I have a wireless audio configuration which introduces 200ms latency. This is usually unnoticeable because I watch almost all my video through mpv, which lets me set a 200ms delay on the video to compensate. I can't play Netflix titles through mpv, and as far as I've been able to tell, the Netflix player doesn't have an AV sync setting.

My setup is idiosyncratic, and I wouldn't expect Netflix to build in every feature of power-user video players like mpv and vlc. As long as Netflix uses DRM, their service will be inadequate for some small segment of the population, and that segment will pirate their content, because their DRM has done nothing to stop their content appearing on torrent sites within hours of its release.

No, it makes sense. You want to play videos in a video player. Until those services let you choose your video player, i will remain sceptic.



This works on the old silverlight player, not on the modern HTML5 EME-based player. I've been able to find some hidden keybindings that work, but those only display information. Let me know if you know how it can be done.


My tv can do this. And I think my Apple TV can also.


should have bought a digital monster cable instead..

would have had just as much utility and impressive shinyness without the latency..


I think you might be joking. In case you're not, get back to me when they release a wireless digital monster cable.
