the same appletv device was used for about a year, then sat in a box for a while and is now connected at a new location (new house, new ISP). i enter user/password that work on other devices including a TiVo and a Samsung blu-ray player. the same creditials worked fine on this same appleTV box previously. i've entered it multiple times. i've entered it using the original remote. i've entered it using text entry via the iphone remote app. neither works.
Same is happening to me since I downloaded the software update last night - and I've been using Apple TV consistently since I bought it a year ago. My iPhone 4S remote app also won't work with my Apple TV now either.
I can't even use the Apple Remote App, so I've been signing in with the AppleTV Remote. I get error 117 saying my username or password is incorrect even after I just signed in to Netflix.com via my computer. The date and time are correct on my TV and AppleTV.
this was definitely a bug - a rather bad one - and i hope it gets fixed (if it has not already been fixed, that is - i can't confirm one way or the other, since i've worked around the problem and can't easily reproduce it).
I'm having the same problem. Can't access Netflix through Apple TV says password is incorrect error 117. I typed a bunch even changed the password by going directly to Netflix on my computer and then back to ATV. Still can't get in. Did a reset and restore nothings changed.
I have recently purchased the apple tv and sign upto Netflix today. Works fine on my computer, my phone and my iPad. But no the atv just keeps coming up unable to login, I've tried resting, unplugging, changed password, tried both remote and remote app logins but nothing.
I tried that too still comes up unable to sign in. The account name or password you entered does not match an account in our records. Remeber your password is case sensitive. Need help signing in? Visit www.netflix.com/login help. And all that does is resets my password on the account which does exist.
What finally worked for me, via someone's suggestion on this board, was putting a space after the password, and then submitting. For some weird reason, it worked. And I know it worked for others on this board. Try that and let us know.
Unfortunately the space didn't work. Also just tried unplugging router and apple tv then reconnecting but nothing, tho my iPad is now having issues connecting to Netflix but still works on computer fine. Any other ideas? Starting to regret ate purchase
I pulled this chapter together from dozens of sources that were at times somewhat contradictory. Facts on the ground change over time and depend who is telling the story and what audience they're addressing. I tried to create as coherent a narrative as I could. If there are any errors I'd be more than happy to fix them. Keep in mind this article is not a technical deep dive. It's a big picture type article. For example, I don't mention the word microservice even once :-)
Given our discussion in the What is Cloud Computing? chapter, you might expect Netflix to serve video using AWS. Press play in a Netflix application and video stored in S3 would be streamed from S3, over the internet, directly to your device.
Another relevant factoid is Netflix is subscription based. Members pay Netflix monthly and can cancel at any time. When you press play to chill on Netflix, it had better work. Unhappy members unsubscribe.
The client is the user interface on any device used to browse and play Netflix videos. It could be an app on your iPhone, a website on your desktop computer, or even an app on your Smart TV. Netflix controls each and every client for each and every device.
Everything that happens before you hit play happens in the backend, which runs in AWS. That includes things like preparing all new incoming video and handling requests from all apps, websites, TVs, and other devices.
In 2007 Netflix introduced their streaming video-on-demand service that allowed subscribers to stream television series and films via the Netflix website on personal computers, or the Netflix software on a variety of supported platforms, including smartphones and tablets, digital media players, video game consoles, and smart TVs.
Netflix succeeded. Netflix certainly executed well, but they were late to the game, and that helped them. By 2007 the internet was fast enough and cheap enough to support streaming video services. That was never the case before. The addition of fast, low-cost mobile bandwidth and the introduction of powerful mobile devices like smart phones and tablets, has made it easier and cheaper for anyone to stream video at any time from anywhere. Timing is everything.
Building out a datacenter is a lot of work. Ordering equipment takes a long time. Installing and getting all the equipment working takes a long time. And as soon they got everything working they would run out of capacity, and the whole process had to start over again.
The long lead times for equipment forced Netflix to adopt what is known as a vertical scaling strategy. Netflix made big programs that ran on big computers. This approach is called building a monolith. One program did everything.
What Netflix was good at was delivering video to their members. Netflix would rather concentrate on getting better at delivering video rather than getting better at building datacenters. Building datacenters was not a competitive advantage for Netflix, delivering video is.
It took more than eight years for Netflix to complete the process of moving from their own datacenters to AWS. During that period Netflix grew its number of streaming customers eightfold. Netflix now runs on several hundred thousand EC2 instances.
The advantage of having three regions is that any one region can fail, and the other regions will step in handle all the members in the failed region. When a region fails, Netflix calls this evacuating a region.
The header image is meant to intrigue you, to draw you into selecting a video. The idea is the more compelling the header image, the more likely you are to watch a video. And the more videos you watch, the less likely you are to unsubscribe from Netflix.
The first thing Netflix does is spend a lot of time validating the video. It looks for digital artifacts, color changes, or missing frames that may have been caused by previous transcoding attempts or data transmission problems.
A pipeline is simply a series of steps data is put through to make it ready for use, much like an assembly line in a factory. More than 70 different pieces of software have a hand in creating every video.
The idea behind a CDN is simple: put video as close as possible to users by spreading computers throughout the world. When a user wants to watch a video, find the nearest computer with the video on it and stream to the device from there.
In 2007, when Netflix debuted its new streaming service, it had 36 million members in 50 countries, watching more than a billion hours of video each month, streaming multiple terabits of content per second.
At the same time, Netflix was also devoting a lot of effort into all the AWS services we talked about earlier. Netflix calls the services in AWS its control plane. Control plane is a telecommunications term identifying the part of the system that controls everything else. In your body, your brain is the control plane; it controls everything else.
In 2011, Netflix realized at its scale it needed a dedicated CDN solution to maximize network efficiency. Video distribution is a core competency for Netflix and could be a huge competitive advantage.
The number of OCAs on a site depends on how reliable Netflix wants the site to be, the amount of Netflix traffic (bandwidth) that is delivered from that site, and the percentage of traffic a site allows to be streamed.
Within a location, a popular video like House of Cards is copied to many different OCAs. The more popular a video, the more servers it will be copied to. Why? If there was only one copy of a very popular video, streaming the video to members would overwhelm the server. As they say, many hands make light work.
Right now, up to 100% of Netflix content is being served from within ISP networks. This reduces costs by relieving internet congestion for ISPs. At the same time, Netflix members experience a high-quality viewing experience. And network performance improves for everyone.
What may not be immediately obvious is that the OCAs are independent of each other. OCAs act as self-sufficient video-serving archipelagos. Members streaming from one OCA are not affected when other OCAs fail.
How do I sign into netflix on a computer with my Xfinity account? I want to browse and view programs and mark things to view later, but I can't sign directly into Netflix. I found an older post, but the link it references no longer works and just goes back to the Forums Home Page.
That sort of worked, thanks. I didn't exactly find settings with my User Name & Password but I did find what email address was registered under Help. So I was then able to do a password reset with Netflix. using that email address.
if you subscribe through your Xfinity subscription, go to the x1 Netflix app, and go into settings and account. you will find a menu item where you can get a username/password to access on other devices from that menu.
It sounds like the account that you are logging into has been compromised or actually belongs to someone else. Login to that account on a computer and see what devices are linked to that account. You said you have multiple devices, if they are all linked to the same account any channel on one device will appear on all of your devices.
Do you have other Rokus in your home or that you've given to somebody (that you did not factory reset) that someone could have signed into those channels/apps). Because I think your sign in info for some Roku Channels/Apps sync to your Roku account so that when you set up a new Roku with your Roku account, you're automatically signed into those apps/channels.
