Every time I try to watch a movie or music video, the screen keeps getting stuck and the circle in the middle of the screen keeps spinning.

Sorry for this late response but your answer to my dilemma was exactly what I needed! I've been watching my movies and documentaries ever since you gave me your suggestion and they are showing just as good as before, if not better.

Thank you SOOO much!!!
