I have a 4th generation Apple TV HD. I have no issues except with the Netflix app. I have a rather lengthy "My List" and ever since they deployed their ribbon interface I've had issues. After I've watched a video and return to the list, the longer I scroll, the scrolling begins to slow down. Over time, it slows so much that the app becomes unresponsive.

I contacted Netflix and after going through the usual motions, restart this and restart that, and explaining I'd done all this and that and telling them this app will work fine for now but act up later, their response was to contact Apple. Contact Apple? Netflix is the only app acting up. They asked if the problem is seen on other apps. I said my Mac is the only other place I watch Netflix. They responded, "Ah, the issue is the Apple TV since it works fine on your Mac."

"Seriously?" I said. The technology is different for each device. One is on a browser, the other is a device specific app. But they stuck with their mantra. Obviously, they're clueless and unwilling to expedite such issues to their app development team. Very pitiful customer service.

So I'm asking everyone here, is anyone else experiencing a Netflix app that runs ever more slowly the longer they use it? It acts like the app is sucking up memory until there's no more available, causing the scrolling to eventually stop scrolling, followed by the app becoming unresponsive all together.

I originated this thread. I've had a few discussions with Netflix about this and as others have reported, Netflix insists we contact Apple, which is ludicrous. The problem isn't with anything Apple. My most recent chat session is below.

This was a few weeks ago. Not surprisingly, I never was contacted afterwards. Netflix is headed down the path to failure by not responding to customer problems, something they cannot afford to do in an increasingly competitive environment. Will Netflix go the way of Blackberry and others? Companies too arrogant by their size to not see the approaching cliff.

Like any browser with too many tabs open, Apple TV uses memory keeping unused apps open. Netflix is affected more than others for some reason. The solution that works for me is to close all apps you currently are not watching. On your Apple remote, double click on the Home button (looks like a TV) and you will see all of the open apps displayed (similar to an iPad). Swipe left/right to select the apps, then swipe up to close the app. Netflix should run normally.

Same issue here. Netflix slows to a near literal frame-by-frame crawl and only restarting AppleTV temporarily fixes is. It seemed to start within the last few weeks. Also, I've noticed that I cannot alter "My List" on Netflix at all. I cannot remove or add anything to it. We have two Profiles and neither one's My List works as expected. I'm wondering if that's some conflict between AppleTV accounts and Netflix Profiles. I dunno.

Same issue here. Only app to have issue. Rest are perfect. However I found a solution that worked for me on the first attempt. On your 4K home page double click Siri just like you do on your phone and force closed all the opened apps including netflix. Than go back to Netflix and problem solved. At least it worked for me on the first try. Found this solution while I was researching this issue.

I haven't experienced any issue nor seen reports from others. That being said it would be Netflix's responsibility to fix any issue, and wouldn't have anything to do with Apple since they had no part in developing the app.

Thank you for your reply. Indeed, I have tried force quitting and deleting/reinstalling the app. As always, all works well for a while, especially up to completing a movie. Then, as I scroll over my rather lengthy My List, scrolling slows down, getting worse as I continue scrolling until everything freezes.

I also have this issue with 4th gen AppleTV. Exact same story as those above. It gradually slows down until it's unresponsive. I had assumed that Netflix would have addressed the issue in an update by now, but, I guess I was wrong. Hopefully someone figures it out soon. Super annoying.

dkpro, your problem is considerably different from the issue in this thread. I urge you to repost in a separate thread. If anyone has a solution for you, you'll likely never see it since this thread involves slow operation when perusing Netflix. Personally, I've not experienced the problem you describe. At least I haven't noticed yet.

My wife also has a long my list. Everything is fine at first, but after some time, mostly after watching a movie or some episodes of a serie, the Netflix app grinds down to a halt. Other apps have no issue. I have to restart the AppleTV to have the speed back. For it to slow down again later on.

When pausing Netflix on my apple TV it usually shows how far into the show I am, and at the right side of the bar will be how many minutes until the end of the show. Today, however, for maybe 10 seconds it was showing me the current time (10:49pm) and at the right side was when the show would finish (11pm). It then changed back to its usual display. I am wondering how to get it to show the clock time (e.g. 11pm) all the time

Is it possible to run zwift on your apple tv 4k and do some picture in picture to watch an movie on netflix or youtube? I allready tried it, it worked but had no sound. Used my iphone to airplay youtube to my apple tv, then picture in picture to start zwift. It worked but I heard no sound of youtube.

Oh, and for iPhone 15 peoples, the existing two-years free applies. Meaning that on the whole, Apple has deferred this potential-payment-problem decision till 2025. These days, the feature is available in the following countries, for both iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 users.

The core difference with an app like RideWithGPS is that it also has sensor support (even Garmin Varia radar integration), as well as uploads to all the various 3rd party platforms like a head unit (whereas Google Maps will most definitely not upload to Strava).

Two Things:
1-I like the PeakDesign phone holder on the handle bars, good choice!
2-I wish Peloton would allow none Peloton bikes to connect to their system, specifically for their scenic rides. I like to do those rides from time-to-time, but I am not a fan of the bike itself as I prefer to ride my Cannondale on my Wahoo.

Most other communicators (EPIRB/PLB, 911 call on a cell phone) will pass through an emergency call without any other charges, so long as the device functions. I think where Garmin and others in the satellite device arena are making their money is non-emergency check-ins and tracking, as well as messaging, rather than on a cost per emergency call.

I doubt it will ever happen, but it would be interesting if NordicTrack finally feels enough pressure to add Netflix to its platform after years of users having to use all kinds of workarounds to get it working.

Hi Ray, on my peloton bike+ (UK based) I only see the Disney App in the Beta Entertainment function. Is there a way of getting access to more providers or is all pushed depending on your country etc? There is the netflix app hidden away in the Apps area but there is no ride data displayed in a sidebar so pretty useless. Anyone else had similar experiences?
