As the title says,
I have used the directv player for a few years now, and have never had this issue before. But just recently I went to watch something and it told me to install the new player, so I did. Ever since then the playback freezes for a few seconds every 10 seconds or so, and also the playback controls instead of fading away will leave behind a black bar where they were supposed to fade away. The freezing is not a buffering issue, I can stream netflix and youtube and anything else just fine, and have had this issue in multiple locations (house, hotel, parents house, etc...). This problem only just appeared after installing the new player.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the player, along with Adobe Flash player. I have also tried updating my graphics card driver. Additionally, I have tried to watch in multiple different browsers (chrome, firefox, IE), and none of these steps have resolved my issue.
I hate to point a finger but I'm not sure what else to do at this point. Could I have done something else to my laptop that I have missed? Have skimmed the forums and the rest of the internet but have not seen anybody else with this issue thus far.
Also, I have tried watching from different computers and had no problems, so it's some sort've conflict happening on my laptop. It's relatively new and nice, so it should not be any sort of hardware issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
