if you open the netflix app that is installed on the tv, all seems well up until the point you actually try to play a piece of media. Choose the wrong movie or show, and your tv will immediate lose all picture, and picture will not return until you either unplug the tv for a few minutes, or enter the button command "home button x5, up button, rewind x2, fast forward x2" and power back on. Choose the right film or show, and you will recieve 15 or so minutes of uninterrupted play, followed by the abrupt loss of image altogether once again.
That all is to say, the netflix app behaves differently depending on the media you select, but using it unwaveringly results in the loss of image output from your tv (and its always before you can finish your show).
moving on... we tried problem solving. Hooked our Xbox series s up to the device, and tried to run the netflix app on it instead. No luck. Immediate loss of image output by the tv, before the xbox can even fully boot up the app.
before you suggest - we have already checked for updates to both the netflix app and the tv itself. Both are up to date. We have already reset the tv (many times) and the netflix app itself, no luck.
other streaming apps that we have tried (the tubi app) works fine and no issue was experienced after 10 consecutive hours of play. It is only netflix, and it is any form of netflix that you try, be it rokus netflix or xbox's netflix. Doing other things on the xbox does not produce the issue. It is only when you try to load up netflix that the tv immediately loses picture (audio persists in all cases)
i wish you the best of luck in solving this issue, my best guess is that it is foulplay from netflix. Perhaps netflix is trying to deter consumers from roku devices, for a competitor tv company maybe. Orrrr perhaps theres no drama and your devices are just in need of some sort of update regarding Netflix software specifically. I dont understand why this issue would extend to netflix ran through external devices via the hdmi channels though.
3. When I try to play a video in KMPlayer, it plays last video of the folder with a message "the last file of the folder is already loaded". No matter which video I choose to play, it plays the last video of the folder.
@Sudhaaker i'm here for the exact same reason. Youtube videos just keep fast forwarding after about playing for 20 seconds. It just started today. I've restarted my phone and cleared the YouTube app cache and it's still doing it.
@Sudhaaker This is exactly what I was facing...video getting fast forward, replying again and again in VLC, when I was pressing brightness button both brightness bar as well as volume bar were popping up, just after pressing brightness button trackpad cursor getting stuck etc.
Sol!. I get rid of this not by any technical stuff but one morning I thought as it is getting fast forward so the forward button :fast_forward_button: might got stuck and clean the forward button, brightness button by blowing air and with a stick and also hit my laptop here and there a little hard (something might got stuck somewhere) after doing this I turn on my laptop.....God knows the problem but I checked everything all issue is solved now.
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.

Can some one help explain why Roku is able to fast forward and rewind beautifully through a movie at different increments of speed, while all other apps including the server itself's fast forward is only a skip so many seconds at a time? I thought it was because I was using MKV files, but after using the Roku I don't think that anymore. I just wish the Roku app layout was verbatim to Theater. Thanks.
The Roku utilizes "bif" files that are generated in advance. These files are pretty much a collection of screenshots at the skip interval meaning you can visually see forward/back without having to actually advance to the point in the video. This preview gives the illusion of a smooth experience because you don't actually tell the video player to move the playback position until you click "OK".
@@ebr Roku seems to stop the video for fast forwarding allowing me to fast forward a movie slow or super fast in no time, from the beginning to the end of a movie. It shows the time progression on the screen the whole time. It has three speed increments. The Server or other apps when I attempt to do this only skips 30 secs at a time. Holding the fast forward does nothing. It would be really nice if what Roku does could be integrated into the server and other apps. A three speed fast forward feature. Roku may do what you say, but it feels like a real fast forward and rewind. Thanks
Having become used to the skipping that virtually every other interface uses these days, I do not like the way the Roku works. I try to jump ahead 30 seconds or a minute and end up flying off into the future and have to fumble with the remote to stop it .
On the Android TV and Fire TV apps, you can hit the button multiple times or hold it down to progressively skip further and further into the item. I find this much more natural now that I'm used to it in other interfaces as well.
I do like the way Roku works over the others, the only issue I see with this method is the available speeds, but that's down to the device you're using. I prefer Roku's method, I like being able to see exactly where I am when FF/RWDing, maybe it's because I was brought up on VHS tapes
Sadly this isn't the case. I just tested this in the Xbox One Emby Theater app. It took 1 minute and 22 seconds to fast forward only 30 minutes. The entire time I was forced to listen to lurching audio. An extremely unpleasant all around. I could only imagine trying to seek two hours into a recording.
And this is on an Xbox where you could quickly and accurately operate a cursor or scrubber with the thumbstick on the controller given the option, but I think multiple fast forward speeds is a bare minimum.
There's a reason the twitch app on Xbox lets you fast forward up to 256X: if you're trying to get to a specific part of a multi-hour recording, only being able to skip 30 seconds at a time is absolutely maddening.
I just switched from Plex Pass and subscribed to Emby Premium today because I learned it actually supports watching a recording while it's in progress, but if I cannot skip to the part of the recording I want to watch in less than a minute that feature is worthless anyway. I'll probably have to switch back to Plex since at least it supports multiple rewind and fast forward speeds.
