Usually going to settings/Apps/Netflix and then "Force Stop" has solved the problem. But it got too frequent (and general TV slowness), so I did a factory reset of the TV. But the problem is still there!
To restart, unplug the TV's power cord from the power outlet and wait a few seconds to plug it back in. Alternatively, you can press and hold the Power/Off button on the supplied remote control to reboot.
I have similar and very annoying issue. Restarting tv helps (but takes time) or forcing the app to close. Then Netflix works well until tje second time I try to open the app. Always stucks at the loading screen and back button on remote does not work. I can start Netflix using inbuild chromecast but tv gets quite un reponsive after the casting stops. Easiest seems to be navigating to settings and apps and forcing close. Yesterday I noticed similar loading issue with another streaming app (one that I haven used in months), but didn't have the time to try to shut down the app or reinstall it.
Hi,
I've actually tried that several times already. On/off, power cycle, full restart. When it didn't work, I resorted to doing a factory reset of the TV. So setting up the TV fresh didn't help either.
I'm having no problem running Netflix otherwise on that connection (not even througgh an Apple TV plugged into the TV). Its just the Netflix app on the Android TV interface that's struggling. All the other built-in apps (like YouTube etc) work just fine.
Regards,
That's just terrible, looks like you're in the same boat as me.
And since my TV is a 2015 model, its unlikely that there is much being fixed/updated at Sony via software updates either. So if this problem doesn't solve itself, I have no option but to get rid of the TV. Live in a different continent now than when I bought it, so service/support/repairs will be a challenge.
Good to hear that reinstall helped someone. I tried to unistall Netflix but since it is a system app, only option is to return to factory version of it. Already tried removing all updates and reinstalling, and cleaning cached files. Same problem occurs again the next day. So everything is ok for the first use, but after tv has been turned off (not powered off) after that netflix won't start. My tv is XD8577.
But the second thing I found deeply disconcerting - worse actually - were the not-so veiled digs at Emily Maitlis, the dogged News Night anchor whose persistence and penetrating, unflinching gaze were really what undid the Prince during that interview.
Does this sly condescension to her really add anything to a narrative that fundamentally pertains to be about the nexus of rich and powerful men, like Prince Andrew, who propped up Epstein by affording him either legitimacy, status or money?
?Haven't watched by I trust your reaction... Unfortunately it seems "normal" these days that for one person to be seen as good/competent or worthy, another has to be less so. In real life, two things can be equal but different, but that doesn't translate well to drama (except for All the President's Men authors - Bernstein & Woodward perhaps?)
First, Prince Andrew himself. As played excellently by Rufus Sewell, the movie aptly captures the Prince\u2019s vanity, frustrations and the bubble-wrap of privilege around him, giving rise to that disastrous interview. After which he announced he\u2019d step back from his royal duties.
But let\u2019s not forget that he wasn\u2019t actually stripped of his royal titles and essentially exiled until years later, in 2022, and for something far more serious than pomposity. That\u2019s something that does not get mentioned in Scoop. Namely that Ms. Giuffre sued him for sexual abuse when she was a minor and he settled with her for an undisclosed sum and it was THAT embarrassment, ahead of the Queen\u2019s Golden Jubilee celebrations, that caused his death-knell.
I\u2019m not surprised that she is producing her own Amazon TV series based on her story, including her recollections of that interview. Which may be different from those in Scoop, which was based on a book by Maitlis\u2019s former booker, Sam McAlister, played by Billie Piper. (Maitlis has said she did not get involved with the Netflix production. Maitlis has also been warm publicly about McAlister and vice versa. Although, in predictable British tabloid fashion, the Daily Mail suggests there is now a tabloid-style feud between the two women.)
