1. Auto-Play: I am talking about the automatic "play the show before I even have a minute to look at other options". When I go to a TV show or movie it starts automatically. I don't even have time to push the play button. Why is the play button even there? I don't want it to start automatically. I don't even have time to push the different episode button. There doesn't seem to be a way to control this option.
2. PAUSE BEHAVIOR: Often, I go back and then pause because there is something on the screen I want to get a closer look at, or read. But for some idiotic reason, after a few seconds, Netflix throws up the title of the show and other garbage covering most of the screen. Can't they just leave it paused and clean of that junk.
My Netflix account already DOES NOT have Autoplay Previews checked. Also, they just made another annoying change. When you get into the Netflix channel, you used to have the various rows, "continue watching", "my list", "new", "recommended", etc. Now I get a banner about some show or movie and I have to press DOWN several times (each time this banner changes), before I can finally access those rows.
From the consumer perspective it doesn't change the simple fact that the picture is soft and looks well below the PQ the 1080p format is capable of providing. Verizon has no issue with charging me $200/mo for service, so how about working with content providers to deliver some value to the paying customers?
I rented Jurrasic World On Demand thinking it would be a good action adventure to enjoy on my HT system, the picture and sound were absolutely horrible. Picture was soft, sound was completely compressed and lifeless sounding. I am curious about what the excuse is for poor quality On Demand programming.
Verizon is really blowing it with On Demand. $5.50 is not bad for the convienience of clicking a couple of buttons to sit and watch a movie in the comfort of your living room, unless you care at all about picture and sound. I'd prefer to wait the extra months for Netflix or go down the road to the Red Box for the Blu Ray Disc.
do you offer access to Netflix in your listing? If so do you use your own account? Pay for another account? Make them sign in with THEIR account? I have a Netflix account myself and a ROKU I can hook up -- I just today got my first inquiry about Netflix in the unit. I'm wondering how others do it.
I have an additional device account, one for guests. If a guest doesn't have their own account, they can request me to set up access to ours as a guest viewer. Although after 2 years and many bookings, I have had only 2 requests for me to set them up. Most have their own account these days.
We have a guest account for Netflix and Hulu and an old iPhone with nothing else on it signed in for guests to cast to the tv, via google chrome-cast. Old fashioned but does the job at low cost. (We have no tv service.)
Hi Emilia, I'll just be starting to offer Netflix for my guest this coming month and thinking of the same set-up as yours (guest will have access to my account, but with a different user profile). I'd like to ask if you had any instances where your guests have messed with the other profiles on your Netflix account. If yes, what did you do? Or if not, what have you done to prevent this.
@Jose-Feliciano0, just this week I noticed the Grinch was watched on my specific Netflix profile and there were two young children staying in one of my Airbnbs at that time. It doesn't bother me and doesn't happen often. No one has ever messed with my settings or anything like that. I would say it is more frustrating when they log out of my account and into their own. I have to check every time I am turning over the space for a new guest that Netflix is correctly logged into the right account. I would never give my password to a guest so if they get logged out it would require me going over to the apartment to log them back in (luckily, no one has asked me to do that.)
Hi Jose, So I'm a little behind on this thread & I've been looking into all this stuff with Netflix & if you offer up your own account could the guest potentially mess with the other accounts on it. Anyway, their is a way you can lock your other profiles so they would only have access to the one you want them to have..
I have a "guest profile" for Netflix/Hulu/Amazon but it is still my account. The account requires a password to be modified in any way, including ordering movies that are not included in the subscription so there's no way guests could change or charge anything.
The only issue I had once was someone signed in on their own account, then messaged me claiming that someone was watching stuff on their account after they checked out. We didn't have any guests during the time they claimed this was happening and we had logged them out anyways, so I think they had left their account logged in elsewhere.
@Kelly1126 I have the Netflix account that allows for streaming on 4 devices at once. I just leave the account signed in. Same with Amazon: I'm actually not sure how many people can log in at once, but there has never been a conflict, maybe because Amazon Prime is pretty poor in Canada and there isn't much to watch. Some people choose to use their own account, but I do provide mine also so they can use it if they want.
