Trying to get Netflix app to work on daughters ipad while using restrictions. However, when websites are limited to defined URL Netflix app dosen't work. Does anyone know what urls need to be defined to allow the netflix app to function with web restrictions switched on. Thanks !
I Found another posting via Google and I followed the steps and it worked. I am very thankful it did as I didn't want to disable tue website restrictions, I prefer them on so this was the answer to fix the netflix issue and allow the website restrictions to still be enabled:
I have the same issue. Tried all kinds of variations of the netflix urls (movies.netflix.com, signup.netflix.com, , etc....) couldn't get it working right... Did a mess of google searching and this thread is the only one I could find that addressed my exact issue. Called netflix and Apple. Apple was able to get it working (sort of, or temporarily....) They had me uninstall the app, then go under Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings (make sure you know your network password for your wi-fi router before you do this, because you will need to reconnect to wi-fi because the password will get wiped out of the system memory) Supposedly, this will not remove any data, just reset to factory settings. After that was done, they had me shut down the iPad, then restart the iPad. Then reconnect to wi-fi and re-set all of the Restrictions settings I had set up originally. I left in five variations of the netflix urls because when I tried these steps with just one url it wouldn't work. I tried some testing, but couldn't figure which ones were needed so I left all five in the allowed websites section under restrictions. (movies.netflix.com, signup.netflix.com, , , ). Then I re-installed the netflix app and viola! it worked! I did a shutdown and restart of the iPad while I had the apple technician on the phone to make sure the app would still work after a restart and it did! Awesome.... but, after playing with the iPad some, the app would not work again! UGGGGGGGHHHHHH! I don't think I did anything specific to cause it to stop working and repeated the procedure at least 4 times with the same result, so I'm not sure what the problem is and I don't have days to spen on this.... So, I then did a bunch more testing and here's something that seems to work all the time, although it's a bit of a pain in the arse... When the netflix app is not working, go under Settings -> General -> Restrictions -> Websites and set the "Allowed Websites" to All Websites. Then close out of settings and launch the netflix app. (give it a couple of minutes to get past the red screen with spinning wheel if it doesn't open right away). Now, once the netflix app has been launched, go back and set the "Allowed Websites" back to Specific Websites Only and the netflix app will work at least until the next reboot of the iPad... The only problem with this is that you will lose your list of Specific Websites everytime you do this... For me it's not a huge problem, because my son is only 7 and doesn't really "Surf" the web, so I don't really have to add websites all the time. Hope I helped some Stecun... Hopefully netflix and apple will take steps to make this work better in a future update.... If anyone out there has a more permanent solution, it would be greatly appreciated! Where's all the computer science moms and dads at out there? ?
I was able to find 18 URLs that the web version of netflix uses and I added them, but it didn't help. I talked to Netflix support and they said they passed it on to their research team. I tried to get a work around or the list of URLs, but they didn't give them up.
Adding my complaint to the original. I'm having the same issue. Temp work-around (you don't have to disable the Restrictions), just change the website restrictions from 'Specific Websites Only' to 'All Websites', go launch Netflix, then change restrictions BACK to 'Specific Websites Only'. :/ Pain in the rear, but it will work until... maybe the next day. We really need to know what it is netflix is throwing at us to allow us to add a URL that will work every time. Ugh.
I also noticed, if you turn off website restrictions and launch Netflix, that the restrictions of movie and TV show ratings in the settings app have no affect on what you can see in Netflix. Disappointing.
@sagederek1111 @VirginMediaIE are you having any issues with internet speed in Dublin 8? I can't load any streaming app on my telly like Netflix or NOW TV and last night the quality of the picture on Netflix was poor and it kept pausing to load
@ThrylokyaB @JioCinema Whats wrong with jio cinema? I was waiting to watch olympics , and today @JioCinema is not working or responding to watch olympics its very slow and laggy, our internet is really fast every other platform Youtube, netflix, hotstar are running well except @JioCinema
@hannahigwe23 9)second and 1.1 terabits per second, respectively. The following month, domain name system service provider Dyn's network was targeted, making a number of websites, including Amazon, Netflix, Twitter and The New York Times, unavailable for hours. The attacks infiltrated the
@TomlinJeanne @Noonanovazara @mandijel @silverrich39 You are the one doing emotive crap claiming for example that anyone with problems paying heating bills is blowing their money on Lattes and Netflix.
@GonzalesMi8051 Just had a major power outage at home but thankfully the squad from the power company came through and got it fixed in no time. All is good again, can't wait to get back to my gaming sesh and catch up on some Netflix. Life's good when you've got a solid support system, right?
@1876Lulu @nathansldennis @afneil My very elderly parents do not have Netflix, mobile phones, eat avocado on toast, smoke, drink, have a car, drink latte's from Starbucks or anywhere else and have worked all their life's and raised 3 children all without claiming benefits. Your answer is absurd
@marc_downing @netflix It really sucks that you changed the windows app to where you can no longer download movies to watch offline. I work in remote areas a lot with no internet service, and it was great to be able to download titles to my laptop to watch offline. Not anymore. Thanks a lot ?
@swatson2022 @Theeban_07 @Yogace_Dfan No 152 is final gross. You can check any site.. 220 netflix is only 130 and now the 130 deal is also dropped due to bad response. OTT now looks for hit flop also. Same with for all movies including Rajni. And who said 220? Is it only OTT or digital+ satellite?
@virginmedia @FerryColum Hi Colum, sorry to hear you're having trouble with the Netflix app. Are you able to navigate between profiles at all on that screen or is it totally stuck? Are you having issues with any other apps on there?
@JensHonack @WiseMenMastery Ditch the cheap dopamine hits.News and politics? Overrated distractions.Alcohol and Netflix? Time thieves.College and salary? Not always the golden ticket.Cut these out, and you'll watch 99% of your problems vanish.
@highpriestjrry Hail Satan 666 Netflix is not loaded on my phone. Slow Internet connection. Like I said before the liber resh is a religious ritual that has protection under freedom of religion.
@Josiah_Caswell @WyattzWorId I switched a few weeks ago before going on a trip right now. My niece, who has Verizon, is struggling with service issues. Meanwhile, mine has been great. We also got Netflix and Apple TV to switch lol
@Agent16258 @ImYourWildBoi Agreed the pacing is also an issue as with adaptations of shows in Netflix. I do appreciate the integration of legends lore and having force abilities in live action like force repulse. I appreciated the lightsaber choreography.
@LeeCros77969139 @SkyHelpTeam anyone else having issues loading netflix through sky, all my other apps load fine and I've tried doing everything on the automated service but no joy, it's just spinning?
@ezrasf @WomanMiami @bulmasan It is performative. They publicly say "cancel Netflix" hoping someone else does. They knew Disney's beef with DeSantis and dropped thousands to Disney World anyway.
@ZoveriaTTV @GuardiaanAngel Yes but my Fortnite updates, game updates and downloads in general like Netflix and streaming services will improve significantly with faster internet. It was taking 4-5 hours to download a 10GB update lol
@ComodePoopSmith @chaz934 @NostalgiaFolder I remember getting disconnected from xbox live a million times back then before I upgraded to the 360 slim with built in wifi. Those old wifi antennas were awful and anytime my sister turned on Netflix, I would disconnect in a middle of a match
