Display problem with Netflix 1.4+

Greetings. I have a Motorola Xoom and when I run Netflix, the first time it looks fine. After that, When I run it again, the Netflix menu looks huge and I cannot really navigate around it. The only way to fix the problem is to either clear the Netflix cache and data every time before I use it (requiring me to log back in each time), or installing version 1.3 (which then annoyingly prompts me to upgrade every time I launch it).
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix?

Nobody else has this problem? Really?

I run Netflix on Xoom quite often but I don't have the problems you describe. My issues are usually with the app locking up and needing to force close it and restart. It was definitely running much better in the older versions.

I have the exact same problem, but I can't solve it even if I clear the cache. It's somehow showing the "stretched" phone UI instead the tablet UI. It's just unusable now.

Same problem here.....it went away for awhile, but it is back. Even tried facotry reset, didn't work.

I was able to install an HD version on Xoom running ics ROM

May fix your problem but I doubt it. This should just change the buffering.

I had netflix issues too with honeycomb. It wouldn't even load to even log in.
Flashing the EOS nightly ICS rom fixed it.

What I did is uninstall find version 1.3 install that and visit the market it sees the old version and updates it.
Working fine now.
I have 1.3 if you need it I think but its the one found in xda forums

[Q] video playback

So video runs pretty flawless when i watch stuff from prime. When i watch netflix or stream from the browser the audio is off a little. Is there anyway to help this at all.
I am rooted btw.

I have found no solution to this using all combinations of stock, CM7, and intersectRaven's kernel. It is present in all video players that I have tried meaning that it is probably an issue with the audio hardware/drivers. The latest version of netflix is by far the worst with at least a half second delay in audio. I have found this post which makes it possible to use old versions of Netflix. Versions 1.3.0 and 1.4.0 work fine (fine being only a very slight delay in audio).
Edit: I have not tried Prime. If it works flawlessly then that rules out the audio hardware or drivers.

i'm playing local and network streamed videos with mx player - they are fully sync - it's definitely not the hardware - i assume netflix and amazons streaming services are buggy - youtube is also sync
btw. there are some other threads about this ...

My netflix is almost perfectly in sync... it might be off by a few milliseconds, like 2 but its only noticable if you stare at their mouths and are really looking for it. Did i just get lucky?

Thanks! The Netflix 1.4 works pretty much spot-on, barely any noticeable sync issues.

Maybe its a problem with flash version that the kindle comes with. I'm gonna try the older netflix.

[Q] Audio Sync Issues

hi im new here (and to the whole android thing)
my kindle fire has some serious audio syncing issues (i.e. in ALL games sound effects are played to late) and i dont seem the only one as google told me.
so i decided to try the CM7 to see if that fixes my issues, it does not.
is that a problem i have to live with? can i do something about it? what causes it?
thanks in advance for your help!

I have that issue too. I can't even normally play in rythm-game Osu! cuz audio sync is not correct
on all firmwares.

as i cant post in the other thread, will i have audio with latest cm9 rom? like JackpotClavin110112.zip
edit: well i do, but not in game

no.. Audio and Video not supported now.

As the previous poster has stated, ICS in it's current form has audio issues. It would be helpful to know which ROMs are you having the issue on? (ie. Amazon stock rom, CM7, ICS). If you're having the issue on all of them, especially with the stock rom it may potentially be a local hardware issue unless everyone else on the stock rom is having the same problem....

issues are with stock rom and with any other 2.3.x based rom i have tried.
other seem to have this issue too (and even contacted) amazon which promised to fix this issue with the latest update but didnt.
i also found game developer posts stating this is an android 2.3.x issue.

promised to fix and didn't? amazon.....

Seems to be a rather odd situation. Your kindle fire with stock firmware is having audio issues while the majority of other kindle fire's do not..
I don't know what type of media is presenting the issue, but it if works perfectly in another Kindle fire with the same exact software, then I can only conclude it's a hardware issue specific your device (and some others). Might we worth a shot to have them replace the device..

i guess it happens to all kindles, maybe not all users have noticed
please take a look at this video, you can see the problem at the very beginning
(as im new i cant link to sites, its on youtube /watch?v=U6MaGr4FCN8)
it shows angry birds as first games, see when the bird is pulled back an when the sound effect for it plays. see when the bird is launched and when the sfx plays, see when the bird hits the target and when the sfx plays.
some with every other game i have tried. on every rom i have tried.
this cant be an hardware issue can it?

The only time I have audio sync issues on the stock rom is with Netflix.
I am using ics right now and have no sound sync issues when the sound works lol.
Also, hats off to jackpotclavin, hashcode, hewhohas and everyone else that is working on ics.
Btw this was typed on my fire with ics.

stock ics and netflix.

ever since I updated to stock ics netflix has been kinda weird. video would freeze at times, but it'd run ok randomly. anyone have a fix or this problem as well?

I've been having the same problem. It's not even playing many videos for me.

[Q] Streaming video

I've been using the vulkano player app for about 2 years .
on all honcomb roms it works fine
all roms above that starting from ICS stock to every ICS to JB the player video stops working and becomes unusable until i reboot the unit. (A500)
I also have a galaxy 7 the player runs fine on ICS Stock/ROOT/cm10/baked beans and so on (tried to get help on the vulkano- no soap)
any one else have this problem ?
ps: thanks to all members of the forum of this form .. when I first started rooting my tablets it took hours to get a rooted version and now because you guys it takes less then 10 minutes to go back to any rom . thanks and
thanks for any help on the above

No help from the app developer? Might be time to find a new app!
Have you tried other players?

can't give up
The app is made for android so you can watch tv over network /internet-Wirelessly . It's the main reason i got a acer A500 (10 inch wireless tv lol)
i cooked< i think that's the term> my 1st rom yesterday ...but ended up having to get another launcher ....tv app runs good on it .
the tv app seem to be the program for me to check for leaks
IF it cant stream like in honeycomb then i am probably going to find problem using other apps that are flash related .... as it will do the same with video.
i see that a lot of JB roms have a bad problem with the lock rotation button..

so no one besides me uses the vulkano player app on the A500 besides me
OR does every one that has it , it works fine for them ?
