Netflix subtitles not in sync

On my Apple TV 2 with iOS 5.0.2, whenever I resume a movie in Netlfix (Canada), the subtitles are not in sync, either too early or too late (3-5 seconds). It only happens when I resume a movie; when I start a new one, the syncing between the audio and subtitles is ok.


I don't have this problem on my LG Smart TV 2011 and my iPad with iOS 5.1.1. It seems restricted to the Netflix app on the ATV 2.


Anyone else has this problem?

Same problem here.

I tried turn aTV off and on, reboot, restart from begining of the movie, and no one solve this.

But I realize 2 things:

  1. If you press selection button, turn subtitles off and then turn on, while playing the movie, it solves and syncs again.
  2. If you go to Netflix on web (iMac, MBP) the subtitle sync is ok. Very strange.

I hope Apple and Netflix can work around this asap, cause this is very frustating. 😟

Same problem here. My fix (and it really works) is to fast reverse the film for one minute or so...that kind of shakes it all in to place. Wierd. Try it and see....hope it works for you.


I'm sorry Esben, but didn't work for me... I've even tried with each of the different speeds... One question, though: When you say fast reverse the film for one minute or so, Do you mean one minute according to the film (assuming it's fast reversing, one minute would take just a few seconds to fast revers) or one minute according the the clock in my wall (one minute according to my wall clock could actually mean the whole espiode)?
