Netflix Problems

dan_88 — Tue, 28 Feb 2017 17:24:35 GMT

Hello!

I've posted a couple of times before and everyones always been able to help, so I was wondering if you could help me with my latest problem!

I cant access Netflix! Thats the jist of it. I can access it on all my other devices, it just doesn't open on my TV (KD-49X8305C). I get an error message as follows:

"Error

Sorry, we could not reach the Netflix service. Please check Network Settings to connect to an available network and use Netflix (-100)."

I *dont think* this is Marshmallow related as I've searched the forum and not found anything. I also used Netflix on MM successfully a couple of times before the current issue appeared.

I can use YouTube, iPlayer, Kodi, all fine, connecting to the internet fine, no issues. So im pretty stumped.

Obviously would like to avoid a factory reset!

I have gone into Settings and cleared the cache and data, restarted the app, restarted the TV, nothing changed.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hi there

Have you tried just simply rebooting the TV - Press and hold the power button on the TVs remote control for more than 6 seconds and a message will appear on the screen saying TV will restart.

It could also be an issue with Netflix servers?

At this moment, I have a similar issue with Amazon Video. But other apps work, so... Assume Amazon issue.

Edit: See this article:

I have had my KD-55x900f since november 2018 netflix will work for a couple of days then I get the N and a spinning circle under it no error message I let it run for 15 to 20 minutes then hit the app button I have tried going back to factory settings uplugging tv letting it sit for a minute reloading netflix app, all work for a day or two but if you let it go into standby netflix will not work. amazon video works great on the tv so use that primarily. so sony is there a solution.

There has been a software TV update only yesterday/last night. It took about 10-15 mins.

Hopefully, you will have this update aswell and apparently Netflix now works.

I have yet to test Netflix myself but will do so this evening ...
