Anyone trying to run Netflix on an old tablet? I'm asking 'cos we've got an ageing Acer iconia which up until very recently has been able to cope with the apps installed on there (spotify, kodi, disney+, plus a host games and other crappery) but Netflix has decided to foul up and send the whole video stream a shade of pixellated pink or green. The video still plays as you can make out the image in what looks like those moving stereograms from the 90s. The audio's fine and written titles appear fine as well. The tablet's been flattened, the apps reinstalled, caches cleared. Other than exorcism I'm not sure where to go next. :C Netflix's site clearly shows they know about this issue, but have a standard 'we're investigating it' message when delving any further. What does teh posse think, tablet too old, new unsupported codecs on this tablet, or something else? Drawings n' that PIBEES

It almost sounds like you're getting a 3d feed (as in for those '3d' tvs you need to wear glasses with red and green-tinted lenses to watch) ? Is that still a thing? Don't like a bad tweet? Block the tweet, its author, and every single person who liked it — and every stupid dickhead on the internet who didn't get the joke: FUK-U-ALL the app (ad-supported).

The picture's all garbled though, but will resolve itself for a few seconds, then go back to garbled. I'll try grab some real life video evidence later on. Drawings n' that PIBEES

Damn this thing's already had more updates than Windows 10, and I've only had it for a couple of days. Don't like a bad tweet? Block the tweet, its author, and every single person who liked it — and every stupid dickhead on the internet who didn't get the joke: FUK-U-ALL the app (ad-supported).

Here's the dodgy video issue I'm seeing (audio was going through headphones, but plays perfectly normally) It's only affecting Netflix, but the weirdness goes a bit further in that text in the video seems to be unaffected. Drawings n' that PIBEES

;-) so far performance has been unaffected. And I haven't had to recharge it in 3 days. Don't like a bad tweet? Block the tweet, its author, and every single person who liked it — and every stupid dickhead on the internet who didn't get the joke: FUK-U-ALL the app (ad-supported).

DRM? Maybe your tablet isn't fully supported for DRM by the app or your browser. The sound stream won't be encrypted so that's fine, and it's possible that some of the titles are held as a separate stream as well. Or maybe as stationary images they can be decrypted (more) successfully. I've lost track of what Netflix does, but they've used and/or are using MS Playready, Widevine, and Playfair. They've been withdrawing support for older devices over the last 2-3 years, so maybe this is the issue. If you're using the app, have you tried playing through Chrome or Firefox instead, and vice versa? He May Be Your Dog But He's Wearing My Collar

Yeah it looks like the ppv channels that you didn't pay for on a motel tv. I think you're on to something. Don't like a bad tweet?

Finally found an app that will do SMB shares AND play musics in the background; Total Commander. It's a two-pane affair like other *** commander unix file browsers (I like Midnight Commander on linux distros). It seems the trick to SMB > v1 on android is the share has to be user/pass, not guest access. Don't like a bad tweet?
