IPS signature warnings streaming Amazon Prime Video

Hi folks,

I have been streaming Amazon Prime Video for a while and still encountering issues with IPS.
Any device streaming video from Amazon is put under a firewall rule having IPS enabled. Sometimes I am getting a lot of warnings of the IPS module within a movie or episode of series:

Any chance of getting rid of these problems without losing too much of security level?

Hello nnjabi, Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community! As per the screenshot, these IPS signatures doesn't seem related to Amazon Prime but rather to a Software that might be in your network…

Hello nnjabi,

Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community!

As per the screenshot, these IPS signatures doesn't seem related to Amazon Prime but rather to a Software that might be in your network called Winamp, they recommend to patch your software with the latest update http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=332010

Good day,

I don't use Winamp in my network. The traffic seen in the above screenshot comes from my AppleTV and it occures definitly while streaming Amazon Prime Video! The video stops streaming in this moment and I am getting bombed by tons of mails from my Appliance :-)

I don't see a chance bypassing audio/video in IPS...

Hi Ian,

this option is unchecked on my XG.
Without beeing offensive: Is this setting even applying to IPS?
