  1. Netflix freezes Xbox One


    Everytime I try to load Netflix on my Xbox one it freezes the entire console when at the first loading screen for the app. HBO Go is also affected, however, that app will load and work up until the point I choose a video which it won't load. I've seen
    the problem mentioned on other threads but none of the suggests have worked. I've tried messing with the DNS settings as well as the display settings as suggested but nothing has worked. I have had this issue since around November when the new dashboard was
    released and have seen people mentioning this issue on this forum dating back to this time as well. Another thread seemed to be addressing this issue but it has been locked with no solution provided. The link to that topic is Uh oh... that shouldn't have happened..
    I've tried all the solutions listed there so if anyone has any new ideas or solutions that worked for them it would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    Netflix freezes Xbox One

    I too am having this issue but with Netflix. In also posted in the other locked forum.

    The only thing I've found is a temporary fix, which is turning off the Xbox, unplugging the power cable and the HDMI output lead to the TV. Netflix usually then works once or twice afterwards. This is NOT a solution however and we shouldn't have to do this
    every few days to use an app. All other Xbox functions and apps work as normal.

    I have phoned Netflix twice who insist that this is a Microsoft problem (with the app).

    It is frankly an embarrassment that Microsoft closed the other thread where this problem was outlined for MONTHS by DOZENS of users without a solution. Now here is a new thread without the community riot around this problem that Microsoft is ignoring.

  6. I have an old Sony Bravia from 2008 and was having this issue, trying everything to fix it: dns, netflix reinstall, xbox reinstall. This is how I fixed it: when I selected to autodetect my TV it was only giving me 640x480, I was using a 10m HDMI cable. When
    I reverted to the original Xbox HDMI cable it recognized my TV as 1080p and Netflix started working fine! Hope this helps! Now I need to find a 10m cable that will also work!

    I am also having this issue. But for me its not constant. One day it'll be working fine, and then the next it'll bog down while loading up and the whole xbox will bog down, causing me to completely shut down the console because it takes so long just to get
    the home screen to pop up. The lag is terrible. I've seen multiple threads with plenty of "this is what I did" and not of those have worked for me. If it was a constant issue then maybe I would try more; but as I stated, it's only every once in awhile for
    me which is odd. Everything else has been working great so far: dvd/blu, games, hulu, youtube, etc... it's just the netflix app that does this.

    For me as of late every time I open Netflix it'll lock up and force close by itself but after I open it again it works fine. No need for any console restarts or unplug. Hopefully this gets addressed soon.

  11. All I can say is 1 year later, it isn't fixed. and the error code still comes up as "error code not found". One day into having an Xbox, and this has me ready to return it for a PS4 replacement instead.

    NETFLIX

    I had the same issue a few months ago I would use netflix one day and not close it then try and use it again and it would freeze my console to the point I would have to reboot. now as long as I close netflix right when I am done watching it the console never
    freezes. But as of last night my netflix is freezing the video and continuing the voice and hulu will do the same thing but give me a green screen with voice and I have tried all suggestions in the xbox help menu to no avail so I think there is a problem with
    xbox.
