I purchased an HD TV from the Second Life MarketPlace. The TV cost only $10L but is capable of streaming Netflix among other video sources. I'm on the most recent Apple OS for the Mac with Adobe Flash also installed.
Question 1: When Netflix appears on the new TV, where I had signed into my Netflix account (directly on the TV screen) and I logged into my Netflix homepage. However, if I select a movie to watch, I get a player error - "Netflix Video Player Unavailable. We are having trouble playing Netflix on your browser. Please make sure you have an official version of Chrome."
However, one guest was able to access the TV and we both could watch YouTube music channels. (I don't know what she did that allowed the TV video to be visible to both of us). Any ideas on how I can adjust the TV for multiple viewers to watch? (This may be a "Permissions / Sharing" edit, I am guessing).
Inworld media is presented using the Chromium engine, but it's not likely to be considered an 'offical' Chrome browser. If anything, Netflix is protecting itself from edge-cases which could be percieved as theft. Not saying anything has been stolen, but much like most janky 'Digital Rights' solutions, this could be what's preventing you from watching it.
As for others being able to access media controls, there are some properties in the texture tab when selecting the face used as the browser. You'll find options for browser bar visibility, access and such. ()y
Do you know if anyone in SL has been able to access Netflix videos (I have a real subscription, the TV recognizes my name and password and I enter my personalized home page - the problem is the actual playback - which generates the error screen)?
Media in SL is widely misunderstood to be coming through the SL servers. In reality all that a sim gives the client is the URL. The SL client establishes the connection to the media server, the media server starts the stream, and the SL client displays/plays the media. Video looks like it's playing in SL, but it's just in the SL client. That's why each person has to start the video for themselves.
Netflix is careful about allowing streams to only go to viewers they approve, so I doubt you could stream Netflix to SL. Even if they did allow it you'd have to log into Netflix to get access to their site & to start playing a movie. If someone else tried it on your TV they'd get the Netflix login screen and have to log in on their own account. If you shared your account information (very unwise) so you and others could watch a movie then Netflix would detect too many streams associated with your account and shut some down until only the number allowed for your account are playing.
I found the easiest way for all of this is through a site called [MODERATOR EDIT: Link to 3rd party site removed] so you can stream Netflix, AND if both peiple log into it on the same tv, they can watch together. You are welcome.
There are situations that are more likely than not to be actual violations, such as consistent log-ins to the same account during prime time at several repeating geographic locations within the same city, or daily simultaneous use in different countries or continents. There may exist isolated cases of legitimate use even within these occurrences, but they are hard to imagine and would certainly be in the minority.
Unsupervised learning allows for users with similar viewing habits to be classified into clusters without having to identify those habits in advance. In the example below, 15,100 internet users are grouped into five clusters using 51 usage metrics. As can be seen in Figure 1, not all clusters contain the same number of users. In fact, Clusters 2, 3 and 5 contain only 25 users between them. If this were my data set, I would take a closer look at these clusters to try to understand how they differ from the remaining 15,075 people.
That information may be found in the parallel cord plot below in Figure 2, where each line represents a cluster. Looking at the leftmost extreme of the plot, it seems the three users in Cluster 5, on average, had a larger tot_HO (total hours online) than the users in any of the other clusters, on average. This may be one of the metrics that distinguishes this cluster from the others. There are others as well, as indicated in the portions of the plot where the lines deviate.
The next step would be to consider these differences and think logically about which clusters are composed of users who are most likely violating their service agreements. The nice thing about JMP is that initially, if nothing concrete emerges, the platforms are designed to let analysts keep exploring the data until something meaningful pops out at them. Once that happens, they'll have a good idea of the accounts to target the warnings.
From there, a streaming platform like Netflix could monitor these accounts to find out whether there are differences in their usage habits. Doing so might indicate that some of the accounts had multiple households sharing passwords, and the warnings were heeded. A clear outcome would be to do this as a test in a localized region and see if there is a spike in subscriptions in the days or weeks that followed.
Perhaps streaming companies have ways of monetizing viewership apart from the subscription fees, such as product placement, and would rather err on the side of more viewers rather than fewer. Of course, how many viewers gained versus subscription fees lost would be the type of information needed before making those decisions. JMP can be used at every step of this process. Our software enables domain experts to wade through large and complex data sets until insights emerge that only they, being experts, can understand. It further allows those experts to distill the insights and present them in a way that is easily digested by stakeholders, thus ensuring any resulting actions align with the strategic needs of the business.
It'll be interesting to see what actions the various streaming services take to address this issue moving forward. One thing is certain: They, like many other organizations, will have leveraged the power of analytics to inform and augment the decisions driving them.
Note that Netflix's Basic plan is no longer available. If you are already subscribed to this option, you can continue to use it until you cancel or switch plans. With Basic, you are limited to watching Netflix on one device at a time.
As noted in the pricing breakdown, the Standard plan limits you to downloading Netflix content on two devices at once. With a Premium plan, you can download Netflix shows and movies on up to six devices at once. If you have the Standard with ads plan, you can't download at all.
While you can be signed into Netflix on multiple devices, you can only actively watch a stream on the number of screens included in your plan. This means that if you have the two-screen plan, you can still have three people signed into your account on various devices, as long as they aren't all watching at the same time.
The message should show you which devices are streaming Netflix with your account, and what they're watching. Ask these people to stop (via texting them or whatever is easiest) and you'll be clear to stream on your own once they stop. If you think someone is using your Netflix account without your knowledge, we've shown how to find out who is using your Netflix account if it's not immediately apparent.
Separate from the number of screens that you can watch Netflix on at a time, you can also create multiple profiles on your Netflix account. This allows each person that uses the account to have their own personalized recommendations, list of titles they want to watch, subtitle appearances, and similar.
Every Netflix account can have up to five profiles. This doesn't mean that you can watch on each of those profiles at the same time, though. Profiles are a handy way to keep each user's preferences distinct, but the amount of people that can watch Netflix at the same time is still bound by your Netflix plan's screen limit.
It was once common practice to share your Netflix password with other people, allowing everyone to save some money on the service. However, in 2023, Netflix started cracking down on password sharing. Now, the company has restrictions on people outside of your home using your account, so sharing your password with friends or faraway family isn't really an option. Your account is only intended for devices in your home to access the service.
Instead, Netflix now allows you to add an extra member for an additional fee. On the Standard and Premium plans, you can pay $7.99/month per person to add one extra person (Standard) or up to two extra people (Premium). While extra members get their own login information, the account owner pays for their cost. Extra members can only have one Netflix profile, and are limited to watching and downloading on one device at a time.
Consider whether you should share your Netflix account in this way carefully. While it might be cheaper to add a friend to your account, there are potential drawbacks compared to them signing up on their own.
Now you know how many devices can watch Netflix at the same time. In addition to watching on more screens at a time, a higher-tier account provides higher-resolution streaming. Consider upgrading if you have many people in your home who want to watch Netflix at once.
I am new to multiple Rokus. We are moving into new house and I have purchased Rokus for each room. When setting them up I understand that I can have them all connect to a single account or I can create individual accounts for each?
Even your Roku devices are connected to a single account, you can still view or watch different channels/contents at the same time. The purpose of linking them to just one account is to make sure that you won't be double-billed for any subscription that you will sign up for.
@iwasbutter1st, in addition to what @Strega said, if your subscriptions to the various streaming providers are directly with the provider and not through Roku then it doesn't matter what Roku account your devices are linked to.
