Netflix problem, please help - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All of a sudden the netflix app just quit working right on my Nexus. I can play one episode of a Show and when I try to play the next episode it just sticks at the red loading screen but never loads the show. Then I have to clear data, log back in and play the next episode and it will work but then I have to repeat this after every episode or it will just stick on the red loading screen.
This is very annoying and I just end up watching netflix on my computer which basically defeated the purpose of purchasing my Nexus 7. I am thinking the problem is that the memory fills up too quickly and the app data on the memory needs to be cleared after each show. Does anyone have any idea or fixes for this issue?

xoom youtube app buffering possible fix

After giving up on finding a fix for my sluggish YouTube appon my xoom. I started having problems with a sluggish android market app and downloaded app cache cleaner from the android market and ran it......it cleared an amazing 200mb of cache and the market now works fast again.....but the great part is that my YouTube app now works fast....no more waiting through endless buffering. I had tried clearing the YouTube cache in the past but it did nothing but since the cache cleaner wipes ALL cache it cleared up a huge amount that was probably clogging up the YouTube app. So far videos that were buffering non stop are now,after the full cache cleaning, loading fast as my PC browser.
Buffer problem is back....even with cache cleaner,oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait for a YouTube update.
Why not just clear cache in app instead. And youtube buffer is a router issue. Get a n router and see how fast it goes then. I had to get an expensive one that could handle more than normal. Otherwise it's a crap shoot. If it's a high quality hd video it will buffer on the sub $100 , routers.

I tried clearing the youtube app cache alone and it didn't help.....then I cleared everything using the cache cleaner and it worked like a charm but now it's buffering again. Must have been a coincidence. The router can handle YouTube streaming on the Xoom browser and I can watch Netflix without a problem.
YouTube app calls for way less data to be loaded at start, so it falls behind.

You tube and browsing speeds -FIX (for me anyway)
Ok so since I got my XOOM a couple of weeks ago I was thinking there was a general problem with the wifi speeds. I had problems with the youtube app in particular. It would buffer for ages and then sometimes not even show the vid. I also saw problems with other streaming data such as game downloads and in general the wifi speed was really dissapointing. I searched all over the place for a fix and found a few things to try like clear the cache from the you tube app as well as upgrading to 3.1 but nothing seemed to work until today
I downloaded wifi analyzed from the market which is a free apo that does exactly what it says on the tin, after a quick scan of my access point it advised me to change my channel to 6 from 10 after doing that my XOOM now flies and I mean flies - everything fro. General browsing to the annoying buffer times on the you tube app are now gone!!!!!
I am not saying change your channel to 6 - this was just the best channel for me so grab yourself a wifi analyzer app and give it a go - I hope it helps someone out there because this has resolved the last of my problems I had with my lovely XOOM

The only thing that's made my YouTube app work great again is to disable the HD before I start watching a video.
Most videos are still at a good , so they all look very good regardless of the HD being off.

[Q] N7 reboots when I try to access storage

Title says all.
My tablet reboots whenever I try to access storage.
There are 3 cases that makes the tablet reboot as far as I know:
1.Google Play Music app
Tablet reboots just 2~3 seconds after the launch.
2.Settings->Storage or Apps
3.Removing data of Google Play Music
I don't know why it's happening, and I'm frustrated a bit right now, so any help would be appreciated!

[Q] Netflix video problem with 8.0 help

Do you guys get video stuttering on Netflix? It's pretty bad on my tab 4 8.0 to the point of getting a headache. I've tried 2.4 & 5ghz but no change. Battery saver is off. This doesn't happen on any other android devices I own. Even my old tab 2 runs Netflix smoother. Any tips or is this how it is on all tab 4s?
Could someone try Netflix and let me know how it is on your tablet please.
Tested Netflix on my Tab4 8", no problems at all.
Do you experience this stuttering on any other video app?

I've tried out some other players like mxplayer and also stuff like YouTube and video playback is smooth. It seems to be just Netflix that is having this issue for me. I've restarted and all that but no luck. Netflix is the only one getting this stuttering every few seconds. Real annoying. Not sure why. I've never seen Netflix act like this on any of my devices and other tablets that I currently own.
Try clearing the cache, try reinstalling?
i have the same problem
what i have tried so far:
1. re install firmware using Kies.
2. format cache, factory reset from recovery
3. clear cache, restart app
4. disabled screen mirror, smart stay, palm motion , switched to nova launcher...
5. limit background process, check do not keep activities.
6. disabled power saving.
7. disabled multiwindow.
edit: also tried
8. clear all other apps cache.
9. Turned off all the bloatware.
10. installed task killers, show no process running since they are Turned off.
11 disabled rotation
12. enabled airplane mode
I also noticed movies in SD does not shutter. only the ones in super HD.
don't know what else to try, and i don't want to root and lose warranty.
playing 1080p 60Hz videos shutter a little bit, I'm starting to think that is just that the CPU cant cope with doing many things at the same time like using wireless an decoding video. since day 1, i noticed that while the updates were downloading and installing it became very laggy over all, and I was like, what are 4 cores there for then? its just that its a crappy tablet and that's all.
I've tried a lot of the things above to and Netflix is still having this micro stuttering. I noticed that if I lower the Netflix quality in my settings it will still stutter so it has nothing to do with the tablet not being able to handle high quality. It almost seems like there's a bug on the Netflix side with this tablet that is causing this or something. It's kinda sad that my old tab 2 7.0 Netflix stream is better than this new tab 4. I also have a shield tablet that just blows both these away but that's expected. My wife and daughter use this tab 4 and they watch allot of Netflix on it so I would really like to figure this out. Anyone else have any ideas on what to do or know if there's a bug that needs to be ironed out with Netflix and this tablet. Maybe there's a update from Netflix or Samsung to fix this problem in the future...if they know about it.

Casting Issue - Constantly Stops, Goes to Home Screen

Literally, every single time I am casting to my Nexus Player from Google Chrome, the casting will randomly just stop and my Nexus Player will go to the home screen. The easiest way to get it back going is to go into apps and disable / re-enable the "Chromecast Android Shell". It is getting really old really fast.
I just watched Jason Bourne. I would guess I literally had to go through this close to 20 times.
Does anyone have any recommendations for how to "cast" from my Desktop (Ethernet) to my Nexus Player (WiFi)? I am currently using "Videostream", a Google Chrome App. Maybe this app is the problem, but if I don't disable / enable the casting app in the Nexus Player, the Nexus Player will not be detectible by Chrome, Videostream, etc. Well, unless I restart the Nexus Player. Which is even more of a pain in the ass obviously. (Time wise)
I have a 25ft HDMI cable which was my old way of "casting". I'd rather not go back to this, but at least I NEVER once had an issue doing it this way.
