I can access my Netflix account via my computer and can stream to my Xbox and other laptops. I've been on the phone three different times with Netflix tech support and they're telling me it's currently a "known issue" with iPads - but there's no ETA and and I'm not seeing any other reports of this on other forums.
My iphone will not work on Netflix through WIFI but will work on Cellular Data and iCloud only works through Cellular Data... I am thinking it a particular problem with the Internet network iam using (in this case it is DEKAL WIRELESS in Jamaica).
Oops! update, i purposely type in wrong password to see if it would give me another connection error message, but it gave me wrong password message. When I eventually typed in correct password, it finally let me in with no connect error message. **** technology! Either its a temporary issue, or a gremlin in the works.
I think I've got this one. I noticed the same problem on my iPad 3. It was also happening on my android phone which is the brand new S4 (sorry apple). Anyway - My MacBook Pro streems fine so I shut the wifi off on my phone and used the 4G network and Netflix came through fine on my phone. THAT'S IT! It was a network connectivity issue, the app works fine and the computer works fine the only thing left is how they communicate. The odd thing was that I could get any other website on my ipad or my phone using wifi but not neflix. What I ended up doing was going to the wifi settings on my ipad, clicked the little arrow that points to the right (next to the network I was connected to) a window popped up with a button that read, "renew lease" (which renews your devices connection to the router) and presto chango everything was cool... hopefully it works for my phone too becasue I pay for data on the 4g network ?
Just fixed the issue on my mom's iPad that only supports the 5.1.1 version. What you need to do is go to SETTINGS>GENERAL>RESET>RESET NETWORK SETTINGS. It will restart your iPad/iPhone/iPod and you need to log on to your wi-fi again and voila ! You can sign back into your netflix account (input the username And password). This will not change anything else on your device !!!
I know that this is 2015 now so hopefully you have resolved your problem! But I came across your question because the Netflix app was not working on my daughter's brand new iPad Mini 2. All I did was uncheck "VPN" and turn off Bluetooth. Everything worked fine! Hope this helps someone!
After trying everything else, this splatoon worked a treat for me. I think something must have happened to the connection when I had unplugged my router while moving furniture And it somehow upset the wifi connection with Netflix on the iPad (all other apps and connection worked fine) simple network reset was all that was needed.
I hate to post on such an old thread but I had the same behavior today after changing my Netflix password. I use a password manager which generates 16 character passwords for me using letters, numbers, and special characters. This generated password happened to have a double quote " in it.
The changed password worked on 2 Xboxes, 2 PC's, a Note 4, and Kindle Fire HDX. However, both iPad Air 2's in my house stopped working immediately. I tried everything I could find including an IP release/renew, resetting to factory network settings, rebooting the router/modem, reinstalling the app, rebooting the tablets, etc.
All along my wife is saying "maybe it doesn't like those special characters" to which I replied something along the lines of "that's stupid I'm a software developer and there's no way it's that simple, it would be bulls**t if that's what it was..."
Ipad on AP11 FW 1.4.1 is unable to stream video on netflix and IMDB
On the netflix APP, I get an error, Network Error, we could not play this video due to a network error. Pls try again later.
If I tunnel VPN thru the wifi connection, the same IPAD is able to successful stream video on netflix and IMDB.
All other android and windows PC is able to access netflix and IMDB normally.
I have already disabled the app control feature totally. But the traffic block still occurs. (Change to application activity summary)
@aberchin This is not expected behavior I have tested with an AP12 with an iPad running 13.3 and I tested Netflix and unlimited and limited bandwidth with 1MB and it still ran. Please reach out to support to assist in troubleshooting.

If you use Airplay or Screen Mirroring
Airplay and Screen Mirroring are no longer supported by Netflix.
To use your iPhone or iPad to watch Netflix on a TV, use a supported connection.
Also it has to be an 'ad free; type of account:
True, but in this case legal won that battle. Plus it's easier. We use Swank for licensing the physical media playback anyways so we just tacked on the streaming service and we have our butts covered.
@ger Sorry if I am missing something here but you would assign license / push out the managed app via MDM / Jamf to the apple tv device, it is the same as the ipadOS app.
Instead of airplay you are now playing the content directly via the Netflix app installed on the Apple TV.
As unhelpful as it sounds, anyone that has a netflix account and wants to display content, will need to log into the Apple TV app then navigate the interface to play.
Airplay (I imagine) has less ways of ramming adverts down your throat so the main streaming apps cut off support as opposed streaming content directly in app.
Ok great. Yes either, just depends if they still have the remote but sign-in on screen.
* Yes we do, either by managed iPad or unmanaged iOS device.
* Yes it sure is, send out a profile to your Apple TV's and allow list either;
- iOS devices that are allowed to use Apple TV Remote app with this ATV
- Apple TV's that are allowed to be controlled with iOS / Apple TV Remote app
You can browse individual managed devices to select and it will populate: name and mac address. Otherwise, set to all allowed.
I have to use JAMF School, and it seems to be different to your PRO version.
In ATV Profile under tvOS payload / Apple TV Remote / I may allow all devices with Apple TV Remote App to control ATVs. Or I may enter the MAC-Address of allowed devices.
As I do not want students to use the Netflix App and as I do not want them to control the ATVs with their iPad, I did not select the ALL devices option.
For testing purpose I entered the MAC of my iPhone, WLAN and Bluetooth. ( do I have to enter it with or without : , like AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF or like AABBCCDDEEFF )
But I could not connect to the ATV.
I do not have your "Controlled Apple TV Devices" option, but I may assign a device group containing the ATVs to the profile.
Unfortunately my JAMF School WebUserInterface is in german and I can not find any setting to switch to english, Windows and Browser are set to english. My account information is even shown in english. :-(
Strange about not seeing the settings, maybe just confirm there isn't any filtering toggled on when creating the profile as those two settings are meant for different models and will disappear if filtered with the other device. Good luck!

I have a Sharp Roku TV and it keeps dropping whatever I'm watching and switching to the Netflix login screen every 5 minutes or so. I'll be watching a movie on Amazon Prime or HBO and the screen will just go black, and switch over to Netflix. I went to the main menu and checked for the most recent software update, and it's up-to-date, so I'm not sure how else I can fix this. Please help. Thanks!