Back to Scoop: although the movie\u2019s script \u2013 and the actor Gillian Anderson - highlights Maitlis\u2019s tough interviewing style, flawless memory and work ethic, Maitlis is simultaneously portrayed as someone whose social status is above that of most of her newsroom, which, it\u2019s insinuated, is an impediment to morale. Hence there is a disdain with which her team discuss the \u201CNorth London dinner party\u201D class circuit Maitlis\u2019s interviews appeal to. (As if they\u2019d prefer a different audience\u2026we don\u2019t learn who, exactly.) And the endless shots of Maitlis\u2019s whippet, Moody, who, in the movie, seldom leaves her side in the newsroom (something that did not happen often in reality, reportedly), are blatantly loaded with classist snark. (Who is the other famous English woman who brought her dogs everywhere?)
The movie is based on McAlister\u2019s book, Scoops, about the ongoing battles behind the scenes at the BBC, which she subsequently left, so I understand why her challenges as a working single mother, and her perceptions of institutional elitism inside the organization are a focus.
But I don\u2019t see why one woman\u2019s story should be elevated at the expense of the other\u2019s. In Scoop, in contrast to McAlister being run ragged, Maitlis is portrayed as someone whose only personal obstacle is momentarily losing her whippet in the park.
Netflix, the popular movie streaming site, deploys a hundred times per day, without the use of Chef or Puppet, without a quality assurance department and without release engineers. To do this, Netflix built an advanced in-house PaaS (Platform as a Service) that allows each team to deploy their own part of the infrastructure whenever they want, however many times they require. During QCon New York 2013, Jeremy Edberg gave a talk about the infrastructure Netflix built to support this rapid pace of iteration on top of Amazon's AWS.
Netflix uses a service-oriented architecture to implement their API, which handles most of the site's requests (2 billion requests per day). Behind the scenes, the API is separated into many services, where each service is managed by a team, allowing teams to work relatively autonomously and decide themselves when and how often they want to deploy new software.
Netflix is heavily invested in DevOps. Developers build, deploy and operate their own server clusters and are accountable when things go wrong. In case of failure, a session is organized where the root cause of the issue is investigated, and ways are discussed to prevent similar issues in the future -- similar to the five whys.
Deployment at Netflix is completely automated. When a service needs to be deployed, the developer first pushes the code to a source code repository. The code push is picked up by Jenkins, which subsequently performs a build producing an application package. Then, a fresh VM image (AMI) is produced based on a base image (containing a Linux distribution) and software that all Netflix servers run, including a JVM and Tomcat, possibly further customized by the team. On top of this base install, the application package is installed. From this, an AMI is produced and registered with the system.
To deploy the VM images to its infrastructure, Netflix built Asgard. Via the Asgard web interface, VM images can be instantiated to create new EC2 clusters. Every cluster consists of at least 3 EC2 instances for redundancy, spread over multiple availability zones. When deploying a new version, the cluster running the previous version is kept running while the new version is instantiated. When the new version is booted and has registered itself with the Netflix services registry called Eureka, the load balancer flips a switch directing all traffic to the new cluster. The new cluster is monitored carefully and kept running overnight. If everything runs OK, the old cluster is destroyed. If something goes wrong, the load balancer is switched back to the old cluster.
Failure happens continuously in the Netflix infrastructure. Software needs to be able to deal with failing hardware, failing network connectivity and many other types of failure. Even if failure doesn't occur naturally, it is induced forcefully using The Simian Army. The Simian Army consists of a number of (software) "monkeys" that randomly introduce failure. For instance, the Chaos Monkey randomly brings servers down and the Latency Monkey randomly introduces latency in the network. Ensuring that failure happens constantly makes it impossible for the team to ignore the problem and creates a culture that has failure resilience as a top priority.
About two weeks ago, I began to watch the show Atypical on Netflix. This is a program that was of great interest to me, as it is about an 18-year-old high school senior who is living with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The plot revolves around this young man (Sam) as he tries to find a girlfriend and have an intimate relationship for the first time. I looked forward to seeing how this progressed due to my own experiences in high school with wanting to date and feel loved by a partner. However, I quickly realized that were certain aspects of Atypical that made me feel slightly uneasy due to the broad generalizations of autism that were displayed at times. Despite this, I was not disappointed with this program overall, as it provided a thoughtful and entertaining perspective about a topic that is often ignored when we talk about growing up with autism.
