[Electronics-talk] Netflix

Sun Apr 19 04:49:00 UTC 2015

I spent an hour online with tech-support and came across two separate issues either of which you might run into:

Number one, they had some sort of optional flag set on my account which prevented the descriptive track. Tech-support was able to remove that and then I could use it on my iPhone.

However it appears that the first generation Apple TVs don't support the descriptive track, at least that seems to be why it doesn't work on one of my two Apple TVs.

Thanks,
Mike

Sent from my iPhone, please forgive the typos.

I've heard on other lists that some people's Android devices are not allowing the AD track to bee in the menu either, so it might just be a bug at Netflix's end. For watching stuff like this, I'd rather be airplaying it out of my old 4S since the battery has already seen its better day, and I mostly leave it plugged in to my laptop's USB port. For me, the 6 is the only thing I have gotten the AD option to work on, despite repeated signing in and out.

>> Okay.  The trick is this.  You have to start playing the slection first. I can tell you that, right now, Marvl's Daredevil is the only one with description.  Here's how to do it.
