I am playing with the Netflix API. I am confused on what they want as the 'UserID'. (for a protected query)I am sending in this string (after authentication) to get the User's queue: -public.netflix.com/users/'userID'/queues
Maybe I am not even approaching it from the right angle. Any documentation or code I have found glosses over that part (My netflix ID doesn't work and I assume it should be part of the oauth token I get back, not my normal netflix ID)
Hope someone can help! There is a movie in my Save List, specifically Glass Onion, which is a Netflix movie. I want to delete that movie from my list, and there is no option to do so. I do understand that Netflix doesn't work with the Save List, which is the problem - the movie must have been in the My Feed queue before it changed over to Save List, and now it's stuck there. Just as you can't add a Netflix movie to your save list, you also, apparently, cannot delete a Netflix movie from the list.
I want to be very clear, before a rep responds, that I absolutely already know how to add and delete movies from my Save List the standard ways, and I do it all the time. However, the option to remove this particular item is just not there. But there must be some kind of recourse or workaround so it doesn't just remain stuck there forever.
So, any words of advice from the community? Anyone else had this issue and resolved it? If a rep can help, that would be great! (I also can't figure out how to contact Roku directly anymore, as used to be available.)
This issue is annoying me so much that I'd happily clear my entire Save List and re-add everything, just to get this one movie to disappear, lol. If that's an option, I also haven't figured out how to do that - how to clear the Save List (hopefully without doing a factory reset, which I'm not sure would even solve the problem).
Otherwise, search Google for "Roku telephone number" and look at the results just below the "People also ask" section. I tried to post one of the links (P***edConsumer.com), but my post got flagged and deleted.
For what it's worth, I managed to chat with a Roku representative, who was not able to help me at all. Like, AT ALL. Kept telling me to sign into Netflix and remove it from that list. Somehow I doubt that would help, because it's a separate list! Not to mention I am not even currently subscribed to Netflix - I don't even think it was in my Netflix queue, and I can't view it anyway, obviously. Regardless, there's another title stuck in my Roku Save list that has nothing to do with Netflix, and it too is stuck there.
OMG, I went in infuriating circles trying to explain this on the chat, and ended up basically being told there's nothing anyone can do about it. Not great, Roku. I'm pretty patient and understanding about most things, but ugh.
So the gist is, if there's a title which found its way onto your Save List in the past, and is currently either a Netflix title or not currently available to stream anywhere (aka "no providers found"), then you cannot delete it. And apparently Roku cannot or will not delete it for you. (Nor can you clear your entire Save List and start from scratch, apparently.) Seems like a system bug that needs to be fixed, and maybe I should report it that way, at least.
Again, that option doesn't exist on my app. I may have a different version of the app, I don't know, but it is not there - there are no dots at all when viewing the list as a whole, instead there's a box to check or uncheck on each title. I'll try to include some photos, to show what I'm seeing on my app:
Ok, don't shoot the messenger but I was asked to see if I could unblock the queue management area for Netflix but still block the streaming media part of it... We're using the URL filtering capabilities of the PA 2050 device and I have a policy defined that's based on an Active Directory user group to filter traffic. I'm not sure how I would go about doing this, any thoughs?
Its pretty basic, your going to create a rule that precedes your URL filtering rule. The rule will be from trust to untrust application will be "netflix" and action will be drop.
Has Palo Alto changed the Netflix signature recently? In September we had blocked the application per Phil's suggestion earlier in this thread and people were able to login and manage their queue but couldn't view any movies. This morning, though, I wasn't able to login anymore. Thanks --
@cshep: you would have to review all of the release notes to see what has changed between each version of the content update to see if PAN engineering have updated any particular application signature(s).
If you see the block in either the "traffic" or "threat" logs then that would be due to either an application update or an antivirus update. If you see the block in the URL filtering log then it is your URL filtering profiles that need examination.
I would say looking at the logs should give you an indication of whats going on with the block. I have a handful or preset filters for looking at that kind of thing. I'm running 3.1.4 code with the latest app and threat updates and have just noticed I'm unable to get to the netflix.com queue. I can get to the sites front page however loggin in doesn't happen. When I look at the traffic log is see a deny for netflix based on the app, i don't see anything blocked in the URL log for netflix so it's definately the app. I'd have to look back as well but I'm guessing a app and threat update changed something.
If you require assistance resolving this issue I would suggest posting some screen shots of the traffic, URL filtering and threat logs to this thread so that we can do some detective work and find the root cause of the issue.
Netflix noticed that people were filling their queues with aspirational choices, independent films and documentaries, but rarely letting them get to the top of the list. When it was time to check out, it was Notting Hill and The Matrix every time.
Customers visited the Netflix website more often and watched more movies. Netflix never looked back. Eighty percent of what people watch on Netflix comes from what Netflix recommends, not from what people search for.
The business model for Netflix is built on keeping you watching for as long as possible. The numbers are inexorable: Netflix has a 90-second window to help you find a movie or a TV show before you leave the platform and visit some other service. The recommendations are crucial.
I have had a similar issue issue for 4 days except that I see everything but my queue, recently watched and new arrival categories. Very frustrating as this suddenly happened with no changes to any of the setup in my home and affects 2 ATV's the exact same way. I spent 20 minutes with Netflix support on phone and got nowhere.
My issue was limited to yesterday afternoon. It worked fine before that, and now seems to be back to normal. I think it must've been a Netflix problem, and whatever it was, they seem to have cleared it up.
I've already tried the hard reboot and rebooting router and modem too. Also tried logging in and out of netflix. And resetting ATV. No luck on any. I feel it has to be something on the Netflix end since it effects both of my ATV units and nothing has been changed or updated on any of my network or devices to trigger this. I also had the general no connection at all issue last night several other users have reported. I've been at work all day so I'll have to wait to check again till I get home.
I am having the exact same issue. It just started a few days ago. I have tried everything I can think of to fix the problem including all of the things mentioned here. Has anyone figured out a solution?
Same thing out here in Hawaii. Netflix is not the same experience when I can't browse from the sofa with a remote in my hand. Besides, the Netflix queue on Apple TV is kind of a hassle for navigation (which is my only option at this point). After reviewing a title in the list, the "cursor" automatically jumps to the top of the queue when I use the "back" button! Not a problem if you only have a short list, but I have nearly 100 titles there, so I spend a bit of time scrolling to where I left off.
I have had a similar issue. It started a couple of days ago. On the ATV, I try clicking on Netflix, but nothing happens. I have tried rebooting, doing a factory reset, resetting my router, etc... I called Apple and they said that I needed to pay $30 in order to speak to a representative. I have an internet connection because I can go to youtube or access the iTunes store. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I can get thru the netflix menus, but then am told I am not connected to netflix, error 104. I can see things fine on my desktop (ahrd-ethernet connection) and I can see youtube on my apple TV. Same problem with MLB.
The premise is simple. When attempting to find movies to watch in my local theater, I often stumble upon titles that I feel to be more rental quality than theater quality. So I wanted an easier way to add those movies to my Netflix queue. I created a Google Chrome extension to accomplish just that.
The extension will parse the release year from the movie page, in order to guarantee better accuracy of results (There are a ton of remakes out there with the same titles). However, the actual year may vary. Some sites report theater release date, while others DVD release date, or the movie may have gone through a small showing and then a larger showing later. Thus, we allow plus or minus one year leverage when searching Netflix. See Cedar Rapids (2011) on Rotten Tomatoes.
