Hi, have you already installed Widevine (see here: Wildvine missing on New Brave )?
If not, Netflix may not immediately recognize that it is installed, and will only display a black screen over time.
@bergerbse,
Sounds like this could be a hardware acceleration issue. Can you try disabling it and see if that helps?

The new Netflix adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley is brilliantly shot in black and white. It's a meticulously built piece of filmmaking and looking at it shot by shot is a profound pleasure. Maurizio Lombardi/Netflix hide caption
I was happy that I didn't know a lot about the Netflix series Ripley before I watched it. I had heard, vaguely, that there was a new adaptation of the Patricia Highsmith novel The Talented Mr. Ripley, which has been adapted before, perhaps most famously in 1999's film of the same name. But I'd forgotten that the lead character, Tom Ripley, would be played by Andrew Scott, whom I have loved in everything from Fleabag (so sexy!) to Black Mirror (so creepy!). And I hadn't heard it was in black and white.
Perhaps not for that reason, but still to its great benefit, Ripley pulls hard in the opposite direction. This is chilled noir filmmaking, where deep shadows land in cheekbone hollows and light is carved into blocks by bars and blinds. Scott's eyes don't just look dark; they look like onyx marbles. It fits, because this version of Tom is not the kid who never meant to end up in a terrible situation and might have lived a perfectly normal life if not for his collision with Dickie's father, who believes Tom to be something he's not. This version of Tom is pure con artist from the opening frames, running small-time scams to rip people off for a little bit of money at a time, much of it specifically by pretending to be someone he's not.
Stephen Zaillian, the screenwriter and director, and Robert Elswit, the director of photography, are both Oscar winners. Zaillian won for writing Schindler's List; Elswit won for the cinematography on There Will Be Blood. (Elswit also was the cinematographer for Michael Clayton, which makes perhaps the most direct comparison not to the particular look of Ripley, but to its impeccable tension and dread.) They collaborate here and create a meticulously built piece of filmmaking that references classic noir and Hitchcock as well as Italian cinema greats, and just looking at it shot by shot is a profound pleasure.
In the very first scene you'll see in Ripley, Tom is moving a body down a flight of stairs. Were the scene in color, it might be overwhelmed by the sight of blood. In black and white, it is dominated by a thump-thump-thump, and by the sickening slackness of the body's uncontrolled limbs. Color would not enhance the dark corners of the story; it would in fact distract from them.
I can stream Netflix just fine when I play it using my Chrome browser. But, when I try to play Netflix using Safari (version 10.0), I get one or two frames of video, and then a black screen. I still have all of the controls and slider and I still get sound, but the video is just a black screen.
I just now tried it again using Safari, and got code S7363-1260-48444350 when trying to play a video. The code referred to an incompatible monitor. I tried again, and got the same issue as before, where I get a few frames of the video, and then the video goes black, but I can hear the audio and I still have control of the playback (e.g., play/pause, volume, etc.).
When I unplugged my external monitors and used only the laptop screen, the video played. So, I now know that the problem has something to do with my external monitors being connected to my laptop, even if I'm trying to play the video on my laptop screen.
Simple solution (os High Sierra) but Netflix have so far ignored my message! Forget all their solutions particularly concerning Silver Light, as that is no longer needed. This only began for me with Safari 11.0.1. I was able to connect using FireFox without issue so it had to be Safari settings.
Thanks, but I've already done an Internet search to find a solution to my problem. I've re-installed the latest version of Silverlight, and that hasn't helped. Also, Chrome works just fine with Netflix, which I think also uses Silverlight. I've also tried restarting the computer and the other typical non-specific solutions.
- I do get the display error thing (thunderbolt > VGA displays attached). Checked with develop tab if netflix works in safari 10 (don't see another version of safari in the list). However, if I select 'firefox: mac' and allow the silverlight plugin (that I just installed) then it works.
