The first movie I tried to play after updating to 1.08.17 in Netflix was Open Season 3. The movie has some crazy ghosting/pixelation going on. You only have to play the first minute or two and please let me know if you get the same. Other movies I have tried so far play fine. If anyone could report back and let me know how it plays for you on the SMP I would be most appreciative.
EDIT: Just tested this movie in Netflix on a Boxee Box and it plays fine.
EDIT2: My box is wired and I have a 15 megabit connection to the internet
EDIT3: Other movies effected are The Secret of Kells and Open Season 2
Well I found a fix BUT not the kind of fix I wanted. I logged into netflix.com and went to my account /manage video quality and changed it from BEST QUALITY to BETTER QUALITY and the issue is gone. Any thoughts???
After 2 calls to netflix my issue still persists. They are looking into the issue and told me I should receive and email in 24-48 hours. Here is a bandwidth chart from the same movie streamed from Netflix on a Boxee Box using the same ethernet cable. As you can see there is quite a difference in the average transmission rate.
It appears that the Boxee Box is limited to a 720p stream from Netflix while the Live SMP can pull a full 1080p stream. This is why Boxee can stream these movies no problem while Live SMP has issues. There is an issue somewhere with the 1080p encodes or the way the Live SMP handles the stream.
using netflix on AppleTV 4 and having issues lately with some titles not loading. After selecting the movie or episode, it will just stay on the loading loop. Not a network issue since other titles will load and stream fine. Most titles work fine, but 10% of the time, titles like girl from oslo, fauda, blackspace wont load. Tried forced app restart and reinstall, but issue persists.

I have exactly the same problem. It helps to delete and reinstall the Netflix app. Then everything is fine for some weeks or months, but, out of a sudden, some titles again refuse to start and I have to do the delete-reinstall cycle once again.

An absurdist comedy-drama film of epic proportions, Everything Everywhere All at Once was written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, aka The Daniels. The movie stars Michelle Yeoh as Evelyn Quan Wand, a Chinese-American immigrant who, while being audited by the IRS, finds herself connected to different versions of herself across parallel universes. Evelyn then unwittingly becomes embroiled in a fantastical adventure to stop a powerful being from destroying the multiverse. The film also stars Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Quan, Jamie Lee Curtis, and James Hong. On its release, Everything Everywhere All at Once was a massive success and earned universal acclaim. The film made history at the 95th Academy Awards with 11 nominations and seven wins, including the Best Actress Award for Yeoh, who became the first Asian woman nominated in the category. Though billed as a comedy, the film incorporates elements of science fiction, fantasy, martial arts, and animation to explore themes of absurdism, surrealism, depression, generational trauma, and Asian-American identity.
Oscar winners Annette Bening and Jodie Foster dominate in the biographical sports drama Nyad. Directed by documentarians Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, Nyad is their feature directorial debut, which benefits from their experience capturing authenticity. As expected from most sports dramas and biopics, Nyad shares a story of perseverance, the triumphs of determination, and a message of hope, showcased by the undeniable on-screen power of Bening and Foster.
In 1972, a Uruguayan flight crashed while carrying a rugby team on their way to Chile, and the survivors of the wreck had to work together to survive in the treacherously cold weather of the Andes. This real-life event is the subject of J.A. Bayona's film Society of the Snow, which tackles the incredible story of the survivors and their attempts to survive for two months in the mountains. Director Bayona got the idea for the film upon discovering the book The Society of the Snow, which was written by Pablo Vierci, and used the same name for his film. The cast, largely composed of newcomers in the acting world, is completely composed of Uruguayan and Argentinian performers.
The film was nominated for two Oscars, including Best International Feature Film, a Golden Globe for Best Non-English Language Film, and a Critic's Choice Award for the same category. With a budget of 60 million euros, The Society of Snow is the most expensive Spanish film ever made. With music by Michael Giacchino, the film is acclaimed for its emotional undertone and important message. - Emily Cappello
Streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime are in constant competition with each other. So why is it that some movies such as Inception (in the UK at least), Pineapple Express, and The Cabin In The Woods appear on two (or more) of these services at the same time? As of 2020, almost every film fan has become accustomed to the omnipresent phenomenon that is the movie streaming service. The industry giants have ensured that a lot of the best original Netflix movies are available only on their platforms.
But massive corporate mergers, such as Disney buying out Fox, mean that many movies are now lost in the crossfire between companies. For a particularly famous and costly example, just look at the quagmire caused when Disney bought the rights to Spider-Man from Sony in a protracted negotiation which Sony won. As a result, these films may not be available on any streaming services for a period of time, or they may be available on two rival streaming services simultaneously. For example, in some territories, titles such as Cabin in the Woods, Pineapple Express, and Inception appear on both Netflix and Amazon Prime at the same time.
Whilst there is no single definitive answer to the question of why these films are allowed to appear on both streaming services at once, it is most likely due to their relative age meaning Netflix is unwilling to pay extra for exclusive streaming rights. Originally released in 2012, 2008, and 2010 respectively (and in the case of Cabin in the Woods, filmed in 2009), these three titles are licensed by both services at once because there is less intense competition over their rights. This is a positive development for movie lovers, as it means many classic movies are likely to be more widely available as streaming services opt to share them instead of paying extra. The intense competition between Netflix and Disney+ means Netflix could block Marvel from producing promising future movies, proving that these companies are still very much invested in keeping new content on only one platform. As a result, some classics can slip by and become available across various services in the process.
