Without restart I don't think anyone would be able to watch anything. Either restart or unplug and wait an hour to get the device to work. Happens every month without fail. Mostly Netflix is what I use, home sahring was fair but cumbersome wil a large photo or music library. Youtube is good for three videos then it becomes lag city. Being that this is not completely positive shouting rainbows and gumdrops about apple, it will probably be deleted.
