Hopefully those of you out there can help find a solution to this. I have two Roku stick, one of which functions without issue (Streaming Stick 4k), but unfortunately I'm having problems with the Roku Express.
My Roku Express connects to Netflix without issue, however, it will connect to any other streaming service reliably. I ended up performing a reset of the router and the Roku Express stick, after which it connected to Prime once but since its last use it is now failing to connect. Prime reports error code 0.28 and other services simply fail to initialise/connect.
I've attempted a factory reset of the Roku Express but this hasn't made any noticeable difference. I have various other devices connected to the router including the other Roku stick, PC, mobile phone etc.
We appreciate your report about this playback issue you're experiencing, and we'd like to know more about it. Could you tell us if you've been able to use this before without seeing these issues happening? How far is this device from your router? We would also suggest connecting your device to an alternative network, like a mobile hotspot, to see if that makes a difference.
The Roku box is in the room adjacent to the router. I tested the alternate wifi connection point available and this made no difference and I also tested using the suggested mobile phone hotspot but again, no difference.
If it's of any relevance, when the Roku box starts up it doesn't have the same advertisements/banners I see on the other box within the house prior to obtaining a connection to the network. I've also noticed that the only time the banners populate are on the three occasions I've successfully connected to services other than Netflix.
I have managed to perform firmware updates to both the Roku Express box and my router, however, this issue still persists. The only way I have found as a work around is to perform a Network Connection Reset whenever I wish to use one of the affected services.
@RokuEuniceL - I ensure to keep my devices up to date, however, as per your instruction I checked for updates and I am running the latest version. I have also swapped over my device so that it is powered via a wall socket (first time I've heard of this advice for your devices) and it has made no difference.
When you can kick back and watch a movie, the last thing you want to worry about is Netflix not working. However, there are plenty of reasons why Netflix won't load, with common culprits ranging from Netflix server issues to internet connection problems.
Before discussing any potential causes for the Netflix app not working, whether that's because it doesn't load or crashes randomly, we have to discuss one essential first step you should take: checking whether Netflix has any running issues. If Netflix is down, there's nothing you can do to fix the problem.
Other websites that can help you figure out if others are having Netflix issues in your area include Downdetector and IsItDownRightNow. If everything checks out and there's nothing wrong with Netflix, the technical problem is likely on your end.
It has happened to all of us: one of your favorite apps suddenly starts crashing every time you try to use it. Now you're wondering why Netflix keeps kicking you out. After the initial panic has worn off, you can take a few steps to rectify the problem, but it depends on your device.
Smartphone users should start by force-stopping the Netflix app. If it still doesn't work, try turning your phone off and on again. And if it still doesn't work, you will need to delete the app and reinstall it from the app store. The same methodology applies if you're using a set-top streaming box.
If you're using Netflix on your smart TV, you might be unable to delete the app. Instead, try signing out of Netflix on your Smart TV, clear the cache, and sign in again. Or, if you're using the Netflix app on Windows, try disabling your antivirus software. Many security suites interfere with the service. If you are still getting kicked off of Netflix, keep reading for other troubleshooting processes to try.
Netflix error code 12001 is caused by outdated data on your device. You need to refresh the data to get the Netflix app working again. But how do you refresh the data? Well, there are a few ways to do it.
First, try turning your device off and then back on again. Yes, the magic trick that gets devices and software working. Ensure your device is turned off completely, then turn it back on again and try Netflix.
In 2016, Netflix finally started offering users a way to download content to watch offline. This means you can load up on TV shows and movies before a long journey or if you're traveling to an area with poor internet coverage. Unfortunately, this feature doesn't always work flawlessly. If you're struggling to download content, there are a few steps you can take.
Secondly, make sure you're running at least Android 4.4.2 or iOS 8, have the most up-to-date version of the Netflix app, and have enough storage on your phone. You'll also need the latest software versions for your Windows 10 or Windows 11 computer, Amazon Fire tablet, or Chromebook.
