When I power on my PPM without a network connection, the date is set to 2006. This means that trying to play downloaded movies in Netflix gives an error. If I then connect to a network, the time is set correctly and the movies can be played.

I think maybe the Netflix app always tries to check some DRM related stuff to be able to play a file, and yes, it could be as simple as a date/time check online. But having a solution for the timekeeping would indeed be great.

Guys, there is no clock in our projector so there is no way to keep the time after reboot. We tried to implement something different with our engineer but failed.
The only way is to make the put the time in manual mode after reset

The company updates its weekly "Top 10 on Netflix" every Tuesday, based on hours viewed from Monday through Sunday the previous week for original and licensed titles. Netflix's rankings are broken down into top 10 charts for films in English, TV in English, films in non-English languages and TV in non-English languages.

A ranking of all-time most watched titles also lives on the site, detailing shows that have the most viewing hours in their first 28 days of release. Netflix also has these split into films in English, TV in English, films in non-English languages and TV in non-English languages -- but for our charts below, we don't differentiate between languages.

If a new season releases its episodes in two parts on different dates, Netflix counts the watch time of the first volume's episodes for their first 28 days, then it counts the watch time of the second volume's episodes for their first 28 days. These all-time rankings are also updated every Tuesday, whenever any programs make it into the charts during the week prior.

Shows and movies need sustained popularity in many countries to crack into the all-time most watched charts. That means you can see titles with "Top 10" badges in Netflix's app for days, but they still may not be generating enough hours of viewing to make the all-time rankings.

For example, the first half of You's fourth season came out Feb. 9. The show, a popular psychological thriller about a serial killer, generated 183.9 million hours of viewing since then. And each subsequent season of the show has grown in popularity. But because this season is being released in two parts and the second half of the fourth season won't be released March 9, the final tally for You's full viewership won't be clear until early April.

Meanwhile, teen mystery hit Outer Banks returned on Thursday with its third season and racked up 155 million watch hours in just four days. And true-crime limited series Murdaugh Murders and British horror-thriller film The Strays, both released Wednesday, have been building search interest on Google.

But TV shows need to eclipse half a billion hours to make it onto the all-time list, and films need more than 200 million. Even the most popular shows and movies need multiple weeks and enduring attention to accumulate enough.

The following are Netflix's most watched series, based on Netflix's own reporting of total hours viewed in the first 28 days of each title's release. Again, if a new season releases its episodes in two volumes on different dates, Netflix counts the watch time of the first volume's episodes for their first 28 days, then it counts the watch time of the second volume's episodes for their first 28 days.

Netflix appears to have never released a non-English-language film that generated enough viewing hours to make it into an overall top-watched ranking. But additional widely watched non-English language movies on Netflix have included:

In Netflix time travel movie The Adam Project, Ryan Reynolds plays a fighter pilot from the future, who crash lands in the present and meets his 12-year-old self. Together they must save the world in a journey that harkens back to Amblin classics from the 1980s while featuring some great needle drops.

Time travel stories have always been a popular narrative choice, with the highest-grossing film of all time, Avengers: Endgame, fitting in the genre. Videogames such as Mortal Kombat 11 also use time travel to great effect. But with The Adam Project being a Netflix original, there are more time travel movies on Netflix to watch after seeing Reynolds quip his way through another memorable performance.

No matter the time period, time travel movies have always been popular. Whether it is the latest Ryan Reynolds and Netflix collaboration The Adam Project or the sci-fi action masterpiece The Terminator, time travel fans are spoiled for choice. Netflix in particular has plenty of great movies in the genre worth visiting, and some of the best time travel movies on Netflix will have you watching them over and over again.

Rob (Marlon Wayans) is about to marry the girl of his dreams, Megan (Regina Hall). But after a night out with his best friend results in Rob waking up naked in an elevator, he must race to the altar to make it in time. Failing that, Rob wakes up again in the elevator, realizing he is trapped in a time loop and must relive the hour over and over again.

Working like a mix of The Hangover and Groundhog Day, Naked will appeal to anyone who enjoyed those screwball comedies. While it is not one of the best time loop movies, it still offers some laughs and is a good enough way to kill an afternoon on the couch.

Like The Adam Project, Captain Nova follows a fighter pilot who is sent back in time to stop a catastrophe. Nova (Kika Van De Vijver) finds herself transformed into her younger self due to her journey through time, however, making it hard for adults to take her seriously as she warns them of the dangers to come.

Hailing from the Netherlands, Captain Nova makes for a nice change from the American movies that dominate the time travel genre on Netflix. Due to its protagonist's youthful transformation, Captain Nova is a kid-friendly take on the formula and can be enjoyed by the whole family.

Produced by legendary director Spike Lee, See You Yesterday follows two teenage scientists, who are attempting to create a time machine. After one of their older brothers is killed in a police shooting, the pair activate their machine to travel to the past and save him.

While still following the conventions of time travel movies, See You Yesterday stands out with a plot that focuses on relevant social issues. By bringing light to matters that are still plaguing society four years after release, the film is a unique choice within the time travel Netflix catalog.

Beginning in 1988, In the Shadow of the Moon follows Thomas Lockhart (Boyd Holbrook), a police officer determined to become a detective. When his city is plagued by a serial killer, Lockhart begins investigating, eventually discovering the killer comes back every nine years. As the case deepens, time travel eventually becomes a factor.

In the Shadow of the Moon feels like a callback to the detective thrillers of the '90s, like Se7en. While it does tend to lose focus as more outrageous plot points are introduced, In the Shadow of the Moon remains a solid choice for anyone looking to discover their next crime obsession.

Another quality entry in acclaimed duo Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson's trippy shared universe, Synchronic stars Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan as paramedics and lifelong friends. After a new drug sweeps their city, resulting in the deaths of its users, the pair investigates after Dornan's daughter goes missing.

The film delves into time travel in ways that will not be spoiled here, but needless to say Synchronic is a trippy film with a central mystery that unravels over time. Both leads excel in their roles and share great chemistry, with Mackie, in particular, delivering a fantastic performance that shows what he can offer when given more meaty roles outside the MCU.

Waking up to intruders breaking into his home, an engineer (Robbie Amell) finds himself trapped within a time loop. With each death sending him back to the start of the invasion, he works to defeat his pursuers and escape with his lover (Rachael Taylor).

ARQ works as a sci-fi spin on films such as Happy Death Day, with the audience learning new information alongside the protagonist with each subsequent loop and eventual death. While not as charming as Happy Death Day, ARQ still offers an enjoyable take on the genre.

When We First Met follows Adam DeVine, of Workaholics fame, as he repeatedly goes back in time to try and win over the girl of his dreams (Alexandra Daddario). Being a romantic comedy, the film stands apart from other time travel movies that focus on more serious consequences.

While We First Met does not offer much new to the genre, though DeVine gives an admirable performance to help carry the film. Fans of his stand-up or the aforementioned Workaholics should have a good time watching his numerous attempts to escape the hellish nightmare called "the friend zone."

Waking up the morning after his wedding to discover that his life is jumping forward in time every few minutes, Teddy (Rafe Spall) is forced to use his dwindling time to stay with the woman he loves. With every jump causing them to drift further apart, time is running out for the bumbling lead.

Like When We First Met, Long Story Short uses time travel in a romantic comedy, albeit in a more urgent way. The Australian film was directed by Josh Lawson, known to audiences as Kano, the best part of the recent Mortal Kombat film.
