Just a black screen with audio on my Sony tv. The Apple TV and iphone are connected via mirroring but cannot watchx Netflix !! Please help software on all devices are up to date. Cannot way h downloaded movies via Netflix and can watch live streaming movies via Netflix! Is this a restriction by Apple ??
Hi. This is a restriction implemented by the Netflix app. Apps can decide how they interact with AirPlay and mirroring. Apple is not involved. Have you tried not using mirroring, instead using the AirPlay icon in the lower right of the video player?
As I said the downloads are blocked from airplay, this is due to copyright and the agreement with the providers (not Netflix itself). You would likely find the same on other video streaming services that offer offline viewing. If you want to watch on another device then you need to stream directly or stream on the phone and use airplay
The Netflix app for iOS supports AirPlay, a proprietary protocol stack developed by Apple, which allows wireless streaming between devices of multimedia content. This means that you can stream Netflix movies and shows from your iOS devices to any AirPlay-enabled devices over local Wi-Fi. And because the app also supports offline downloads, you have everything you need to enjoy Netflix offline on your Mac. Well, almost everything. You also need an app like AirServer so you can receive AirPlay streams on your Mac.
The easiest and proven solution is to access Netflix via Google Chrome browser on your Mac as @Nimesh Neema explained. You can even stream to any TV using Chromecast in Google Chrome browser and with $35 Cast dongle device (at any best buy) that plugs into any TV with HDMI plug.
There is no official Netflix macOS app. You can only stream video from Netflix on a desktop computer using a Web browser and Internet connection. It is also not possible to download movie from Netflix website on a desktop computer.
Let's be clear right away: Netflix has gone to great lengths to protect its content from illegal copying. Even if you want to keep a copy of a movie on your hard drive for your own collection, it is unlikely that you will be able to easily download it. Netflix blocks attempts to record the screen or use programs to save videos from the internet. Moreover, all videos downloaded from the Netflix app are stored in encrypted form, and these files cannot be transferred to another device.
Since Netflix has an app for Windows, this opens up the possibility of downloading content directly to your Mac, albeit through a different operating system. Check out the guide to installing Windows on a Mac and also the instructions for owners of newer Macs. Remember, Windows is a paid OS, so this method involves additional costs.
You may also wonder if you can save a movie from Netflix using programs that download videos from the internet, such as Pulltube or Downie. The answer is no. Netflix blocks such attempts. However, these apps can easily save files from YouTube and dozens of other websites. If you need content for your personal viewing, for example, while you travel, this could be the solution.
And if you're looking to transfer videos saved from the internet to your iPhone or iPad, consider AnyTrans for iOS. It's an excellent tool for easily exporting and copying content by categories in a single tap.
Please note: Saving content from Netflix using non-original apps may be considered unethical or illegal. Before doing it, please read Netflix's terms of service. For more information on offline viewing, check out our article.
Moreover, the list of shows to watch also varies by country, depending on local demand and distribution rights. If another company owns exclusive streaming rights in a particular region, Netflix cannot offer that content there.
This can be a real pain for people traveling for business or pleasure. For example, a US resident might miss out on their preferred content while in France. In this case, we recommend using a VPN, an app that changes the IP address of your connection and tricks the browser into thinking you are in another country.
For connecting to Netflix, ClearVPN is the best option. All you have to do is install the app and select the platform you want to use (Netflix USA, Netflix UK) in the Streaming section. In a few seconds, you will have access to your usual content.
Another thing you should know is that every Netflix plan in the US allows you to download shows for offline viewing. However, you may receive an error notification: "You have downloads on too many devices."
The thing is, each of Netflix's plans allows you to upload videos to a certain number of devices. For the US, it's 2 devices for Standard with Ads and Standard and 6 for Premium. Rules for other countries may differ.
That notification means that you're trying to save videos to more devices than your plan allows. If you wish, you can remove downloads from one of the devices or upgrade your plan in the Change Plan section in your account or through the support.
Another error you may encounter is when Netflix says, "Download Failed". What should you do? Click on the notification icon (!), find the error code, and enter it in the search here. Try to fix the error, and if it doesn't work or you have other trouble downloading from the Netflix app, contact support. If there is no error code, try updating the app. This should help.
As you can see, your options for downloading videos from Netflix are almost entirely limited to using the standard apps created by Netflix. However, you can improve your viewing experience with a few tricks. For example, if you travel to a country where your usual content is unavailable, use ClearVPN. It allows you to watch and download movies as if you were at home.
The downside to this approach is the need to create a local Wi-Fi network, which takes a toll on the battery life. You also need to have both your iOS device and your Mac computer turned on, so you should definitely bring all your chargers with you to avoid running out of juice in the middle of the last episode of Stranger Things.
YouTube launched a paid streaming subscription service, YouTube Red, in 2015, giving subscribers access to ad-free content and exclusive movies and shows. The service currently has around two million users, and it has already given us many original films, documents, and series.
Sling TV is an American over-the-top internet television that was unveiled on January 5, 2015, at the Consumer Electronics Show.

If you're familiar with using Netflix on your mobile device, you've probably noticed the dark "Download" button that sits right below "Play." Clicking that button starts a download of a local version of the movie or TV show you want.
You can download Netflix movies and TV shows on iPhone, iPad, Android and Amazon Fire devices, as well as computers with Windows 10 or 11 and some Chromebooks and Chromeboxes. Netflix downloads are set by default to only use Wi-Fi, though you can change that in your app settings.
TV shows can be downloaded individually by clicking the download icon next to each episode. On Android devices, you can download an entire season of a show by tapping the separate Download Season button next to the My List, Rate and Share links near the top of a movie or show listing.
Netflix allows you to keep a maximum of 100 downloads on as many devices as are included in your subscription plan. Each of the downloads has a different expiration date based on its content license -- some expire as early as 48 hours after you first start watching. Downloads can be renewed, but some have a limit on how many times per year. If a movie or show leaves the Netflix service, all downloads for it immediately expire.
You can delete individual movies and shows by unselecting the check box next to each title. You can remove all of your downloads by going into your App Settings and clicking "Delete all downloads" under Downloads.
A "Downloads" tab (called "My Downloads" on Windows) that sits at the bottom of the Netflix app shows you which downloads are in your library and lets you play them. It also lets you customize your download settings, such as Smart Downloads.
When turned on, Download Next Episode will automatically delete TV show episodes once you've watched them and then download the next episode in the season. It's a no-brainer for anyone who downloads TV shows, which is probably why the feature is turned on by default in Netflix apps.
Downloads for You expands the automatic downloading and deleting options for Netflix that are used in Download Next Episode. The feature is available in the iPhone, iPad and Android versions of the Netflix app, as well as some Chromebooks and Chromeboxes.
