[Q] Netflix on CM11 is Freezing

[aznxmonki]

Hi. When I try to watch netflix movies on cm11 on my ouya, the movie would freeze at a random frame and gets stuck.

Does anyone else have this issue? If so, how can we resolve it?

What version of Netflix are you using?

Yeah, I've seen that happen with mine also. Haven't found a fix for it either, and it seems to occur at random. Not just when something else is hogging up all your Internet bandwidth. I think it has to do with the Ouya not buffering or caching the stream...

But since with CM11, you don't get player controls on Netflix (Play, Pause, FF with preview, etc) I use my WDTV for Netflix streaming in the bedroom instead...

Have you tried one of these versions in this post... http://www.progressivethink.in/on/ouya/and/netflix-on-ouya-now-with-profile-support/

Ok I'm using the app I posted above and I'm getting this issue also now and I'm on the stock OUYA ROM. I never used to have this problem, maybe something to do with Netflix itself? I wonder if any other devices are having problems?

Hey Guys,

Not sure if anyone's still look at this. Disabling the HW Overlay certainly does fix the freezing issue, but it really messes up the playback smoothness. It's especially noticeable with high action movies. I've tried a bunch of the other settings to like forcing GPU drawing, CPU and memory tweaks with no better results. I've gone back to playing it with the Overlay turned on for netflix. It will freeze a few times, but after several stop and restarts, it seems to play okay once the video catches up. It's just so random.

I would definitely rather play without Overlay since it gives me all the on screen controls in both Netflix and Youtube.
