I am asking if a ROKU device will allow me to watch my netflix account on a older Panasonic plasma TV that does not support the streaming of the Netflix account now. Some kind of adapter suggested needed?

If the TV has HDMI inputs, you can use any Roku device. If cost is an issue, I would recommend the Express 4K+. Do NOT get the regular Express, as it has too little memory and runs into constant issues.

@DennyPAs the other member stated, Roku's connect via HDMI so the Panasonic will need to support 1080i (HD) in order to use it. If yours is 720p, it probably uses RCA composite connections which won't work with current Roku models. I owned a couple of Panasonic plasma and the switch to OLED is remarkable as is 4K resolution

No Roku I know of has ever supported 1080i. All current models support 720p and 1080p, and the 4K models support 2160p. I had an older Panasonic plasma (ST30, 1080p) and it worked just fine with my Roku players at the time.

Hello everybody
I have a Panasonic TX-65GZC954 OLED TV installed in my Control4 setup. The appropriate driver was installed via SDDP.
How can I start Netflix, Amazon Prime, Zattoo directly? In the Composer under Panasonoic App, not programing ... How can I assign the apps?
Many thanks for your support!

Panasonic doesn't support universal mini drivers, devices which do are listed in the driver docs. Your pretty much limited to listing the Panasonic App menu under the watch menu. Selecting that will open the smart hub on the tv, from there you can select youtube etc.

The Neeo is quite a bit better at a lot of other things (lights, thermostats, audio service selection/playing), etc. than the SR260, but if you want it for starting Netflix with one press on your Panasonic, you're out of luck.

Yea I am BIG panasonic guy myself and have a new OLED too. I really wish I could directly launch mini apps but it can't be done. At least the IP integration is rock solid. In two years of having it I've only ever had to hard power cycle the TV once, and I've never messed with Composer or C4 becuase the TV lost connection. It is solid.

I would stick with the current driver and just assigns the Apps page to a custom button - since it's a minor inconvenience and there are other apps Amazon prime also available.

The TVs are really good only drawback is high power consumption in standby when WOL is activated - its 15w on my 2018 OLED.
I did however program a workaround and turn it in via IR and use IP control for the rest

There's some good news out there for aspiring documentary film makers and Panasonic users - the Panasonic S1H has recently been certified for Netflix! The S1H is the first video/stills hybrid camera as well as the first mirrorless camera to be accepted by the platform. This means that getting your underwater video on Netflix is just a little bit more feasible as the Panasonic S1H is more of a consumer priced camera at $4,000 than a professional cinema camera.

So what does it take to get Netflix certified? As the world's leading streaming service, Netflix holds content shown on its site to stringent technological standards. Here's what Netflix requires from cameras used on its platform:

When looking at the Panasonic S1H specifically, the S1H supports pixel-for-pixel readout in DCI and UHD 4K with the full width of its sensor and in Super 35 mode. It also supports pixel-for-pixel readout in 4K @ 60fps. Because Netflix doesn't allow line-skipping, the S1H is limited to use in 4K - the camera is not certified at higher resolutions for netflix.

Unlike with the Panasonic S1 and S1R, the S1H is promising a long list of powerful specs. The S1H could be the future of underwater videography. At an estimated retail price of $4000, the S1H is on the expensive side for a camera body. But it is also the first interchangeable lens camera that can capture 6K video. Real underwater cinema set ups that can shoot more than 4K video start to reach prices that exceed the price of many cars. So this is an economical option for any underwater videographer looking to capture the finest details the oceans have to offer. Moreover, 4K @ 60p with 10 bit recording promises beautiful color tones between shadows and highlights. And the V-log picture profile has our mouths watering. Being able to capture 14+ stops of details is a dream for any underwater videographer facing difficult lighting conditions where a single scene can include bright sun and dark abyss.
