New to this, first search (Dec 10, 2019 if it helps) I audio search for "John Wick 2" and my only option is "Rent on Google Play for $5" or "Follow this movie on Roku" even though it is free to watch on Amazon Prime which I have installed and activated.
- Channels decide whether or not to include their content in Roku global search results. Rok,u does not limit this. If a channel chooses not to include their content in Search, they will not appear as an option to watch. You would need to contact the specific channel provider directly to inquire further, and share any feedback.
- There may be a technical issue with the channel's content information that is provided to Roku. We would recommend contacting the channel provider to report the issue so they can investigate. We can also help pass along feedback to the channel provider if you provide specific examples, but in this case, they may need to resolve an issue on their end.
- If you are using a Roku device that is linked to a Roku account created in a different region, such as using a device on a Canadian Roku account inside the US, some services may be affected or unexpected behavior can occur. In this case, you'd need to create a new Roku account in the region in which you are located, factory reset your device, then link it to the new account. This may resolve channel, content or search issues that you may encounter in this scenario.
- There may be an actual issue with Roku Search results on your device. If you've already spoken to the channel provider, and aren't able to resolve the issue after they've investigated, please provide specific details about the content that you do not see appearing in Search, and we can confer with the team to see if there is an issue that needs to be addressed.
When I search for a movie from the Roku Search screen, the results seem to never be accurate. Particularly, it is not showing results that include "channels" that I am PAYING for (disney+, netflix, hulu etc..)
I am starting to wonder if Roku is not the impartial player in the game they say they are. Or if this is a technical problem is there any solution?
Any advice here? It is very frustrating and basically makes search useless.
My Roku Premier Ultra HD is no longer showing results for Netflix when I search for particular actors or directors, it only shows Netflex is I search for a movie or TV show by title. This started about 10 days ago. I had a chat with Netflix and they said it's not something from their end since the search within the Netflix app is working. For example, if I search the Netflix app for "Brad Pitt" movies six titles appear, one of them being a Netflix original movie. If I search for "Brad Pitt" movies on Roku, none of those six titles available on Netflix are shown in the search result. But, if I search using the name of the movie the titles that are available on Netflix appear in the search. If I search in Roku for movies directed by Quentin Tarantino it doesn't show any of them as being available on Netflix. If I search by the name of the movie Roku will include the titles that are available on Netflix. I hope I have provided enough details so that the Roku team can take a look at this issue.
Roku's incomplete search results are worthless! They need to be comprehensive. If I used only Roku search, instead of JustWatch, I could end up paying for a movie that I get for free with one of my subscriptions!
I understand the replies to users pertaining to searches for other channels, but a search on a show that actually appears on Roku's Live Channel returning as "*Not on Roku yet" has got to be a bug. I accidentally found this simply browsing, after I'd already decided to buy the DVD box set of this show. I wouldn't've bothered to spend that money if the search had properly returned the truth.
A feature like this is either comprehensive or it's useless. Unfortunately, this one is useless. Roku should either fix it or remove it. Having a broken feature like this just causes a loss of faith in Roku as a company. It gives the impression that they're not serious about their products and features. Personally, I've moved on to reelgood.
My search results using the Google search engine are being rendered. For example, the information provided by Google search like basic biodata regarding the topic, which usually appears on the right side of our window, disappears after a few seconds.
If you have purchased a VPN to watch Netflix and you are seeing the dreaded Netflix proxy error message, it can be immensely frustrating. Thankfully, there are things that you can do if Netflix doesn't work with your VPN. In this guide, we look at why Netflix blocks VPNs and give you 10 tried and tested tips so you can beat the Netflix VPN block.
Before we start, it's important to make sure your chosen VPN is compatible with Netflix. If this isn't the case, you may want to consider subscribing to one of our recommended Netflix VPNs, or checking out our best VPNs for Netflix guide for some alternatives.
Netflix blocks hundreds, if not thousands, of IP addresses that belong to VPNs. For this reason, very few VPNs actually work with Netflix. Even the VPNs that do work with Netflix only actually unblock Netflix on a few servers and in many cases only to specific Netflix regions (usually the US, UK, Canada, and Japan).
Netflix purchases lists of known IP ranges that belong to VPNs and it blocks those IP addresses. This means that even connecting to a VPN server in your own country may result in an inability to connect to Netflix. If this is the case, disconnect the VPN and try again!
Netflix can also monitor each IP address to see how many individual devices are connected. If an unusual number of people all connect to Netflix from the same VPN server, then Netflix may suspect that server of being a VPN and may block that IP address.
If the local network admin has blocked Netflix and other streaming services, you may be get a netflix network error unless you use a VPN. In some cases, the network admin may also block all VPN traffic using deep packet inspection. For this reason, you may need to enable VPN cloaking (also known as obfuscation or stealth). Check out our guide to accessing Netflix at school & on restricted networks for more information.
Your VPN app is more than a pretty face. It manages the VPN connection behind the scenes and a provider may make changes that require an update. Keeping your software up to date is good practice and can help with ironing out issues.
A VPN works with Netflix because it is able to mask your true IP address and replaces it with one that belongs to the VPN provider. However, IP addresses and other information can sometimes leak. Any mismatch will result in VPN ban by Netflix and you will get the dreaded proxy error.
Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) is a collection of technologies that allow web browsers to communicate with each other directly without the need for an intermediate server. This can improve the performance of web apps like video chat, file transfer, and live streaming.
In Firefox, it is very easy to disable WebRTC altogether. In Chrome, plugging a WebRTC leak is as easy as installing an extension called Easy WebRTC Block. Using that extension will stop Chrome from leaking location data to Netflix via the WebRTC leak.
Another possible problem is that your browser is leaking geo-location data to Netflix. If, for example, your VPN is telling Netflix that you are in Los Angeles - but Chrome is telling Netflix that you are in Dubai - this could cause Netflix to show you the proxy error message.
If Netflix works in a private browser, you should clean your browser cache and delete cookies. Then close your browser, reopen and try again. For more information check out our guide on clearing your browser cookies.
Dedicated VPN IPs can actually work in one of two ways. The most common description of a dedicated IP is an IP address that is reserved for use by one customer only. This kind of VPN IP address is usually purchased as an extra or "add-on".
However, one VPN that provides access to Netflix (PrivateVPN) actually provides dynamic, dedicated IPs every time their subscribers connect to a server using the default encryption option (OpenVPN TUN+UDP+1194). This is a fantastic workaround, that explains how PrivateVPN is often able to stay ahead of Netflix's blocks - a testament to their commitment, and the value for money of the service!
