I agree totally... 1st apple tv loving it for me and the wife. But parental support for restrictions for my 3 children not very well thought out. Family movie night browsing movies selections don't want see MILF or the blood covered movie title and the other inappropriate titles while looking at new arrivals looking for Disney movies or other G,PG, PG-13. Something should be done ASAP.? I love what apple has been offering for the devices but more control over them in the user hands would be more appreciated then these devices could be in every childs room... IJMS
4. Configure your new profile with whatever name you like, and a different "sign-in" name than your normal account. This is where you can set the profile to only allow certain content ratings. Set them up as you see fit. Click "Save."
5. Go back to your AppleTV. Logout of the current Netflix account, and log back in using the Account Profile sign-in ID you created on the Netflix web site. Yes, I know AppleTV says to put in your email address, but just put in the Account Profile sign-in instead.
It's working for me. I have my AppleTV set to login under a profile with parental controls, not the main account login. I just checked it again just now, and it's working fine. Maybe it's something with your account?
Ok, I should clarify... streaming to a computer or streaming to a Wii will not work unless you are logged into your main profile (Owner Profile). I am not completely sure about AppleTV, however, based on my conversations with Netflix support, they said that any kind of online streaming from Netflix must be done through the main (owner) account due to agreements between Netflix and the media companies providing the content.
apple please create a way to remove everything like search/genre/suggestion/tv shows and leave only instant queue and just for kids. There are so many familes with kids dont want there kids to access anything above pg
netflix start with 500 queue which was great 500 titles 250 kids 250 adult , apple need to add netflix setting to disable the search/ genre and when is off we get instant queue / just for kids two links.
Ok, don't shoot the messenger but I was asked to see if I could unblock the queue management area for Netflix but still block the streaming media part of it... We're using the URL filtering capabilities of the PA 2050 device and I have a policy defined that's based on an Active Directory user group to filter traffic. I'm not sure how I would go about doing this, any thoughs?
Its pretty basic, your going to create a rule that precedes your URL filtering rule. The rule will be from trust to untrust application will be "netflix" and action will be drop.
Has Palo Alto changed the Netflix signature recently? In September we had blocked the application per Phil's suggestion earlier in this thread and people were able to login and manage their queue but couldn't view any movies. This morning, though, I wasn't able to login anymore. Thanks --
@cshep: you would have to review all of the release notes to see what has changed between each version of the content update to see if PAN engineering have updated any particular application signature(s).
If you see the block in either the "traffic" or "threat" logs then that would be due to either an application update or an antivirus update. If you see the block in the URL filtering log then it is your URL filtering profiles that need examination.
I would say looking at the logs should give you an indication of whats going on with the block. I have a handful or preset filters for looking at that kind of thing. I'm running 3.1.4 code with the latest app and threat updates and have just noticed I'm unable to get to the netflix.com queue. I can get to the sites front page however loggin in doesn't happen. When I look at the traffic log is see a deny for netflix based on the app, i don't see anything blocked in the URL log for netflix so it's definately the app. I'd have to look back as well but I'm guessing a app and threat update changed something.
If you require assistance resolving this issue I would suggest posting some screen shots of the traffic, URL filtering and threat logs to this thread so that we can do some detective work and find the root cause of the issue.
You boot up the box, set the network to wireless or Ethernet connectivity. You get a five digit code, head over to netflix.com/activate using a browser on a PC or other device, log into your Netflix account and enter the code. The Roku box gets your queue and the movie/show cover art. There are HDMI and optical connections on top of the standard video outs, but those cables are not included.
I have a Panasonic Blu-ray player that has Netflix on it. I set it up a few months ago and it has worked fine for streaming movies and viewing my Netflix instant queue. But recently I've started getting error messages when trying to access Netflix. "Cannot connect to netflix, please try again."
Occasionally a Netflix client such as a Blu-ray player or TV can get "confused" about its account authorization. When this happens, you may start getting error messages when you attempt to access Netflix on a device that was previously working fine. This can happen on an LG or Sony or Panasonic or Samsung or VIZIO Blu-ray player or web-enabled TV, or on the ROKU streaming box or Apple TV (among others). The message you get can vary but may be one of these:
This procedure is also helpful if you are getting rid of a Blu-ray player or TV that you've previously set up for Netflix and you want to remove your account from the device. It used to be possible to manage devices online in your Netflix account but they've since disabled that feature. Currently if you want to remove a device from your Netflix account online, you have to disable *ALL* of the devices and add them back in one at a time.
But there is a way to break the link to your Netflix account from the actual device itself. To do so, get into the Netflix screen on that device (or the Netflix error screen, as the case may be), then using your device's remote, hit the following buttons:
Go back into Netflix on that device again and you will then need to re-authorize the device with your Netflix account. This may require an activation code and a trip to www.netflix.com/activate to enter that activation code, or it might just entail logging into Netflix from the device using your account e-mail address and password. The procedure for activating a new device for Netflix varies a bit from device to device. But once it has been re-authorized, the error messages should be gone and the device should work properly again.

You can change the order of "My List Queue." Hover your mouse over your profile picture and select "Account." In the "My Profile" section, select "Order in My List." You have two choices, "Netflix Suggests" and "Manual Ordering." Select "Manual Ordering" and click "Save."

It will limit the content that is inappropriate for kids under 12.
Sometimes the Continue Watching feature is helpful to continue a program from where you left off. Sometimes it is not that useful, especially when it gets bogged down with content that you don't like and have no further interest in watching.
To remove content from your Continue Watching list, go back to your profile icon and select "Account." In the My Profile section, select the "Viewing Activity" link. Clicking the X will remove the associated content from the Continue Watching list within 24 hours.
But the best way to copy Netflix queue DVD content is to use professional DVD ripping software like DVDFab DVD Ripper, to rip and convert DVD movie content to digital video and audio formats for seamless playback on multiple portable and mobile devices, even on game consoles, or home theater system.
