So the AppleTV 4.4.3 update finally added Netflix for Mexico and it works fine, except for one little problem: When I tried to watch a movie, the language was set to "Portuguese", when I usually have it set to "English" when I watch it on the web. How can I change the language and subtitles so they reflect on AppleTV?
press up button in the apple remote during playback. screen apears with info about the movie and then you have to press the select button for more options. then you can select subtitle and language within the movie.
I have the same problem: can't change language/subtitle settings for Netflix Mexico. When I click on the centre button of the remote, it just pauses the movie/tv programme. Are you getting a language options menu when you click on the centre button?
I really wanted to love Netflix Mexico, but I don't at the moment. Hopefully there will be another update soon which adds a bit of consistency - at least a language/subtitle options menu for all movies. By playing around I've found that if you press at the top of the black ring on the remote, a box comes up with a short description of the film and occasionally it says hold the centre button for options. If it doesn't say that then you just have to watch the movie in Brazilian Portuguese and make up your own dialogue.
I'm having the same problem here. However neither the center button nor the up button +select solutions work for me. Those options just pause a movie that has several language options on PS3. Are there any other options or settings that you changed?
I'm having the same problem - in fact I am getting all the movies in English, but there are some which I would like to have in Spanish (for the kids mostly). I have verified on my machine that the movie has a Spanish soundtrack, but when I press and hold the middle button on the Apple TV, all I get is a menu to change the subtitles, but I cannot find where to change the audio. I have also tried changing my default language in Netflix, to no avail.
Have you tried in the Apple TV Settings menu, under Audio, to set the Language and Subtitles options to the desired language? I currently have English as the default Language (it was set to auto) and Spanish as the Subtitles. Yesterday I was watching something on Netflix and the subtitles appeared automatically without using the remote. Of course this may depend on the availability of audio/subtitles Netflix offers.
I am having issues setting the Audio Language in the Netflix App, for exaple in "the hunt fo the red octuber", through the website I can set up the audio language to English, Portuguese and Spanish, and the subtitles to Spanish and Portuguese, but in Apple TV 2 the Audio Language is always set to Portuguese, disregarding the Apple TV configuration which is Audio: English and Subtitles: Spanish. I also tried changing it to Default, but teh result was no different.
I've tried every suggestion posted here . . . the bottom line is, there is no language changing option, only subtitle. I think this is an issue that has to be fixed asap. I keep getting all the movies in portugese even after I change the audio & video options and the general language, and the same movie can be changed in my ps3, because it does have that option. This is getting ridiculous, it's a major bug that I feel is getting no attention . . .
Yeah, so far I have read a thousand forums, and follow every instruction posted. But for some reason, I think this is not happening to everyone or a lot of people at least, because I can't really find many posts of people complaining about this issue!
From reboots to originals, Netflix is full of entertainment for kids. Of course, it also has tons of age-inappropriate shows that kids could easily stumble across. The good news is that Netflix allows parents to restrict access to mature content so kids can only watch shows geared for their age. To enable parental controls on Netflix, you first have to create a user profile for your kid.
You can set a few parental controls through the Netflix app, but you get more options by going through your account on a web browser. Parental controls are just one way to help your kid learn to make appropriate choices and manage screen time independently. They work best with conversation about why you're restricting access.
An individual passcode ensures that each person in the household can only access their account. It prevents kids from accessing parents' profiles or siblings from watching each other's shows. You can also change your kid's passcode if you don't want them accessing their account at all.
Do you need parental controls? What are the options? Do they really work? Here's everything you need to know about the wide array of parental control solutions, from OS settings to monitoring apps to network hardware.
Hi! I have recently purchased this magnificent grand OLED TV and have been enjoying for the past 2 weeks. When watching Netflix (mainly) I noticed from time to time the colour changes to what looks like Sepia-ish or tri-tone colours. I had no idea what to do at first and definitely certain it is not a Netflix setting issue.
I found that all I had to do was to just to exit the "Action Menu > Picture" menu by clicking "Back". A few seconds later, it will switch back to normal colours. I have not done any changes to anything doing this. Really strange!
I'm seeing exactly this on my AF9 using the the TV Netflix app Lost in Space series. If I exit the app completely then the problem can go away but it does return from time to time. So not a consistent problem. If I run the Netfix app from my SkyQ box and watch the same series it doesn't happen. It doesn't happen when I stream from my NAS.
Lost in space is in Dolby vision so it cannot be compared to the version you watch on skyq since it doesn't support DV nor it applies the Netflix calibrated mode that should only valid for non DV content. It could be only related to some metadata problem in the content or some issue with the TV app or some issue with the DV player-led profile used on early version of Sony TVs
Thanks for the reply. It explains why most of the content I watch on Netflix seems fine as no-doubt it is has not been DV. I'm assuming the Sony TV is not picking up Lost in Space is DV content and the calibrated mode should not be used. For convenience I often watch Netflix via SkyQ, but for some high quality films do like the TV app Netflix calibrated PQ.
" This is perfectly normal when watching HDR content as it requires changing the colour profile of the screen to enhance the content you're watching (which it does), but the menus and other elements that aren't optimized for this colour profile will look strange (since they don't change accordingly to compensate for this effect).
So when using my firestick to watch 4K or Ultra 4K on say, the Disney+ channel. The playback looks perfect and must be playing in 4K so happy about that.
But when the program/Film has ended and you return to the TV homepage it is so dark you can barely see the cursor on the screen to actually select anything. It seems that if the TV switches to HDR 10 as it is set to AUTO in ADVANCED SETTINGS, it looks like it is stuck in this mode and will not return to standard settings as you exit onto the HOMEPAGE.
So I am left with dark menus on the Firestick or the sony TV homepage......... then sometime later or the next day it decides to switch back to " Normal brightness " its quite annoying as I have no control over it.
I recorded a short clip that shows this issue perfectly. The snowy scenes in particular really struggle going from magenta tones to cyan to sepia. It's rubbish. Should I log a ticket with Sony support?
@Nodster, seems really annoying! First make sure your TV up to date. Also check if there's any update for Netflix in google play store (Go to Google play store and search for Netflix and check if there's an update option)
do you offer access to Netflix in your listing? If so do you use your own account? Pay for another account? Make them sign in with THEIR account? I have a Netflix account myself and a ROKU I can hook up -- I just today got my first inquiry about Netflix in the unit. I'm wondering how others do it.
I have an additional device account, one for guests. If a guest doesn't have their own account, they can request me to set up access to ours as a guest viewer. Although after 2 years and many bookings, I have had only 2 requests for me to set them up. Most have their own account these days.
We have a guest account for Netflix and Hulu and an old iPhone with nothing else on it signed in for guests to cast to the tv, via google chrome-cast. Old fashioned but does the job at low cost. (We have no tv service.)
Hi Emilia, I'll just be starting to offer Netflix for my guest this coming month and thinking of the same set-up as yours (guest will have access to my account, but with a different user profile). I'd like to ask if you had any instances where your guests have messed with the other profiles on your Netflix account. If yes, what did you do? Or if not, what have you done to prevent this.
@Jose-Feliciano0, just this week I noticed the Grinch was watched on my specific Netflix profile and there were two young children staying in one of my Airbnbs at that time. It doesn't bother me and doesn't happen often. No one has ever messed with my settings or anything like that. I would say it is more frustrating when they log out of my account and into their own. I have to check every time I am turning over the space for a new guest that Netflix is correctly logged into the right account. I would never give my password to a guest so if they get logged out it would require me going over to the apartment to log them back in (luckily, no one has asked me to do that.)