We have Smart TVs and/or Roku's so that guests can access their own accounts. We remind them to sign out when they leave. We've also been using YouTubeTV instead of cable TV in some properties. So far, so good. The savings are great. Good luck with whatever you decide!
You may have noticed that it's possible to speed up Netflix playback, similar to how you can on services like YouTube. However, if you're thinking about fast-forwarding through your Netflix binge, here's why you should think twice.
This happens with a pitch adjustment, so it doesn't sound like everyone's breathing helium, but everything moves more quickly. As I write this, the fastest speed Netflix allows is 1.5 times normal, which should save you 20 minutes out of every hour.
That's a lot of time saved if you're on YouTube and trying to learn something efficiently. However, if you're trying to enjoy a show or a movie, and aren't on a publication deadline to write a recap for some blog somewhere, it's not the best idea. If you're the pragmatic sort, you might be wondering what the actual problem is here, and I'm glad you asked!
Actually, in some ways, playing your shows and movies back at higher speeds makes it look like motion smoothing is on. Even worse, the movement of characters and the physics of objects all look wrong. It's cheesy and a little disconcerting. So, for the same reasons you shouldn't watch a movie with smooth motion switched on, you shouldn't watch it at a faster speed than intended.
Modern streaming is a massive convenience, but it's also the source of anxiety for some of us. There are simply too many shows and movies coming out, and it's understandable that you want to be part of that pop culture conversation. People also have a tendency to watch (or even listen) to services like Netflix while doing other things, based on the myth that the human brain can multitask.
There's a chance that when you read the title of this piece, you thought to yourself "you can speed up Netflix?" So for completeness' sake, if you have a good reason to want faster playback, or perhaps more likely slightly slower playback, here's how to do it.
First, this only works on the Netflix web player, and iOS and Android apps. So if you want to do this on your Apple TV, Android box, or using a Smart TV app, I'm afraid you're out of luck. One potential workaround is to use your smart TV's web browser, which might work depending on how advanced it is. Before you say it, I also thought it might work while casting from my phone, but the function doesn't seem to work that way. At least it didn't for me.
With that out of the way, all you have to do while something is playing is pause the video. You'll see a set of controls at the bottom of the screen. Select this icon that looks like a speedometer. Also, it says "speed" on it too, which is another strong clue.
You know what? I take back what I said about never watching a movie at 1.5x. If you want to watch The Irishman in two hours and twenty minutes instead of three-and-a-half hours, be my guest. That's the one time it makes complete sense.
Are you wondering, "Why can't I play Netflix on my projector?" It can be frustrating when your projector doesn't cooperate with your streaming plans. In this article, we'll delve into common reasons why you might encounter this issue and provide practical troubleshooting tips and fixes to get your Netflix streaming on your projector back on track. Let's unravel the mysteries behind this problem and find solutions to enhance your viewing experience.
If you're currently facing the issue of "you can't play Netflix on your projector," there's no need to worry. We've got solutions to get you back to enjoying your favorite Netflix shows and movies on the big screen. In this section, we'll explore common problems and provide guidance on how to watch netflix on projector seamlessly.
Netflix uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) technology to prevent unauthorized copying of digital audio and video content. If your projector or HDMI cable does not support HDCP, it will not be able to stream Netflix. You may encounter an error message regarding HDCP compatibility, or you might see a blank screen when you attempt to stream Netflix content.
If you're encountering the issue of why isn't Netflix working on your projector, it may be due to unsupported app or software problems. This is particularly common with older projectors that may not have the capability to support the Netflix app, or when the streaming device connected to the projector is running on outdated software. Symptoms include the Netflix app being unavailable, failing to open, or crashing unexpectedly.
If you're wondering "why can't I connect to Netflix," especially when trying to stream via a projector, it could be due to connectivity problems. A weak or unstable internet connection is often the culprit behind streaming disruptions. Symptoms of such connectivity issues include constant buffering, frequent loading interruptions, or an error message indicating a connection problem.
