I use the xbox s to stream netflix. It starts to blink. Sound is not affected, only video.

I have the same problem. I just purchased a Xbox One S the video goes out for a second or two while anything is done movies, games or stream/cast etc. My TV is a M70-D3, when I stream straight to the TV it works without an issue. I just purchased a Samsung
UBD-K8500 to help test this, streaming, playing 4k or even 4k hdr media works no issue at all. Switch cables / or go back to the xbox and guess what-my video starts to blink every few minutes. Really looks to be a One S issue.

Netflix app? Amazon video app? Xbox video app? Or all video streaming apps? Did you try a hard reset? Sorry you are having problems. I have only used Amazon and Netflix. So far nothing terrible happening for me yet. Though I use those apps infrequently

When I try to snap the new Netflix while I'm playing a game the netflix stream freezes. The sound still plays but the video freezes. Anyone else having this problem??

Hi, if I'm not mistaken you can set the streaming quality by signing into your Netflix account online and setting the streaming quality for every device you use to stream Netflix on but you can't set the quality per device.

Sign into Netflix and go to your account profile and you'll see the option to set the Playback Settings there. You may though need to settle for a lower than HD quality as it appears that the highest setting covers both HD and 4K streaming.

These are the available options

Auto

Default video quality and data usage.

Low

Basic video quality, up to 0.3GB per hour

Medium

Standard video quality, up to 0.7GB per hour

High

Best video quality, up to 3GB per hour for HD, 7GB per hour for Ultra HD

That setting is per account, so any changes will affect only the account you make the changes on.
