    Why is Netflix have such low quality streaming?

    Yeah, Netflix can control the quality of their streams. I don't know how they determine what quality to deliver to you, but you would have to take this up with Netflix.

    Why is Netflix have such low quality streaming?

    Even when watching HD videos on Netflix over either wi-fi or LTE on my Lumia 900, the video quality is so bad, it almost is unwatchable. My Galaxy Nexus played Netflix videos at a much higher quality than my Lumia 900. Is this something to do with Netflix
    itself?

    Netflix App Low Quality Streaming

    While playing video in Netflix simultaneously depress the Shift, Crtl, Alt and S keys to show the Netflix Stream manager. Select the Manual Selection and then the highest bandwidth for the buffering rate. Once you see that the higher buffering rate is in effect, move the video slider back to the starting point to restart the video. The video should now play and buffer at the higher rate that you set. Get rid of the Stream Manager overlay by again simultaneously the Shift, Crtl, Alt and S keys.

    The buffering manage can also be used using the web interface. Since the very beginning (pre-Windows 10) I've found that the Netflix app doesn't buffer or play at the highest rate possible until I change things in the Stream Manager. The web interface tends to ramp up better on its own.

    People,

    I've encountered another weird bug when running Netflix. I run it on Firefox because whenever I start Edge I get attacked by a zillion advertisements straight away (despite my ad blocker). If someone knows the solution to that one please let me know !!

    Back to Netflix then: I do not get subtitles ! Despite me turning on the subtitles in my language (Dutch), I get nothing ! Anyone know a solution to that ?? Running Netflix on my wife's 5 years old top-of-the line HP laptop with Windows XP works like a charm (with subtitles ! ) yet on my expensive Sony Vaio with the i 7 processor I have NO subtitles and mediocre quality. Thanks, Microsoft !?

    There are no ad blockers that work with Edge as far as I know.

    I think the settings given here are for the Windows 10 Netflix app and not Netflix run in a browser. I got into the stream manager (which I didn't know even existed) and mine is streaming and playing at the highest rates with no adjustments needed.
