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
Learn how to adjust your downloads settings to get Netflix to automatically manage it for you with its Smart Downloads features, and how to manage downloads for countries with restricted licenses. For more, learn about Netflix's hidden menu or see CNET's reviews of all the streaming services
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.
After Downloads for You is turned on, Netflix uses your viewing habits and preferences to download movies and TV shows that the service thinks you will like. Once you watch them, they're automatically deleted.
If you don't want to watch a downloaded title, you can delete it the same way you would delete downloads that you initiated manually. You can also click the icon of a square surrounded by a broken circle to cancel downloads in progress. Downloads for You only works over Wi-Fi.
Turning that feature on will then open up options for limiting how much data Netflix will automatically download for each user profile, anywhere from 0.5GB to 9.5GB. (Netflix notes that one hour of video at normal quality is about 0.25GB.)
Whether a movie or TV show can be downloaded on Netflix depends on its content license, and licenses vary from title to title. Netflix says that it tries to make as many titles available for download as possible, and when a movie or show is not downloadable it's usually because of three reasons:
In my informal survey, the titles I found mostly likely to be excluded from downloading are popular TV shows from cable or broadcast networks. "Grey's Anatomy," "Gilmore Girls" and "The Walking Dead" are three shows you can stream on Netflix, but not download.
Geographical restrictions that limit streaming titles in certain countries also apply to downloaded movies and TV shows. If you're traveling in a country where Netflix is not showing the title you downloaded, you won't be able to watch it, even though you already downloaded it in your home country.
Trying to watch a downloaded movie in a country where Netflix doesn't show it will result in an error message in the Netflix app: "Download Not Available in This Country -- Not all downloads are available to watch in every country."
VPN software that create virtual private networks can be used to get around geographical restrictions, but Netflix makes a strong effort to block VPN from working with its service. Using a VPN to bypass geo-blocking could also be considered a violation of Netflix's terms of use.

Note: The following steps are optional if you only want to control your TV with your mobile device or tablet. However, if you want to use voice commands through your speaker or display to control your TV, follow the steps below.
Verify that the Google Account shown is the one linked to your Google device. If correct, tap the close icon to close the account window. To switch accounts, tap the dropdown icon , then tap another account or Add another account.
Play TV series, TV show, or movie
Note: For TV series, each session usually starts where the previous session ended.
Request of specific episodes or seasons of a TV series is not currently supported.
"Watch [TV series] on [TV name]"
"Watch [TV series] from [service] on [TV name]"
"Watch [TV show] on [TV name]"
"Watch [TV show] on [service] on [TV name]"
"Play [movie] on [TV name]"
"Play [movie] on [service] on [TV name]"
When you play a TV show or movie using your voice, like "Hey Google, watch Orange is the New Black on TV," all of your next control commands (pause, next, etc.) will control that TV. You won't need to continue to specify the TV after the viewing session begins
When media is playing on your speaker or display at the same time as your remote device, all control commands will control your speaker or display, not your remote devices. To control your remote device, you have to always say "Hey Google, .... ."
If you stop playing content on your speaker or display by saying "Hey Google, stop," and you want to start controlling the remote device that is currently playing, you must first add to the next command you make to this remote device. Example: "Hey Google, next video ."
There are several ways to make money while watching Netflix. We like using InboxDollars to earn money while binge-watching our favorite shows. We also recommend working as a Netflix tagger, which involves categorizing shows and movies. You can also write closed captions for Netflix to make money from the shows and movies you view.
You could also start a review blog or YouTube channel dedicated to Netflix content. These allow you to leverage your viewing habits into a potential income stream. We also like the idea of using apps that reward you for participating in market research, such as Nielsen Computer & Mobile Panel and Survey Junkie.
If you like to multitask with Netflix on, you can visit InboxDollars to earn extra money as you watch movies and TV. InboxDollars is an online platform that pays you real cash to take surveys, play games, and more. Plus it's one of the lowest-effort ways to make extra cash in your spare time.
The YouTube Partner Program, which enables creators to monetize their content with ads, requires you to have 1,000 subscribers with 4,000 public watch hours within the last 12 months or 10 million public Shorts views within the last 90 days.
The process involves registering with Nielsen, answering some personal questions, and installing the Nielsen app or software on your device. Participation in the research panel can earn you up to $60 in annual reward points. Additional rewards can be earned by taking surveys and playing games. The reward points you accumulate can be redeemed for gift cards or PayPal payments.
