However, if I try to play a video (or preview a movie) all I can do is hear sound, but the screen is black with no video. I always have to have the flight attendant reboot the system. I figured I must hit a lot of buttons on the remote when I sleep and this causes it. However, on my last flight, I put the remote in the cutout in the seat to ensure I do not hit buttons when I sleep. Sure enough, I went to sleep, and when I woke up there was a black screen when I try to play videos. Nobody else seems to have this problem and it just drives me crazy because I cannot figure it out. Other than that I love the AVOD.
You are not alone...I just came back from a roundtrip EWR-HKG in BF and had that problem both ways...try hitting the fast forward or rewind button a couple of times and then hitting play...it worked for me...
