That's how the casting feature works.. Tablet casts to TVs or other device and that device takes over. You aren't streaming from the tablet and can't. Even if you buy a Chromecast and your Wi-Fi network is poor, you'll still get poor streaming results. If Wi-Fi is the issue, why not run an ethernet cable directly from your router to the TV and see an improvement.. Using the TV app is almost always superior to any other means.

Yeah i know how casting works. But for the Netflix itself, it doesn't work when i do the casting, it just opens up the native app in the TV and stuck on profile screen. I have to select the movie from the native Netflix app on tv instead of the one I cast from iPad.

Router is too far away from the TV unfortunately. =/

Power line home plug is it any good ?

if this is the problem, u gotta find a solution - use ethernet, access point, better router.

poor connection, poor speed... no tv or box or dongle will overcome it.

My solution is already connecting it to my devices via HDMI.

it's about how yr devices are connected to the router - cabled or wifi.

if wifi and devices are too far away, u can't get good connection, i.e. can't get good streams - with phone or TV or chromecast or box.

have u done speedtest with yr TV or phone? what speed u getting?

Netflix 4k needs >25mbps.

All my devices stream Netflix just fine, speed at an average of 95mbps +-
I am just having problems casting to my TV that's all, which I have done research and a lot of Bravia TV(s) open up native app instead of the movie you cast from the device.
Perhaps try reading my posts again to see the issue I was facing.
Thank you.

then i dunno why u said:
never mind... all the best...

This was my issue. Nothing to do with connection.
And i dont want to use the Native Netflix app on the TV cause it's hard to browse.

I understand... Tried a TV factory reset and it still doesn't work as intended? Guess you have to live with it until some TV or app update that fixes it is pushed.

Is it possible to use USB wifi adapter with TV though?
If my TV can receive 5GHZ wifi, might be faster. haha.

Haha.. I strongly doubt that is possible. Reading thru and the issue isn't buffering or not enough bandwidth to ramp up to say UHD res. But that something somewhere isn't right during casting. I'm going to assume you've tried casting using different devices connected on the same network? TV's definitely the culprit here. How about YouTube casting, does that work proper?

Yeah everything else casts normally.
It's Netflix.

But if I want to use the Netflix native app on TV, I would want my TV WiFi to be faster.

Can't be helped.. The Wi-Fi hardware and performance is what it is.. I still standby my initial recommendation.. Run a cable.

How are you brothers ?

just on curiosity we streaming from netflix server outside of malaysia or its located locally ? Pass 2 months i observered speedtest in netflix tv app did show above 90%..
But this month begining i noticed the speed result from netflix app not consistent.
However speedtest from Tmnet, ookla shows result 80 to 90mb..

I observed the content streaming in netflix the video rate takes time to reach the optimum..
Example HD content stops at 3.31mbps/1080
2160 4k content.. stops.at 11mbps , before this same video can reach 15.36mbps..
When the movie played the bitrate takes time to reach the optimum level, infact i never seen such lagging..

I am not sure this is due to my bandwidth fluctuation or netflix server streaming content itself.

I did complained to UNIFI, they claimed speedtest result in browser are fine no issue and this could be streaming server itself. They did reset my port remotely but still same lag.
I did reported to NETFLIX support team they claimed all good and pointing to ISP.

Is there any chance Tm unifi throttle bandwidth for netflix streaming ?

Is anyone experiancing this kind of issue ?

How to address this kind matter, bandwidth issue or netflix server issue ?

Unifi 100mbps
Wireless router dlink DIR-842 c2
Rj45 cable connection and wireless 5G connection both seems same lag.
However speedtest in website looks fine.
Does it really reliable as it is just testing nearby servers in local or nearby

Hey all, how long does it take for Netflix to include new season? The show that I'm watching, the season 4 just ended in May. But I don't see it on Netflix yet.

u didn't mention which show.

I'll try to be brief in response. AFAIK, in order to deliver fast stable service, Netflix has what they refer to as their Netflix Open Connect system. It consists of the following;
*Content Delivery Network (CDNs)
*Open Connect Appliances (OCAs)
*Internet Exchange Points
*Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and their Data Centers
*Internet Interconnection Locations...

Then we also have streaming device, bandwidth, cables and all between. Heck, Netflix even has a short list of best TVs to experience their service on..So yep, all TV's which can run Netflix aren't all created equally. Basically from Netflix down to your screen. For the ultimate experience, everything has to be in tip top shape..To the average person, most of these matter less.. Now onto your question, qualifying ISPs are given the same OCAs as present at Netflix's internet interconnection locations (strategically located places that serve users in the region...). This allows faster and more stable streaming of content. Generally ISPs in countries with medium to high consumption will take advantage of this. It's basically storing Netflix content (fast large servers...bla bla) at the ISP's data center and so when users request to stream a title, the app doesn't actually travel through the internet per se, but is simply connected to the ISP's data centers and voila, instant streaming and rapid ramp up. Those ISPs without OCAs have to be routed to the nearest IIL/IEP as per the region, and stream from that. So you can see... It's hard to exactly pinpoint where the issue might arise from.. Technically, not hard la.. But IMO, since you are still getting good results, neither TM nor Netflix will be fast to accept it's their fault.

This depends on the content creators and or owners.. if it's a Netflix original, then it will be a shorter time as Netflix doesn't have to wait until the content has completed airing on regular TV channels and or the cinemas (as is often the case with content they don't own and or have joint rights to release at same time). Also since a season finished in May, which is just 2 months ago.. Hey, relax some more la.. Acting, shooting and making content as final production takes hard work and requires much longer than 2 months to complete. I mean, you do want a good show right? and not some Sharknadon't reproduction..

Thanks for the reply brother...
When i fixed my mind for hdr or 4k content bit rate should be optimum in short duration time , if i observe it takes time to reach or drops while playing really bothers me alot..

Sure.. I can relate to that..Netflix is a great streaming service and should only get better with time and as our average internet speeds are more stable and increased. So until then and for such cases, I just wait for the Blu-ray version instead. You get proper high bitrate 4K HDR playback.
