Brainwashing huh? I love how pirates always justify their thievery with the whole "copying doesn't take away the original" argument. So besides music and videos, I suppose you also steal apps, even those NOT produced by major developing studios.

Taking away revenue from the content creator =/ stealing. Got it. :rolleyes:

I thought you didn't mind paying for content if you can own it and if it's DRM-free, yet you admit stealing music instead of buying it on iTunes. Basically, you complain about Netflix's "rental" model simply as an excuse. When given the choice of a DRM-free, purchase-to-own model like you had been asking for instead, you still refuse to pay.

You sir have lost all credibility and respect in my view.

Yes brainwashing - read: "They have managed to substitute the loaded terms "piracy" and "theft" for the more accurate "copying" — as if there were no difference between stealing your bicycle (now you have no bicycle) and copying your song (now we both have it). Most importantly, industry propaganda has made it a commonplace belief that copyright is how most creators earn a living — that without copyright, the engines of intellectual production would grind to a halt, and artists would have neither means nor motivation to produce new works."

The "industry" goes against the original design of copyright, in order to profiteer by dubious means.
 
I was just reading something about "binge viewing" and how it is starting to have an effect on TV programming. As more original content is developed for the Internet, like Arrested Development, House of Cards, and Hemlock Grove, people now have the option to take an entire weekend to watch an entire new series in one day or weekend. No waiting for it to come out each week, or after it has been broadcast on a weekly schedule and then released in digital form of some sort.

If people do it for any movie series with multiple installments, why not a "TV" show? Thinking about it, I kinda wish there were playlists in Netflix to allow you to do the same thing with movies. The pause button is always there when Mother Nature, hunger, or the significant other calls.

The temptation is there, but I try to keep to one episode per night. I like Netflix, but I'm presently keeping it (mostly) held back for British TV's summer doldrums.

What a surprise. Another copy-pasted reply by the one who's supposedly NOT brainwashed. :rolleyes:

If you actually took time to read the whole article and the history of copyright and how it was designed to be free and open, before the Stationers of England (aka modern day MPAA) started used the system to pillage and plunder and control creative works for profit, you may realise (hopefully with common sense) that the whole industry is operating on a massive lie to keep the current state of mind, so all the gullible don't question the system. They are afraid of losing control of distribution, and another reason why they hate BitTorrent etc because their are no overheads, no distribution costs etc.
 
OK guys, time to stop feeding the troll.

I had been avoiding updating the NF app because of no way to shut off automatically going to the next episode. But unfortunately, it looks like they changed it on the server side so earlier versions do it too. Looks like another one star review for your app NF, now fix it.
 
Are YOU kidding? How about new releases? It takes almost a year from when a movie is released to show up on Netflix!

You must only stream. Only that can explain why you're having such trouble getting new releases in a timely fashion.

We have the 2 Blu-ray subscription, too.

Depends on the title, some take a long time or aren't on there at all, others are fairly quick. But it's a stretch to say that streaming has no good content. And does anyone else offer a better a better selection of "all you can eat" streaming content? From what I've seen the others have even less.
 
I just cancelled my service because I just don't use it. I have an Android tablet and was excited to try Netflix again thinking it would be cool to use it on my tablet. Used it a lot during the free month, second month used it once and now none during the third month. Just cancelled once again. I think this was the third time because like the other times, I just don't use it and prefer to buy my TV shows and movies in iTunes.

I never once watched on my computer and I have an ATV2 but don't have a TV to use it with yet, maybe next tax season. I've had the ATV2 for 1.5 years and not been able to ever use it.
 
Netflix auto play

I love the auto play except when the Netflix keeps playing when I'm already asleep. I used to just watch one episode and fall asleep to it but now the ipad will continue playing and using my battery life. Can we have an option to turn it off? Or can I revert to an old update?
 
An old version probably won't help, they did something on the server side so that earlier versions always autoplay too. They also force updates at some point, after a while older versions give a message saying it's no longer supported and the user has to update.

I have the same problem. Came up with this solution:

Go to the built in Clock, select Timer at the bottom, then at the top click the Sounds button and select "Stop Playing" at the bottom of the list. Now set the desired time. When the timer goes off it will put the iPad in Lock mode and soon after put to sleep.
 
Does auto-play work for iPhones as well? I am updated, but my iPhone doesn't go to the next episode. iPhone 4S if that matters.

Just saw this. Great find, works as expected. :cool:
 
How to turn off Autoplay on Netflix on Ipad mini

Does anyone know how to turn off the autoplay for Netflix on an ipad mini.
I rang Netflix but they say that it is an apple problem and not a netflix problem.

As far as I know, can't turn it off. And it's ridiculous for them to blame Apple, it's their app and it's a feature that wasn't there until they added it. Whoever you talked to is either just completely clueless or just passing the buck.

Honestly I can't believe they still haven't updated to a version that allows turning that off, it's terrible for watching as you go to sleep and it often cuts of the ends of shows or even the beginning of the next episode.
 
iPhone auto-play?

So I am on the lastest version of the app... but on my 4S, it does NOT auto-play. Is there a setting to enable it?

The Auto-Play feature is only available through your computer browser and iPads. It is not available (as of this posting) for the iPhone/iPad Touch/AppleTV. You still have to use the old finger/remote to watch the next episodes on those devices.