You can take some simple troubleshooting steps to try and fix the problem. For example, try restarting the app, restarting your device, and restarting your home network. Try checking your internet connection with a web page or other application to determine if it is a connection issue on your streaming device.
Make sure you close any existing Netflix sessions by going to the app switcher, swiping up on the Netflix app, and then relaunching Netflix. You will need to re-enter your login credentials. If this doesn't work, you should also try reinstalling the Netflix app.
Netflix offers tiered price plans, and the number of people who can watch Netflix simultaneously depends on which one you choose. The top plan is limited to four people, but you can add up to two extra members who don't live with you.
If you see a message that reads, "Your Netflix account is in use on another device. Please stop playing on other devices to continue" or "Too many people are using your account right now," this is your problem.
You can kick off others using your Netflix account by terminating all existing sessions by going to Account > Settings > Sign out of all devices. This can take up to ten minutes to process.
For a less drastic solution, you can see who is using your Netflix account by going to Account > Settings > Recent device streaming activity to see a list of current sessions. The list will help you identify which users are online. You might be able to persuade one of them to log off.
The obvious solution here is to reset your password. In the future, use a password manager to prevent you from incorrectly entering passwords. Password managers are easy to organize, help you keep track of your passwords, and, importantly, use strong and unique passwords for each service.
However, it's worth checking your email inbox before you hit the reset button. Something more sinister might be at play. The Netflix login credentials of unsuspecting users trade hands for insignificant amounts of money on the dark web. They're often bought by people who cannot create a Netflix account in their own country.
If Netflix sees suspicious login behavior, it will block your account and email you advising you to create a new password. Remember, if your Netflix account has been hacked, you will need to change your password on any other app or service for which you've used the same credentials.
What can you do if Netflix won't load? This issue can arise for multiple reasons, including a loss of interest connection. Fortunately, the troubleshooting tips are the same regardless of the root cause. If you're faced with a spinning red circle stuck on a certain percentage, these are the tips to try:
If Netflix crashes on Roku or another smart TV, you're not alone. The Netflix app built into some smart TVs is notorious for being less reliable than the desktop, mobile, and set-top box versions. Most of the time, this is due to the shortcomings of the TV's internal hardware rather than an issue with Netflix itself.
One of the most common Netflix errors is the "Unexpected Error." It feels like Netflix is making an "oops" face and shrugs, leaving you to deal with the problem. The message suggests you reload the page and try again.
If you get this error on your TV, we suggest you shut down the app and restart Netflix. If it happens on your phone, force close the app and restart it. Should this happen in your browser, hit the refresh button. If that fails, clear the cookies, cache, and history in Chrome or any browser you use.
If Netflix is still not working, you can try restarting your router by unplugging it, waiting a minute, and plugging it back in again. Once the internet connection is reestablished, try Netflix again and see if the problem is gone. You can even take things a step further by verifying the DNS settings on your device.
Hello Fraga, we understand that this is a concern but that does not prevent to use the projector itself. The other solution would be to connect a Dongle like Amazon Fire Stick or Roku or Google, or even a laptop.
In any case, we are on it!
Hello @Philips_Support_N ,
Thank you for your prompt response.
I just tried now a 2nd reset on the projector, but I still cannot login to Netflix.
Is there anything else I can try to fix this issue?
Hi There - I just set up a AC1900 Wireless MU-MIMO Gigabit Router Archer A9 (which for some reason isnt an option from the model list up there) and it is lovely - my phone, tablet, computer, google home devices are all working great. However, netflix on my TCL smart TV won't work. The TV itself is connected and other channels (such as amazon prime) work. Netflix keeps giving me error codes tvq-st-103 and tvq-st-131, saying it can't connect to the network. I can watch netflix on my other devices. I've tried the obvious things like restarting the network by unplugging everything and then plugging back in one at a time, resetting the netflix login, returning the TV to factory settings... It's gotta be something with the router but I can't figure out what. Anyone here have any smart ideas?
