Hey guys, got a couple quick questions here.
December 1st, XBox Live just up and died on me.
When I was trying to figure out the problem it asked for the whole 'security proofs' deal so I punch in my info and still nothing.. I could still could see friends online, but no access to any other online features.. Sort of a problem when you want to spend the night binging on Netflix hahaha.
Anyways, worked a little google magic and I found out apparently it was some sort of hacking group that messed with Live, which actually brought me a little comfort in that at least I knew it wasn't the machine itself that was busted.
I wasn't about to let that stop me though so I called the XBox a POS, unplugged the hdmi cable from the XBox and plugged it into my Laptop and carried on watching Netflix all night.. Which is when another issue I've been having came back into light.
Whenever I'd go to watch a show on XBox Netflix, it will load the first episode of whatever I'm watching in a flash, but come the next episode it will load to 25% - and stop there for a good 6-8 minutes until the show finally loads and starts playing again. This pattern will continue for as long as we're watching Netflix.
I found that if I shut the XBox off, back on and bring up a show, it starts up nice and quick, but any consecutive episodes and I'll get the same problem with the stop at 25% and long wait in between episodes.
This problem has persisted for months and months on end, with ONE instance where I think I got 2 or 3 episodes to play back to back with no slow load times.
I did a little research and found out that Netflix had been having issues with another company about streaming data, or something along those lines, and THAT is where the issue of slow load times was stemming from. However, when I booted up Netflix on my Laptop I didn't have a single issue. At most maybe 2-3 seconds load time between episodes.
I really don't think its the XBox itself that's busted, I mean I can run YouTube without a hitch, play any and all of my games with no problems, no lag while playing online.. It's just Netflix.. Drives everyone who comes over absolutely nuts hahaha.
So the question I have is: Anyone else out there having the same issue as I've been having?
Any successful fixes or workarounds aside from shutting down after each and every episode?
