I'm assuming you've already set up a couple of profiles in Netflix? (the website, not an app) Have you tried restarting?

Yeah, if you have multiple profiles set up, the first menu after choosing Netflix is a "who is watching?" screen.

This extra step (also in the iOS app iirc) is what led me to actually get rid of the extra profiles I'd set up. There needs to be a "switch profile" option to use at the appropriate time instead of having to make the choice every drat time. Between this and their so blatantly bungled website redesign (which they have yet to fix and it's been more than a year now, right?) I don't think Netflix actually does any kind of usability testing ever.

Any word on plex connect? [Ed] interesting, I get errors when I try to even hunt for the update. I wonder if the plex connect profile blocks it... Feenix fucked around with this message at 05:10 on Sep 21, 2013 |

I did set my own on the site, guess I'll add another there and see what happens. Edit: it worked. Wow, I'm dumb. Thanks guys. ZeeBoi fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Sep 22, 2013 |

Is this the place to go if you have questions about watching Netflix on IPtv? I'm in Canada and have been trying to puzzle out some stuff regarding Netflix all night, I couldn't find a Netflix topic anywhere on SA bar a one about movies people are watching in Cinema Discusso, and I had a few things I'd like to ask about. Am I dumb and missed a topic somewhere?

I ran the update and it messed up my aTV and stuck it in recovery mode. Managed to restore it from iTunes and reset everything (also got to use that awesome 'tap iPhone against aTV to set up' feature!), but I can't say I'm impressed with the smoothness of installing such a minor update. Edit: vvvv Looks like I'm not the only one,  buddy. Micro USB (used by the Kindle, most (all?) Android/Windows Phones, some external HDs and may other things). I had to unplug the power on mine after restoring for it to stop blinking and tell me to connect it to iTunes.

Apple pulled the update from OTA last night apparently because of many reports of bricked ATV's. Sad. One of my two went flawlessly and the one hooked to the home theater can't update so no itunes radio. Guess I'll just airplay.

One of mine hung on the update. I found something online that said just point the remote at it and press play and the menu button at the same time. It reset the box and all is good.

mediaphage posted:What are your questions? If it's about other countries' netflix, I think the current recommendation is unblock-us.com. Yeah that was basically my question. I was trying to set up Netflix for my mom and I followed some online instructions but all that ended up happening was I became unable to connect to Netflix while the internet seemed to work fine for other stuff. (I double and triple-checked the rules over this, I'm still not sure and I should probably ask to clarify before I bury myself any deeper, does it constitute  to ask about getting different Netflix libraries?)

So in my case, I changed by 192.168.xxx.xxx address to 4.2.2.2 (or you can use 8.8.8.8 - whatever floats your toboggan) did the update, then after the 20 minute process, switched it back and went back into Plex. Was nice this morning listening to iTunes Radio

Thanks for the confirmation. I assumed so and did it last night sbyway. Total cakewalk. Appreciate the help! Speaking of... I pm'ed you a while back with my log after plex stopped working. Did you ever get a chance to look at that PM?

So I'm not crazy, those weren't there last night when I was turning off channels I'll never use. A few random tips for anyone switching to Plexconnect: *The iPhone Configuration tool (the one you use to load the self-generated cert for trailers.apple.com onto the ATV2) won't work unless you've completed the initial setup on the ATV2. *It is possible to install two certs for trailers.apple.com on the PC you're using to do this, and have the configuration tool install the wrong cert (that doesn't match your server)  *If it seems like everything is going slower than poo poo on the ATV2, reboot it and try again. I was having massive timeouts going to anywhere (Netflix, Plexconnect, etc) until I pulled the power on the ATV2 and let it reboot. Worked perfectly as soon as I did that. *Tinyumbrella will let you back up your existing ATV2 firmware without having to enter DFU mode, which is handy if you lost your silver remote  That said I don't think I see any reason to go back.

Netflix posted:All Netflix members, regardless of their Internet service provider (ISP), now have access to the highest quality HD streams available on Netflix. Apple TV shows a [Super HD] icon on all shows that support it. Watching Portlandia and it's noticeably better. Took a while to kick in though. Edit: On Time Warner Cable. Didn't have it before.

Obviously rumors are just rumors and are constantly wrong, especially for TV related stuff, but the event is supposedly this month. Not a long time to wait to make sure. All that said, it's only $99 and you have 14 days to return it.