If the issue is the HTML5 player (since in older safari versions with silverlight, it does work), how do I force Netflix to use silverlight? It seems it always reverts back to HTML5, even if silverlight's installed.
Hey folks,
like many others I also experienced the issue of broken video streams and black screen phenomena when trying to cast (especially Chromecast) Amazon Prime, Netflix etc. on all the different Edge branches.
Well, after a lot of experimenting with different Edge flags, graphic driver setups, installing video codecs and so on, I finally found the solution. Researching how these streaming vendors manage DRM did the trick and the fix is so simple that I almost couldn't believe, lol
Background: The big streaming vendors all use DRM (Digital Rights Management) to control how their content is shown, especially in context with user rights (e.g. the limitation to only watch the same video on Amazon Prime simultaneously on not more than 2 different devices).
Now most of the streaming platforms are optimized to use Google's Widevine DRM technology, whereas Edge also supports Microsoft's PlayReady DRM by default (on Windows 10/11). But since it's not well implemented on many streaming platforms they struggle and give you all the above issues.
Black Mirror is considered by many reviewers to be one of the best television series of the 2010s, while some critics have found the morality of the series obvious or cite declining quality. The programme won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie three times consecutively for "San Junipero", "USS Callister" and Bandersnatch. Black Mirror, along with American Horror Story and Inside No. 9, has been credited with reviving the anthology television format, and a number of episodes have been deemed prescient by the media.
The series was originally commissioned by Channel 4 in the United Kingdom and premiered in December 2011. A second series ran during February 2013. In September 2015, Netflix purchased the programme, commissioning a series of 12 episodes later divided into two series of six episodes.[1] The first six episodes were released simultaneously on Netflix worldwide as the overall third series on 21 October 2016. The fourth series of six episodes was released on 29 December 2017.[2] A fifth series consisting of three episodes was released on 5 June 2019.[3] The first four series, as well as the special "White Christmas", have been released on DVD.[4] A sixth series was commissioned in 2022 and was released on 15 June 2023.[5][6][7] A seventh series was announced in November 2023 with filming expected to start by the end of the year.[8]
As Black Mirror is an anthology series, each episode is standalone and can be watched in any order.[9] The programme is an instance of speculative fiction within science fiction: the majority of episodes are set in dystopian near-futures with novel technologies that exaggerate a trait from contemporary culture, often the internet.[10][11][12] An example is "Crocodile", where the Recaller device used to view a person's memories is the main difference from the modern world.[10] Many such technologies involve altering the human body or consciousness, with little in-universe concern for the morality of these actions.[11] They provide convenience or freedom to the user, but exacerbate problematic personality traits.[11][12] Adrian Martin of Screen wrote that many episodes depict "basic human emotions and desires" that "intersect with, and get twisted by, a technological system that invariably spins out of control and into catastrophe".[10] Retrofuturistic designs highlight the theme of each episode, often showing a lack of comfort, emotional connection or personalisation;[13] the settings are generally patriarchal and capitalist.[14] Recurring themes throughout Black Mirror include data privacy and surveillance, virtual reality, individualism and consumerism.[10][11] Many episodes have plot twists.[15][16]
However, individual episodes explore varying genres.[10] Crime fiction episodes include the police procedurals "Hated in the Nation" and "Smithereens" and the Nordic noir "Crocodile".[17][18][19] Horror and psychological horror are features of "Black Museum" and "Playtest", respectively.[20][21] The first episode, "The National Anthem", contains black comedy and political satire.[22][23] Some episodes employ features of lighter-hearted genres, such as romance in "San Junipero" and "Striking Vipers", romantic comedy in "Hang the DJ", or space opera in "USS Callister".[24][25][26][27] Other genres include drama ("Fifteen Million Merits"), psychological thriller (Black Mirror: Bandersnatch), post-apocalyptic fiction ("Metalhead"), and war film ("Men Against Fire").[10][14][28][29]
