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.
Hope someone can help! There is a movie in my Save List, specifically Glass Onion, which is a Netflix movie. I want to delete that movie from my list, and there is no option to do so. I do understand that Netflix doesn't work with the Save List, which is the problem - the movie must have been in the My Feed queue before it changed over to Save List, and now it's stuck there. Just as you can't add a Netflix movie to your save list, you also, apparently, cannot delete a Netflix movie from the list.
I want to be very clear, before a rep responds, that I absolutely already know how to add and delete movies from my Save List the standard ways, and I do it all the time. However, the option to remove this particular item is just not there. But there must be some kind of recourse or workaround so it doesn't just remain stuck there forever.
So, any words of advice from the community? Anyone else had this issue and resolved it? If a rep can help, that would be great! (I also can't figure out how to contact Roku directly anymore, as used to be available.)
This issue is annoying me so much that I'd happily clear my entire Save List and re-add everything, just to get this one movie to disappear, lol. If that's an option, I also haven't figured out how to do that - how to clear the Save List (hopefully without doing a factory reset, which I'm not sure would even solve the problem).
Otherwise, search Google for "Roku telephone number" and look at the results just below the "People also ask" section. I tried to post one of the links (P***edConsumer.com), but my post got flagged and deleted.
For what it's worth, I managed to chat with a Roku representative, who was not able to help me at all. Like, AT ALL. Kept telling me to sign into Netflix and remove it from that list. Somehow I doubt that would help, because it's a separate list! Not to mention I am not even currently subscribed to Netflix - I don't even think it was in my Netflix queue, and I can't view it anyway, obviously. Regardless, there's another title stuck in my Roku Save list that has nothing to do with Netflix, and it too is stuck there.
OMG, I went in infuriating circles trying to explain this on the chat, and ended up basically being told there's nothing anyone can do about it. Not great, Roku. I'm pretty patient and understanding about most things, but ugh.
So the gist is, if there's a title which found its way onto your Save List in the past, and is currently either a Netflix title or not currently available to stream anywhere (aka "no providers found"), then you cannot delete it. And apparently Roku cannot or will not delete it for you. (Nor can you clear your entire Save List and start from scratch, apparently.) Seems like a system bug that needs to be fixed, and maybe I should report it that way, at least.
Again, that option doesn't exist on my app. I may have a different version of the app, I don't know, but it is not there - there are no dots at all when viewing the list as a whole, instead there's a box to check or uncheck on each title. I'll try to include some photos, to show what I'm seeing on my app:
Two weeks ago, I wrote about Netflix's announced plan to end its DVD rental business. After 25 years, the last day the red envelopes will be mailed out is Sept. 29. Returns will be accepted through Oct. 27.
If you're a Netflix member, you'll soon be getting an email from the company about your viewing history. I received it recently, and it said that the company "anticipated that our members would appreciate a way to download their DVD Netflix history. This personalized PDF contains your queue, rental history, ratings and reviews."
The list can be easily downloaded from Netflix by just a click on the email's box, and titles are arranged by dates shipped. Movies that have been rated by the user are listed separated by the number of stars given. I only rated about 25% of mine.
"We estimate the likelihood that you will watch a particular title in our catalog based on a number of factors," a Netflix spokesman said. "It's based on one's viewing history and ratings, information on titles including categories, actors and release year, and how long you watched."
If you haven't gotten the email yet, you can review your DVD history by logging on to your account at the Netflix DVD site (www.dvd.com). Click on the profile icon, and then on "account." Scroll down and click on "DVD Rental Activity."
Have you ever seen a movie that changed how you look at the world? A movie that, after watching it, you walked through life with a whole new perspective, ultimately impacting how you interact with those around you?
So, if you're a social work major and looking for some flicks that can potentially have this type of effect on you, making you even better at your career because of it, there are a few films you just might want to add to your must-see list - or your Netflix queue.
The main character is 18-year-old Susanna Kaysen, played by Winona Ryder, and the movie takes place inside an inpatient mental health facility. During the movie, Girl, Interrupted takes you through Kaysen's journey as she tries to come to terms with her own issues related to depression. It also touches on some of the issues faced by other patients in the facility, some of whom are struggling with schizophrenia, sex abuse, and obsessive-compulsive behavior.
This film gives great insight into how complex mental health issues typically are, both for the patients experiencing them and for those who are trying to help treat them. It also opens your mind to how people's views of the world can really impact the way they navigate through their lives. Plus, it does a great job of humanizing people with these types of conditions.
In it, Sean Penn plays Sam Dawson, a high-functioning, developmentally delayed man who suddenly becomes a single father to a young girl named Lucy (played by Dakota Fanning), whom he had with a homeless woman. Though Sam can do a fairly good job taking care of her on his own, authorities question his abilities, sending Sam to court in an effort to prove he has what it takes to be a good parent, entering a major battle to hold on to his parental rights.
This movie serves as a great reminder that, in social work, many lives are typically at stake. So, even if you're just working with one person, it's likely that any decision you make will affect the family unit as a whole. It also underscores how important a strong support system is.
Winner of four Academy Awards, A Beautiful Mind is a true story based on a man by the name of John Nash (played by Russell Crowe) who, despite being exceptionally smart, develops paranoid schizophrenia. During the film, you're taken through Nash's delusions, as well as what occurs in his real life, as he struggles to figure out which is which.
This film highlights how real things can be to someone who experiences hallucinations consistent with mental illnesses like schizophrenia. It also gives you a taste of what it's like to deal with this type of issue when you realize that the lines between what is fact and what is fiction are suddenly starting to blur.
What makes this one of the top movies for social work majors is that it addresses many of the issues that are oftentimes hidden within family dynamics. It also features how quickly someone's life can change when they're given a chance and a helping hand.
This movie is based on a true story about a woman, Jeannette Walls (played by Brie Larson) who grew up in poverty with an alcoholic father, Rex (played by Woody Harrelson),,, and an eccentric artist mother, Rose Mary (played by Naomi Watts). Seeing the way each of them operates as a parent gets you thinking about how every action a mother and father make can have a lasting impact on a young child who is simply caught in the mix.
