Super Secret Codes

[Ariano Waiker]

Youcan put the secret Netflix menu to work to get full control over what kind of content you devour. It's all dependent on a code-based system. Different numeric codes on the service let you browse and select from thousands of niche genres and subcategories, whether you're into horror or rom-coms.

Typically, you're constrained to the genres available to you via the main Netflix menu. There's no way to choose by specific category other than what's been chosen for you when you log on. Using these codes opens up an entire library of options for you to choose from that can help you better settle on what to watch for the night. It can even help you discover new shows and movies you've never heard of.

Adding these codes to the ends of Netflix URLs lets you directly access collections of movies and TV shows that fall under your chosen category. For example, if you're short on time and want to queue up a shorter movie, you could check the 90-Minute Movies category with the code 81466194. Looking for something for your entire brood to enjoy? The "Family Movie Night" collection, accessed with code 2013975, is chock-full of favorites even Grandma can get into.

There are well over 36,000 codes to choose from, so don't worry about memorizing them or trying random sequences. Resources like Netflix-Codes.com have an entire directory to sift through, so you can search for what you'd like to watch there and find corresponding codes in no time.

Netflix-Codes.com has a comprehensive list of the streaming platform's hidden genre categories and subcategories. In total, there are around 20 top-level categories covering genres like animation, foreign films and classic movies. Within those main genres are many more hyper-specific subgenres denoted by numeric codes.

The entirety of the categories available on Netflix starts with broad main genres like Action, Comedy and Drama, but they get more specific as you dive even deeper. There are straight-to-the-point collections like Movies Directed by Women (code 2974953), or more specifically targeted curated lists, like Supernatural Soaps (code 81238162), just in case you like your werewolves with a side of angst and romance.

Are you a huge Swiftie? Is there another celebrity you want to learn more about? The Pop Culture Icons category (code 81278963) includes picks like the Taylor Swift-centric documentary Miss Americana or the Whitney Houston biopic I Wanna Dance with Somebody.

Maybe you've been told time and time again that you should really get into Korean TV and don't know where to start. Hit up the K-Dramas for Beginners menu (code 2953105) for a selection of hit K-Drama series like Squid Game and Boys Over Flowers.

Rather than relying solely on the standard homepage categories or Netflix's algorithm, you can use these secret codes to pinpoint and explore different nooks and crannies of the catalog to find hidden gems.

If you're not comfortable with editing Netflix URLs, you can use a browser extension to access the secret menus. The Better Browse for Netflix extension for Chrome is a great choice. Here's how to use it:

If the extension is installed, you'll see a Browse All option at the top of your Netflix home screen next to My List. Click it to scroll through the subgenres or to search through specific categories.

Alternatively, you can use the FindFlix: Netflix Secret Category Finder browser extension for Chrome or Firefox. This add-on will create a drop-down menu complete with Netflix categories for your browser that you can scroll through by clicking on the FF icon that will appear on the top right of your screen. There's no need to scroll Netflix natively with this add-on, and it features 7,500 categories alphabetized for your convenience.

4. If you're on a device that has the Netflix app installed, the app should open and take you directly to the genre or subgenre you chose. If you don't have the app installed, it'll open Netflix through the browser and you can view the specific movies and shows available.

Dotty Detective is a friendly, resourceful, independent heroine who lives with Mum, twins, Alf and Maisy, and her dog, McClusky who plays a big part in the mysteries in both books. At school her best friend is called Beans, Mr Dickens (Mr D.) is her class teacher and she has to put up with Laura, a girl in her class who can be quite mean. Invisible writing, secret codes and disappearing objects all feature in the stories and Dotty and Beans often take inspiration from their favourite television show, Fred Fantastic Ace Detective, to help them solve their mysteries.

I am always amazed that when people ask for a variable to do something, a lot of you know this stuff. Im not amazed that you know it, I'm amazed that there seems to be some super secret document out there that shows what a lot , maybe most, of the system variables do.

We have thousands of users in this forum.

I think everybody came across a problem one time where they needed a variable, then they found it and posted it

As far as the list

1) I dont think is a good idea to write a list (hundreds) because of copyright issues

2) Even if you write one, we wouldnt be able to keep track. There are thousands and thousand of variables

This requires a person to processed messages / emails from users and published them in the topic. Another problem may arise from the disclosure of information from the manuals that belongs FANUC without their consent may not be disclosed.

I really like this idea. Especially since it seems that about 1/4 of all the system variables are undocumented. I've discovered a couple of nice ones just through experimentation. Other ones I've found out from some one "in the know". Do a control-F for them in the system variables document? 0 results.

I would like to see a list of variables that are not in the current documentation, with a blurb of the theorized or observed affect of the variable is. How could Fanuc claim copyright when the variable in question is not in their documentation?

You could categorize them so searching through them is easier. These variables directly affect the mechanical unit. These affect the motion planner. These affect how ASCII upload works. It would be far better than how Fanuc organizes their system variable document (plain A-Z).

I agree with Nation. Knowing some of these variables can make our life so much easier.

For instance, on a thread I found: $MCR_GRP[1].$servo_disbl[9]. This one saved me already a lot of hours troubleshooting.

I think everybody should post usefull variables so we can list them.

Reading a couple of parameter-related topics, among this one, I notice a lot of the answers can be found in the manuals or documentation supplied by Fanuc.

I had about the same questions, sent an e-mail to our Fanuc representative and got all the information I needed.

I have to admit that not all information is in the standard docs, and as standard Japanese companies are not so very keen on handing over all technical info about there creation However so far it has never been a problem getting the right documentation in the right way (from the right source).

I honestly believe if your company has a Fanuc robot registered to them, all you have to do is call spare parts and they will set you up with an account for free. Also if you have ever taken a Fanuc class you can get access.

I took a class last summer and the access the students are given on the cRc site is far less than I already have working for an official integrator. I don't know if the access they are given includes access to manuals, I would guess not. Seeing as they only took a class, not buy a robot from Fanuc. Like you said though if you can show you own a robot you should have good luck getting access.

I am integrating system with tool changer, is there a system variable that will block possibility of manually changing current UTOOL with SHIFT + COORD?

I want the change to always be done with a tool change macro, for reasons that I hope are obvious.

UTOOL number is going to be set up by toolchanger program, so when the tool is changed physically the UTOOL number will be changed as well.

Programmer will start programming and by accident changes the tool number when for example switching between different JOGFRAMES or UFRAMES.

I want to make possible to change UTOOL number only by program command, not the Shift+Coord Menu.

You can have the tool changer program set a register with the desired tool number. Then have a background task constantly compare that register to the active UTOOL using the variable mentioned above. $MNUTOOLNUM If they don't match then set it back to the register value of the desired tool.

FANUC Robot controllers have a very large list of system variables, many of which are dangerous to change, and may not be documented. Many are for internal use and are read only, but some dramatically affect performance and are writable, at the least during a Controlled Start, if not normal Start. Some may require a Cold Start to take affect.

*Though these manual-mode jog and run speed changes can greatly speed up your development time, I recommend setting them back to original settings when putting the robot into service. Inexperienced or average users could crash the robot much more easily.

This stands for Cartesian Filter Enable. Documented nowhere, not listed on FANUC Variables menu (WHY?!) no mention of it on the net and 90% of Fanuc tech gurus are unaware of its existence. Can only be used as a program statement for enable/disable and it was suggested to be disabled by FANUC Japan after countless studies of one of my projects to solve a problem with Jerky movement on linear movement types when using continued turn. This didnt solve the problem though, merely offered a way around.
