Apple TV Update: Where has Netflix "Recently Watched" gone?!

[Gamoe]

I recently updated to the latest Apple TV software. Now, I can't find "Recently Watched" in the Netflix app. Has this just gone with the update? It makes Netflix on the Apple TV a lot less usable now.

EDIT: Nevermind, it's suddenly back...

It also very occasionally disappears on my Roku. Powering it off then on fixes the problem.

This. It will also disappear from my Samsung Smart TV app sometimes as well.. Its a bit annoying but normally re-launching the app will fix it, or if not then turning the TV off then back on will.

Annoying Netflix bugs...

I've experienced this problem occasionally also. It's a problem with Netflix not delivering the recently watched data to your device. From my experience, it's a problem with the Netflix servers, not with your device. (I've experienced the same problem simultaneously on multiple devices only to have it fixed within hours.)

I lost "Recently Watched" after updating the software on my Apple TV. I called Netflix, but they were unable to help. They did not know if this was a glitch or a feature of the update. I tried completely restoring the Apple TV (including another download of the software) but that did not fix the problem. So I gave up and went to bed. The next morning when the Apple TV was turned on "Recently Watched" had returned. So given my experience and the comments above the best course of action seems to be no action, but rather patience, which is not the answer you usually want when your device is not functioning properly.
