Oppo 103D streaming issues

I use my Oppo for DVD's of course, and also for streaming from Youtube. Lately I have had a problem with the video locking up while streaming. The only way to cure the problem is to turn it off and back on again. Naturally when I do that I lose my spot in the video I was watching. I know it's the Oppo because when I bypass it and use the browser built into my TV it works fine. Since the Oppo output goes to my 2 channel system, I prefer to use that over the TV. Any thoughts on what may be causing the problem? Hint: It's not my internet speed!

That was my first thought too, check to make sure it's not a bad cable.

Did you try re-booting the unit, un plug the Oppo and press each button on the front panel to drain any stored capacitance. The see if it works better, sometimes all components with micro processing will need a full capacitance re-boot, or at least in my experience.
Also even if your TV works fine, I would unplug the modem and router and see if that makes a difference. Finally, if you have a spare Ethernet cable try it, it may be the culprit. But unless the cable gets moved in cleaning etc, I doubt it just failed and the fact that it makes a connection then doesn’t seems to be very low chance, in my opinion. Good luck, and if you have to send it to Oppo, please share that experience with us, now that they are out of the DVD player biz.

Just wanted to offer a quick update here. I believe I have found the resolution. I read on another forum that it is necessary to return to the factory default settings following a software update. I did that and now it seems to be working fine again. The unit will retain your internet connection settings when this is performed.

I’m curious.  Given the low resolution of You Tube sound, does it actually sound better coming through the 105 compared to the TV as a source?  Is your TV hooked up to your pre amp or are you using the TV speakers?
