Windows 10 Netflix app Bug *

After a long chat with Netflix on a chat line they responded thus to the Netflix Windows App (Not Edge). Edge is being shut down for 4K by CiscoVideoGuard which can be turned off.  Anyway this is what Netflix said re Windows App: Alright, as reviewed by our technical research team they found a bug inside the Windows 10 app that is triggering this 4k to be disabled and they are currently working on it. Though we were not given any estimated time but rest assured that this is being worked on. At least they have acknowledge they have a problem which is a start. Hope that helps. check out my web sites. https://sites.google.com/site/windows10okok/ https://sites.google.com/view/fxv300tech/home https://sites.google.com/view/fxv300/

Does Cisco Video Guard kill Netflix ? *

Image
I am now in a situation that I can make Netflix show 4K UHD Video via EDGE. This is now reproducible. If I load Sky Sports Player it loads CiscoVideoGuard and it is then put in the “Start-up” group.So it is there forever and EDGE will not show 4K UHD. However you can disable the action. So to have EDGE working disable CiscoVideoGuard. This can loaded manually when you need to view anything via Sky Sports Player. CiscoVideoGuard file location for me. C:\Users\Frank\AppData\Local\Cisco\VideoGuardPlayer\VideoGuardMonitor Within that folder there are lists of ports. I was wondering if these are ports used by Netflix? websocket.unsecured.ports=9005,12940,7165,8819,31840 websocket.secured.ports=9015,13526,26819,19274,17354 feature.MajorMonitorVersion=1 feature.MinorMonitorVersion=0 Netflix App is stuck on HD and I cannot get it back. Firstly this worked in 4K after I did a system restore. But once it ...

NETFLIX in 4K UHD working and ....and broken again *

I have managed to get NETFLIX to work in 4K in EDGE and Windows App once again. I did a system restore which was dated 2nd Sep 2018 and it all burst into life. I was suspecting a windows update but I am thinking it is something else. I watch in 4K for a while. It is now broken once again. The only apps that changed since the system restore is AVAST updated itself and I reinstalled Chrome. Also I launched SKY Sports Player which has CISCO VideoGuard protecting the video.... VIDEO GUARD stops working as soon as it detects apps that can take pictures (Paint, Snippet etc.). I am about to watch SPAIN v ENGLAND using SKY Sports Player so maybe I will uninstall Cisco VideoGuard later. I will post updates.  I was wondering if anyone else reported issues with  Cisco VideoGuard (version 9.0.1.4396) This basically proves the HW is all OK and this is a software issue. check out my web sites. https://sites.google.com/site/windows10okok/ https://sites.google.c...

BIOS Replacing the CMOS chip battery - CR2032 Replacing the CMOS chip battery that holds BIOS settings is easy but make sure you back up your BIOS.
