since I had to play that game with it. I have seen times when one of my devices needed an update and that impacted services working until I did the update. I know I have seen such issues on the Windows clients here. I have seen less with the Apple devices and/or my Linux clients. Between the clients and the Playstation, Xbox, WiiU, and Switch and the AV receiver I stay busy at times keeping all the tech here working as no one else here has much of a clue.

Good point. Yesterday I checked for updates on the Netflix app as well as the Vizio. They were both current. Just to be safe I deleted the Netflix app and reinstalled it. Also Netflix provided a link so that I could clear the cache. All to no avail.

Does your TV have multiple HDMI inputs? If so you could connect a FireStick and stream to the TV with a FireStick and have Netflix delivery direct to the Visio that way. It seems like a problem with the Visio TV or the application on the TV.

If you can stream to the TV from your client that might do the trick. Our TV is not that smart so I have to deliver content via the Pioneer Elite AV receiver. That actually works quite well for us. I have been told so many times to just get a smart TV. Well, the Sony TV still works and does 1080p and the lamp is cheap to replace so until it dies it lives on in our house. I added a FireStick to our solution as I find the Xbox interface to be a bother. The FireStick works great and was super easy to get connected. It was fast and just super easy to get connected. Much more so than some of the other things.

So once you get the stream launched on the phone then when you connect from the hotspot back to the gateway for content delivery through the gateway the session will continue and you can then stream the video?

So the TV with the Netflix app cannot connect to the server and just presents that screen on the TV but if you feed the service through the hotspot, get the server connection made then switch the content delivery back sourced across the gateway the content stream will continue. This is not just a brief run of cached information? The service will continue to stream. Very odd the application cannot make a connection to the server from the app on the TV. I still tend to believe the Netflix application is a HTML based communication on 433 secure HTTP. Maybe it has something to do with credentials delivery.

Between chats I again pulled up Safari and went to Netflix and then launched Troll and it pops and runs no problem. That is HTTPS. I would think they would be doing the same with the Netflix app as it would not make much sense to do otherwise. More development effort.

So it makes me more intent on thinking it is maybe with the authentication services given it has to be a secured session for the user. Once the session is established the service transition does not seem to be a problem. It is still the same client source just some routing changes more than likely. Well, at least you have a bit of a workaround until it can be figured out.

Well, ok. 1.00.16 I think that might be the most recent one but when I try to navigate to the wireless support info it fails. There seems to be a problem with the server or the linkage to the server. Very odd that it can confirm the servers but that probably does not have an identical step like the user authentication process.

I am working on a project in which I am creating a video streaming web service. What I have created till now is a service that synchronously write video content into user stream. But, my web service doesn't work the same way Youtube/Netflix work.

I was just wondering how Youtube/Netflix stream videos. These websites don't directly send video content to users' browser. I was looking into networks tabs in developers options and saw that both of these websites make new requests to Web APIs with range header changed. Can anyone please tell me how this works exactly.

Because videos are large and users don't want to wait until the whole video has been downloaded to play it back, most clients are designed to start video playback as soon as there is enough of the video for the client to be able to decode and start playback.

I pulled this chapter together from dozens of sources that were at times somewhat contradictory. Facts on the ground change over time and depend who is telling the story and what audience they're addressing. I tried to create as coherent a narrative as I could. If there are any errors I'd be more than happy to fix them. Keep in mind this article is not a technical deep dive. It's a big picture type article. For example, I don't mention the word microservice even once :-)

Given our discussion in the What is Cloud Computing? chapter, you might expect Netflix to serve video using AWS. Press play in a Netflix application and video stored in S3 would be streamed from S3, over the internet, directly to your device.

Another relevant factoid is Netflix is subscription based. Members pay Netflix monthly and can cancel at any time. When you press play to chill on Netflix, it had better work. Unhappy members unsubscribe.

The client is the user interface on any device used to browse and play Netflix videos. It could be an app on your iPhone, a website on your desktop computer, or even an app on your Smart TV. Netflix controls each and every client for each and every device.

Everything that happens before you hit play happens in the backend, which runs in AWS. That includes things like preparing all new incoming video and handling requests from all apps, websites, TVs, and other devices.

In 2007 Netflix introduced their streaming video-on-demand service that allowed subscribers to stream television series and films via the Netflix website on personal computers, or the Netflix software on a variety of supported platforms, including smartphones and tablets, digital media players, video game consoles, and smart TVs.

Netflix succeeded. Netflix certainly executed well, but they were late to the game, and that helped them. By 2007 the internet was fast enough and cheap enough to support streaming video services. That was never the case before. The addition of fast, low-cost mobile bandwidth and the introduction of powerful mobile devices like smart phones and tablets, has made it easier and cheaper for anyone to stream video at any time from anywhere. Timing is everything.

Building out a datacenter is a lot of work. Ordering equipment takes a long time. Installing and getting all the equipment working takes a long time. And as soon they got everything working they would run out of capacity, and the whole process had to start over again.
