Solving playback issues

[pigzX1128]

These issues happen every time the Netflix ap is accessed.. the only time it doesn’t freeze &&crash is if the show you want to watch is accessible from the very first opening of the app((as in it’s listed first & right away on your list// ie:you can see it’s thumbnail icon when NetFlix opens)) if you have to search it will freeze & eventually crash over & over or if you have to scroll it will freeze several times. But if you can get to your show from the first opening & only click/make selections like 2-3 times it will play fine most of the time. But if you have to pause ; ff; rwd; search or scroll through episodes it’s over && it will freeze or crash or both. When it freezes it’s usually all sound & picture stops or the screen will freeze for 15-45sec then either drop back to the show//episode “details” section; Netflix home; or the Tv main menu.. or it will freeze start stop pause a couple times then go black & the tv led will flash several times then the tv reboots it’s self. I have a TCL 4Kuhd RokuSmartTV 2022 series 4 if that helps!! ((We have 2 and they both do this!!)) like I said before this is only on Netflix everything else works extremely well!! Disney+& Hulu will freeze every now &then but nothing else ever crashes like Netflix!!

I admit I posted some pages back I thought I had it fixed. But not.

I have however found if I do not stop playback with any other method than the pause button, then use the arrow keys to back frame or skip forward I have no problems. If I just use the arrow keys to forward or reverse the hangs begin.

Every other product I use is not effected by this. And its only on Netflix. I can do the arrowing moves on any other provider with no hangs.

Not long after my previous pose in March 2024 I switched from the Pioneer VSX-LX505 AVR to a New Denon AVR-X4800H and the issues never happened again.
