  1. OK you can do that. You can pause just that device in Adblocker and select disable. That's working. Great.
  2. Thanks for the speedy reply. That list you provided is helpful. The domain I saw blocked and tried to whitelist was a1.api.bbc.co.uk It didn't seem to help on its own. I also tried disabling the Tracker blacklist entirely but keeping Ads blacklist enabled and that didn't seem to help either. I didn't see any other blocks show up on the TV. I will try some of the other domains you suggested but perhaps your blacklist is a bit too aggressive as it stands if that's what's causing the issue. What would be really nice is if I can disable Adblocker for a specific device - that way my TV could work without blocking but my laptop or phone which I haven't noticed any streaming issues on could still block the ads. Cheers
  3. Hi, I've successfully upgraded my XR500 to this firmware version following all the steps. I've performed factory reset. I have an issue. My Sony TV (running Android) streaming has been really poor since I upgraded - it buffers BBC iPlayer - sometimes it doesn't even load the app or gets stuck signing in and displays an error. Same with other streaming apps like Netflix on the TV. Netflix would load and I could browse the library but it wouldn't stream. I tried many different features on and off - it's network is wired and connected directly to the XR500. I also tried Wifi and the same result. I found the problem is Adblocker. I disable Adblocker - reload iPlayer and it can stream UHD content I can see 20Mbps download in the network monitor - you can see video quality is great and no buffering. Turn Adblocker back on again and network monitor shows it starts to drop down to 1-2Mbps and starts dropping the video quality and buffering again. Disable Adblocker and it's back to normal again after reloading the app. It's not QoS. I tried that on and off. It's definitely Adblocker. I noticed a couple of Tracker domains blocked which I whitelisted - but it doesn't seem to help. It just seems to reduce the available bandwidth when it's streaming video. Hope it helps some people and you're able to look into a fix because I really did like Adblocker when I was browsing web sites - it definitely helped reduce the ads on some of the sites. Cheers.
