Wow! RM 50K!

Anyway I am very appreciated happen of 4K HDR. This make me re-watch old movies that transfer in this format.

ya, i have some of them, good stuff.

in fact, more and more are now remastered this way.


man... for video, the ride has been... betamax->vhs->vcd->ld->dvd->1080p bd->4k hdr bd...->8k 12bit hdr bd?

Wah! Betamax! I never seen before in my life!

VCD - the most failure format, it actually is a format that get throw.
LD - very short life time, I still remember that time in my home town happen a lot of LD home entertainment shop for you to watch movie inside.

8K possible happen but not so soon I believe, also old film in analog format seems scan size limited to 8K already, any above it wonder how will it looks like, 12bit possible happen 1st, maybe will start with new format of 4K media since they is already start in this project.

Yes bro you correct.. i tested netflix movies
Found the bandwidth usage increases gradually once playing the movie and stops there after for HD 1080 and 4k uhd 2160 /
HDR resolution.. some HDR plays in 1080 some in 2160
for
2160p it takes 15.25mbps
1080p takes from 4mbps to 6mbps

Those are bitrate numbers, NOT streaming speed.... Which is why even for the same res, there are fluctuations between titles.. And yes, as i explained earlier.. Depending on circumstances, it can start much lower and ramp up as it sees fit or it starts off at FHD/UHD.. The latter typically happens if there's enough buffer...for continued playback of the next episode in a series.

pening already... ya was reading it brother

ya i even thought about why, speed is 100mbps but stops at 15mbps for 2160 streaming. hahaha
so the 15mbps 4k streaming, consistent stable connection consumes 13.7gb for 2 hours movie..
that means if the bitrate go higher, the movie must be consuming more data and the quality will be greater..
so if any broadband comes with limited data, should set the playback quality to low ?
so the saying of "minimum 25mbps needed to stream 4KUHD movies", is actually pointing to total bandwidth speed ?


Calculate file size
2 hours * 15.25 Mbps
= 2 hours * 1.91 MB/s
= 13.7 GB

That's just about right.. Because it's a streaming service, it can't actually push full/high bitrate 4K..heck not even high bitrate 1080p content. That would be too tasking for the average internet user. Which will cost then subscribers and means less money. So we know, their 4K isn't true 4K. Which is why, Bluray remains king. I've seen a typical 2hr movie file reach 40GB...for just the video stream and a single audio stream. ISPs worldwide will just crumble or end up charging us more and or throttling.. We don't want that.. So Netflix says they use about 7GB per hour for UHD content. So could be less or higher. However, I believe that most who sub to the UHD plan, also know to sub an unlimited quota internet plan. Else, one weekend binge watching session alone and one can burn through over 100GB quota.. Just like that.

right... that's how they do biz, get enough subscribers for high squeezed streaming.
qualitywise, only the less discerning can't tell.
which is why i don't even want to watch on netflix when i get get a better alternative for certain titles.
netflix is great for convenience and easy use for the whole family.
not the best choice if u go for high quality video and audio, assuming u have the equipment, of course.

correct.

now compare that to a 4k hdr atmos/dtsx bluray disc or equivalent of 80gb.
the bit rate works out to be 88 mbps - 5-6 times higher - u can already imagine the diff.
in other words, u r doing a disservice to yr tv (and good audio system) if u rely on netlfix!

Actually I only watch Netflix for TV series (origin or not origin) and some Netflix origin movie, others movies not origin from Netflix is all HD and 5.1 DD+ only where I don't watch either. Haha!

Maybe one day will be able to stream quality of 4K UHD blu-ray when everybody is on 5G. Haha!

I completely agree.. Keeping my account for donkey years is primarily due to their original production, the ease of access to titles and navigation. Waifu is able to navigate Netflix and YouTube apps on the TV far easier than even UnifiTV remote.. Android box? Despite the years.. Never seen her fire it up for use.. Only time it's in use is when I'm around and then we can watch stuff.. Else, nope.. TV apps strictly. As long as she happy.. Pay lor..

Netflix originals are god sent.. Truly what media should be. Collect and pump into good original content and next month. I'll throw my money at you again.. Haha

The day is here actually.. No need wait. TIME 1GBPS got.. Wait 5G? Later we all cancer.. I'm quite torn about the whole 5G saga.. To install or not.. How about they focus first on completely supplying stable and fast 4G everywhere?

Yup, Neflix origin is god sent.

Hahaha! 5G already tested by all telco now, high possible releasing coming 2021 in Malaysia. Soon we all get microwave heavy and die faster! oops...

TIME very less place have, mostly in commercial area only. So it got nothing to do with me as I can't have it.

I guess hit by truck or die cancer.. All die is die..

Hahaha!

guys need help
been a few days already
I couldn't watch Netflix on my tv app itself

can scroll all the titles and the preview, when I go in to the movie

it shows we're having trouble playing this title right now
please try again later or select a different title

selected so many others, still shows the same thing

reset my router, reinstall the app, re-log in again

semua x boleh....

the rest iPad, Chromecast all ok

help pls

Samsung TV? mine once a while also got this issue, usually solved by logging out the app
maybe your device limit reached? try going into your account setting there log out from all devices

sounds like yr tv connection to router isn't made - check that.

usually, restart tv or cut power will restore.

u mean no internet connection ar?

that one all ok wor, I check tv settings ok, then I use Netflix to check network status, all green green green ticks and the speed ok

it plays for a split second, then shows can't play

If good, youtube good, connection is fine.

Then, either a specific tv problem or... u forgot to pay netflix!

youtube ok wor

Netflix is paid for hahaha, the other devices working fine...

used to be happen before, but not for consecutive days

Whats your TV model and error code being thrown?
