Flickering on Netflix after Sierra update

Since updating my MBP 13 yesterday there is a massive amount of flickering when watching Netflix in full screen mode.   Updating Silverlight did not resolve the problem.

Has anyone a possible solution for this?

Thanks

I think I'm having the same issue! I'm not sure what is the proper word for what is happening, but my "flicker" happens every minute or so when I'm watching Netflix full-screen. For a very brief moment (around 1 second) the image kind of duplicates and moves to the right very quickly. This didn't happen on El Capitan for me.

 

Some stats:

  • Macbook Pro MF839 (13-inch, retina, early 2015, 128GB SSD)
  • MacOS Sierra

 

Here are some tests I worked on:

  • I've performed a Safe Boot and also a PRAM Reset - no improvements.
  • This issue happens on both Safari and Chrome, so I think it is not browser related. Probably some rendering issue with the video card.
  • If I change the display mode to scaled and choose all the options but the default one, the flickering stops (so it only happens when it "feels like 1280x800").
  • If while I'm watching Netflix I move the mouse pointer to the top of the screen (showing the menu bar) and keep it there, the flickering stops.

 

@plantbased: could you share your settings just so we know if we have the same problem, or if other people can help us?

Hi there,

I have a MBP 13-inch, retina display, early 2015, 128GB SSD with MacOS Sierra.

Flickering stops as soon as I move the mouse pointer to the top and the menu bar is shown. But apart from this I haven't figured out another way to solve the problem.

Fantastic, that means we have the same MBP.

 

I've made some research during the day, and I come with a quick list of things to try. Here are the things I did that didn't work:

 

However, I did one thing that made the playback seem normal:

  • Use Firefox

 

Could you try running Netflix on Firefox and see if it behaves correctly? What happens on Chrome? I believe the issue is with some sort of rendering technique only Chrome and Safari use.

I'm having the exact same issue, early 2015 13" retina macbook pro, only the ssd differs (mine is the 512G one) but I guess it's not relevant

 

Will try the resolution workaround and update, thank you for your suggestions!

Great, it's probably related to retina macbooks in general... I hope we can find a solution. Let me know if Firefox works well for you.

Same here, also MBP 13 2015!

Hi mathisiak! Does Firefox work for you?

Yep, no problems with firefox...

Same here no problems with Firefox.

Has anyone solved the issue with Safari?

No problems with Firefox for me too, seems limited to Safari and Chrome

The issue still happens here, this is really frustrating 

 

I'm checking threads daily to find other people who face this issue. There was one guy here (Random screen flickering while watching videos.) who described an issue, but apparently it got solved. I think it was a different problem than ours.

Same problem here. It's like the movie had a bad/ruined frame every 1 or 2 minutes for me.

 

MBP 13 Early 2015

i5 2.7

16Gb Ram

Same issue here, same computer - MBP Retina 13" early 2015 256GB, 2,7GHz i5 and 8 GB RAM. So far I've only noticed this when playing Netflix fullscreen on Chrome.

 

At first I freaked out thinking I somehow managed to damage my screen, but it really only happens when watching Netflix, which is really annoying.

I have the same problem, started immediately after the update. It happens only when playing Netflix, randomly. I am using Chrome. Will try Firefox.
