Whether I’m on wired or wireless connections. Whether I’m on phone, tablet, or PC, etc. Whether I’m using an official app or browser. It can be Netflix or YouTube, etc.
It just stops playing. If I click earlier in the video or even later in the video it plays instantly and fine.
But, if I click before, it always stops at the same spot.
I just had this problem again and tried playing a Netflix show on two different PCs (both on Ethernet), iPhone, S22, Fire tablet, etc.
Used PC Netflix app as well as Firefox, chrome, Brave, Edge, and Opera.
I’ve also had this same issue on completely different network connections in different countries and states.
Why, and is there anything I can do?
Also, let me know if there’s a better subreddit to post in.
