I've suddenly encountered an issue in the last 24 hours where most of my Netflix library - including pretty much all of the shows I've been watching lately - disappear when I'm connected to the internet through my Google router. It doesn't matter what device I'm using; phone, PC/laptop, Smart TV, it's the same issue on everything. If I disconnect from the wifi and use cellular data on my phone, the shows magically re-appear. As soon as I reconnect to the wifi they're gone again. I went to someone else's house last night and signed into my Netflix account on their wifi and the shows were all there again. Here's the weirdest part: if I unplug my Google router and plug in an old DLink router that I had lying around, suddenly the shows come back again. The fact that I don't have the same issue with my other router leads me to believe it's an issue with the Google router and not something to do with my ISP.

I've been using this Google router with two wifi points since April of 2020 and never had an issue like this before. I'm running version 2.47 of the Google Home app on an iPhone 12 Pro Max, which is running iOS 15.1.1

It's been a while since we saw some movement on this thread. I wanted to jump in and see if you still needed some help, LeftieJamKeenly or to see if you were able to get this sorted out. If you're still struggling here, please let me know and I'll be happy to jump in and help.

Hi, everyone.
Just one quick final check in here since activity has slowed down. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need help, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let me know.
Thanks.

Statista R identifies and awards industry leaders, top providers, and exceptional brands through exclusive rankings and top lists in collaboration with renowned media brands worldwide. For more details, visit our website.

Industry data revealed that Slovakia had the most extensive Netflix media library worldwide as of February 2024, with over 8,000 titles available on the platform. Interestingly, the top 10 ranking was spearheaded by European countries.

In February 2024, Liechtenstein and Switzerland were the countries with the most expensive Netflix subscription rates. Viewers had to pay around 21.19 U.S. dollars per month for a standard subscription. Subscribers in these countries could choose from between around 6,500 and 6,900 titles. On the other end of the spectrum, Pakistan, Egypt, and Nigeria are some of the countries with the cheapest Netflix subscription costs at around 2.90 to 4.65 U.S. dollars per month.

While viewing preferences can differ across countries and regions, some titles have proven particularly popular with international audiences. As of mid-2024, "Red Notice" and "Don't Look Up" were the most popular English-language movies on Netflix, with over 230 million views in its first 91 days available on the platform. Meanwhile, "Troll" ranks first among the top non-English language Netflix movies of all time. The monster film has amassed 103 million views on Netflix, making it the most successful Norwegian-language film on the platform to date.

Direct-to-consumer platforms like Netflix, Apple+, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and HBO Max do not allow institutional licensing for libraries. In an effort to meet national demand for educational access to original content, Netflix has created an Educational Documentaries Channel on YouTube.com. Additionally, this guide from the University of Michigan-Flint provides information on the licensing terms for several popular streaming providers: -lg-box-21086642.

The library is not able to purchase licenses for original films/shows from these commercial streaming platforms, and most do not release streaming content on physical formats such as DVD. Librarians are available to help find similar titles through other available film databases.

According to "Hilda's World: A guide to Trolberg, the wilderness, and beyond", the library is one of the oldest buildings in Trolberg, but accounts of when, why and how it was build are scarce. There are even rumors that the building spontaneously sprang up one day, as if conjured by magic. Considering the library is connected to Witches Tower and is run by a witch, this story may actually be true.

On the second floor is a hidden entrance behind a bookcase, that leads to a secret room filled with spell books. Hilda discovered this room in "Chapter 8: The Tide Mice". In "Chapter 3: The Witch", this secret room turned out to be the first in a series of secret rooms and passages that eventually lead to Witches Tower.

The library is also briefly seen in the graphic novel "Hilda and the Black Hound", but it looks notably different there than in the animated series. In "Hilda and the Stone Forest", one panel shows Hilda and Frida in the library, summoning a spirit from a book. This implies the Library in the graphic novels also has the secret room with magic books.

the netflix plugin (GitHub - asciidisco/plugin.video.netflix: Inputstream based Netflix plugin for Kodi) stopped working, so I updated it. Whilst updating it, widevine library has been updated. After update was completed, the plugin itself works again but cannot start streams. According to the developer, this is not a plugin issue but apparently a libreelec issue:

I olso have a inputstream.adaptive.so.18.0 in that directory. If you see this error message in the
logfile that a special version of inputstream.adaptive.so is missing than please just copy the available to the requested one.

Thanks for your help. During fiddling around, I came across the fact that I was still on a manually installed Milhouse build from Feb 2018 and apparently not getting updates for the core system and thus having an old inputstream.adaptive version (2.0.something). I discovered that there (meanwhile?) is a possibility of getting the newest builds via repository/update channel as described here: LibreELEC - Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, SkyGo - Christian`s Blog

Can the library buy a Netflix show for professors to show in class? Can this be done for Hulu, HBO, Amazon Prime, Google Play, or any of the streaming services? Can we purchase access to a specific show or movie or subscribe to the service?

The Netflix End User License Agreement, which you agreed to when you created an account, specifies that the account is "only for your personal, non-commercial use." Netflix is not alone here; Disney +, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and other personal streaming vendors do not grant rights for institutional or educational use.

This is important because licenses overrule copyright exemptions. Showing your personal DVD during class is covered by a specific copyright exemption (Section 110), and showing clips can be covered by fair use (Section 107). However, streaming videos from personal subscription vendors in your classroom when the license prohibits such viewings? There is no copyright exemption for that and the situation is problematic.

Some Original educational documentaries are available for one-time educational screenings. To find out which titles are available for educational screenings, go to the "Only On Netflix" section of media.netflix.com. From here, navigate to "All Alphabetical." Titles that are available for educational screenings will display the following grant of permission on their details page:

Netflix is proud to present original documentaries that speak to our users in a meaningful way. We know that many of you are as excited about these films as we are; and because of their informational aspects, you'd like to show them in an educational setting -- e.g., in the classroom, at the next meeting of your community group, with your book club, etc. Consequently, we will permit one-time educational screenings of any of the documentaries noted with this information, on the following terms:

The short answer is no. Unfortunately, these consumer-based services do not have a mechanism for institutional subscriptions, so the SF State Library is unable to provide access to them.

Netflix does grant permission for a few Netflix Original documentaries for classroom use. Netflix has created a YouTube playlist of its educational documentaries for instructors to stream in their online classes:

Scaling each of these solutions presents different challenges. Sending the data to an RDBMS, nosql data store, or even a memcached cluster may allow your dataset to grow indefinitely large, but there are limitations on the latency and frequency with which you can interact with that dataset. Serializing and keeping a local copy (if in RAM) can allow many orders of magnitude lower latency and higher frequency access, but this approach has many scaling challenges:

Netflix, serving many billions of personalized requests each day, has a few use cases for which the latency of a remote datastore would be highly undesirable given the frequency with which those datasets are accessed.

Netflix Hollow is a java library and toolset for disseminating in-memory datasets from a single producer to many consumers for high performance read-only access. Hollow aggressively addresses the scaling challenges of in-memory datasets, and is built with servers busily serving requests at or near maximum capacity in mind.

Due to its performance characteristics, Hollow shifts the scale in terms of appropriate dataset sizes for an in-memory solution. Datasets for which such liberation may never previously have been considered can be candidates for Hollow.

Hollow provides the capability to automatically generate a custom API based on a specific data model, so that consumers can intuitively interact with the data, with the benefit of IDE code completion.

Over time, Hollow automatically calculates the changes in a dataset on the producer. Instead of retransmitting the entire snapshot of the data for each update, only the changes are disseminated to consumers to keep them up to date.
