I've got a curious problem with the Netflix app on my Nexus 7. Under ordinary use Netflix seems to be OK most of the time (apart from glitches that you expect sometimes). However I have changed my DNS to Playmo servers to enable US Netflix in the UK. Now this works fine on my PS3, my Xbox 360 and even my iPhone. Sadly virtually every video stream comes up with this message shortly after starting the stream. "This title is not available to watch instantly. Please try another title."
Has anyone else found this behaviour? Are there any solutions?

I'm very had no issue at all with my app. Sorry to hear about your issues

Fixed the issue. It was Playmo that were to blame. Trying unblockus and it works fine on Android devices now.

Hello all,
I have been having an issue with video playback. YouTube is decent most of the times, but I just tried using Netflix and every 5 or so seconds the audio will skip and the video will freeze, then catch back up. Really annoying and makes for a poor experience. Is this an issue on JB or something that I can easily fix?

I've probably watched at least 20 hours of Netflix content on my N7 so far and I have not seen so much as a single hiccup.
I don't know if your issue could be bandwidth related. I have about 12.5Mbps down at home, and have also streamed via WiFi hotspot on my Verizon S3 using LTE.

Definitely not a bandwidth issue. I have 30 down FiOS. Maybe I'll try reinstalling or try a different ROM. Could be related to the kernel I have as well.

I restored to a previous stock backup and still showing the same problems. This is annoying.

Very strange. My N7 is 100% stock ... not even unlocked or rooted.
The Netflix app is reported as version 1.8.1 build 573.

Mine is back to the stock ROM and it is still acting up. Not really sure whats going on. I have rebooted, uninstalled and reinstalled and doesn't change it.

Maybe a hardware defect. Is your stock ROM a clean install?
Stock ROM was a nandroid backup. I don't know if it is a hardware defect. I refuse to exchange this over something like choppy Netflix playback. Simply for the reason that my tablet is extremely solid otherwise.

Apparently it was simply my Netflix settings were too high. I changed it online from best quality to better quality and it immediately fixed my issues. No more stuttering. I still find it hard to believe though that with a 30 meg down connection it has trouble streaming HD video.

I have the choppy playback problem too. I was getting this on my Kindle Fire with ICS and doing a factory reset and reinstall (still within ICS) fixed it. I tried the same on the N7 here with no luck.
I would do the quality thing, but it seems sad I would have to degrade the playback quality on all Netflix capable devices (the iPad 2, the 47" TV, etc) just to make it work and that still wouldn't explain why the Kindle Fire running the same version, with "slower" hardware would play just dandy.
I've tried both the Amazon version (Version 1.8.1) and the Play version (Version 1.8.1. Build 573) without any difference...they might be the same version, but when I went from Play to Amazon it wanted to "upgrade" me, so I uninstalled and did the Amazon one just to test.
Pretty sure it's not bandwidth either as I have 25mb down, 5mb up.
Personally, since everything else works awesome on my N7 and I have it completely set up the way I want now (rooted, all apps installed, etc) I think I'll pass on doing any other weird stuff to get Netflix working. Hopefully they will update it and fix it (yeah...kinda blaming Netflix for this)!
Any word on a fix for broken Bluetooth? I haven't had much time to look around to see if a fix has been post due to work but this constant disconnect between my phone and tablet is getting annoying now. I rely on Bluetooth for Tablet Talk.

Nothing that I have seen yet. My jambox is useless when WiFi is on with bluetooth. Constant stuttering.
New fix is supposed to be on the way. 4.2.2 has been released to some Google employees and is being tested for release to the public. Supposed to fix lag and BT.

Hi, since getting my n4 I'm having issues with watching youtube videos over WiFi. I have to turn the HQ option off and even then its painfully slow and buffers repeatedly. I have a decent broadband connection and didn't have this issue with my nexus S. Its the same when i try my work wifi too.
Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas or tips?
Thanks
It happens on my phone and my tablet. It could be the freaking YouTube app.

Yeah it happens here also on anything connected to our wifi, even though its a great, fast connection. It's youtube simply sucking in general I think..
Thanks, it hadn't occurred to me it could be the app but you're right i think. Vimeo is fine.

Anyone else having this problem? It ran great, then it prompts me to rate on Google play, then it crashes.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 2
It crashes occasionally for me as well, at random. Also, how does it run for you? On High I see a mild amount of lag. I'm on RasBeanJelly with Trinity TX3.

I have it on default settings and it's really smooth actually. I got passed the rate on Google play crashing problem, I let it sit a while before I said not now and it didn't crash it maybe I was just in too big of a hurry. Also to my amazement the Ps3 controller connected via USB otg cable works with this game. The game apparently thinks its a Moga Pro controller and it maps perfectly

I put the settings on highest and it runs a little slower and I honestly don't like the excessive blur effect it adds so I'm gonna leave it at medium
I'm running stock 4.3 and it work great for me on the highest settings

Anybody get this loaded and working or know when it's available from the playstore directly?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
No luck yet sideloading on my two NP's. It had better arrive before April, for what I shall say, are obvious reasons. Otherwise I will be very upset. Like a Mountain of head crushing upset.
Ok thanks
