Netflix Watch Now Issues

This is actually in response to the following thread:

http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=8867

which is no longer accepting new posts (since it has been archived).

However, given the amount of time I spent dealing with this issue,
I thought it worthwhile to post something here in case anyone else
runs into the same situation.

The situation:

I'm on Parallels 3.0 Build 5582 under Leopard and I experienced
similar issues with Netflix Watch Now: Jerky video, and the audio
would cut in and cut out every few seconds.

The solution (in my case, at least):

After several hours of trying a number of different things without
success, I decided on a hunch to try disabling Intel VT-x support
under the VM settings.

And that fixed it for me. Netflix video and audio now play perfectly.

I'm not sure why disabling VT-x support cleared up the problem. I'll
investigate that as well at some point.

Interesting. I am on 2.5 build 3214 and Netflix Watch Now works flawlessly without any tweaking.

I am glad your fixed worked. But did you look at RAM settings or check bandwidth usage?
 
this has fixed the same problem for me, using the latest build (5584). i don't know if i'm taking a performance hit, but right now netflix is about all i use my VM for.
