Netflix playback issue on Shield TV

by cryptonium

I recently got an Nvidia Shield TV and when I try to play anything on netflix I get the percentage progress meter until 25% and then it stops for while and then slowly creeps until 100% plays a few seconds of the video and then re-appears.

On the other hand, on my PC Netflix plays immediately without any delay and the funny thing is that both devices are connected to the same network (Shield WIFI, PC Ethernet). Checking my connection speed at fast.com gives me around 42 Mb so my download speed is good.

I suspected wifi issues but when I download anything from Google it was very fast so Wifi seems to be working fine.

Any pointers on diagnosing the issue or fixing it would be appreciated.

have you tried connecting your shield thru ethernet and seeing how that goes?
