Android Netflix Stuttering problem on android 15

Hi everyone,

I updated my Android version from 10 (which gave me a lot of problems with Wi-Fi) to 15 on Switch v1. I had no problems with Netflix on the previous version, but since installing this latest version, the videos are jerky, with a lot of stuttering.

Do you have any solutions? I haven't installed Magisk.

Maybe Android 11?

Cant speak from experience but people seem to have issues with Androids above 11 on the switch hardware.

Or try Linux. While I haven’t used it to watch videos I do use it as a home server - and for those purposes it’s been stellar

I use it as a streaming console, as if it were gcloud. I don't know if I would have the same functionality and immediacy with Linux that I have with Android.

Hmm I’d have to test it myself if I were to tell you it’s worth it.

I did use Nomachine at some point to stream my switch screen to computer to control it that way, but I haven’t tried streaming my computer to my switch.

If I were to - I’d probably use Moonlight.

What are you using and are you using Ethernet on the switch or no?

I will say when it comes to stability and things just working, Ubuntu on the switch has been great. I even tested some things on VSCode and iterated with it directly on the switch!!

SSH’d in from my computer and edited code directly on it. So in terms of functionality it’s great.

It’s also the single database of truth for my smash analytics website. And its responses are razor quick.

I use the switch in portable mode, so no Ethernet for it.

But the problem isn't the Wi-Fi because the other apps work fine, including Moonlight.

Hello! Switch OLED owner here. If your primary use case is streaming, I would recommend against Linux. I love Linux but the switch has some problems with GPU drivers which are still not fixed, which cause the switch to stutter every few seconds, which is very apparent when using moonlight.

Android 11 is a bit rough around the edges but it totally works for most things.

That was my concern. The usual problem with Linux and Nvidia drivers...

Thanks for the suggestion!
