Netflix on xbox? (who's doing it here)

I actually came to post something similar ...

I've run Netflix on an Xbox One for the 8 months with no issue, but the past few days it buffers and battles to stream. This on a 20mbps line and worse, it seems to work everywhere else (PC, PS4 etc).

Anyone else on an Xbox One having an issue?
 
Was having similar issues with XBox. Switched to AppleTV and it's working perfectly...
 
Yea I just watch on Playstation now - but it negates the reason for me getting Xbox One upfront.

I bought it solely for entertainment factor and the first blow was the surround sound issue on the HDMI input and now this. Add in the fact that there is no IR input or even a IR receiver on Kinect, it's a pretty crappy 'media hub'

Also having an issue. The last 2 days it "buffers" to 25% and then eventually fails saying the title isn't available. Tried everything from using different DNS servers, hard rebooting the Xbox, rebooting the router, and a few other things. It does, however, stream perfectly fine on my iPad, so it's Xbox One related. Also streams fine if I turn Unotelly off in the Dynamo for Netflix on my Xbox One. Raised a support ticket with Unotelly and they gave me a special Dynamo Netflix region to test with, but that didn't resolve it, so awaiting further feedback on what to try. Frustrating as my Xbox One is my main console, so don't want to have to now use my PS3 just for Netflix.

Exactly the same issue - 25% and stops.

I exit before it tells me not available, but sounds identical. Please let me know what they say!

Will do. From what I've read the 25% is actually fake, so if nothing loads further than that it's not receiving any data. Also read that the Netflix Xbox One app can sometimes ignore the DNS setting on the Xbox and force Google servers, so I setup static routing on my router for Google servers to ignore them, but that didn't help either. sigh.
 
Just thought I'd follow up here. Eventually got Netflix working again by using the "US Legacy Ada" option on Unotelly. Apparently "USBlend" and "US Test 1" might also work for the Xbox One, but didn't work my side.

Us legacy worked for me as well but the quality was horrible on a 4mb line
