Netflix App - Cant Choose Episodes From The Queue

Feb 28, 2011

Is it just me, or is the Netflix app sorta crappy? I also run Netflix on my PS3 and even that leaves a lot to be desired. The only thing that I've read about it along these lines are about occasion freezes and such which do happen but that's not my main issue. Here are a few things I've noticed and a tip for my workaround - any other feedback is welcome!

1. I mostly watch TV series', but I still haven't found where I can add one to my instant queue. If it's there, it's well hidden. So I end up adding it to my main queue, which also puts it in the instant queue, then manually delete each disk from the main queue.

2. But you cant choose episodes from the queue, only the disk. So I have to go back to the main library and find the season, click the title and wait for the popup. This is slow. Finally, when the popup comes up, I click "More Details" which lists the episodes. I wouldn't even bother with the queue but I'd like it in there incase I want to watch it on TV.

3. Then, the progress lines for the episodes are usually one step behind. After an episode, I go back to the launch page and the progress bar is not updated. Even exiting out and back in to the app doesn't always work.

4. Another glitch, sometimes when exiting from the video screen, the app window does not change back to the proper resolution - it stays at the higher res but the window only occupies about 2/3 of the screen and the content is much smaller.

Those are my main complaints and work-arounds. With Netflix on just about every device out there, at least for the TV devices, the app seems to be for the device specifically. But the iPad version seems to be a slightly modified version of their website. I would think the iPad would be the one place they would pay extra attention to detail, not less. Maybe I have it all wrong - is it that out of all people who own an iPad and have a Netflix account, that there are only a small minority who use it to stream content?

Get To The Menu Of Episodes In Netflix Instant Queue

Jun 6, 2010

Even though some of the performance of the app seems clunky (i.e. when scrolling through my instant queue the motion hitches,m quite a bit, waiting for it to actually show a movie is painful), I'm enjoying watching a tv series. However, I can't figure out is to get a list of the episodes. At one time, I did get the list and I don't know how it happened. When I press Play, I get whatever episode I last viewed and it picks up from where I left off.I press Done and I'm back in the Instant Queue. I reasoned that maybe I should tap the name of the series, I.e, Bones Season 1. It turns red for a sec but does it launch the submenu of the episodes,

Watch Tv Series With Multiple Episodes Via Netflix Stream?

Apr 6, 2010

I added Dexter to my watch now queue. When I press play it just starts playing the first episode on the disc with no option to select the other two episodes on the disc. I tried forwarding to the end of the episode but then the movie just closes as if there are no more episodes on the disc.

Anyone know how to watch/select the other episodes?

Unable To Remove Download Queue

Jul 2, 2010

I was browsing itunes for free tv show episodes and I added several to my download queue. Downloaded most of them and then the Chuck pilot episode started to download, seeing that its 1 gb I decided to remove it from my download queue. I swipe my finger but nothings happening, I can pause the download but I cant seem to delete it. I added other podcasts to the queue and I could delete them.

Deleting Download Queue On IPad 1

I have several items with download errors stuck in my download queue in iTunes on my iPad 1 that I'm unable to delete or download. I've talked to iTunes customer support and these downloads only show up on this device, not on my account with apple. I wish apple would put a edit button on that screen!)

Safari Can't Queue Links Or Open Them In Background

Apr 11, 2010

Has anyone found a workaround for Safari's lack of an "Open in Background" option? I assume Apple left that feature off since the iPad is a little light on RAM (presumably for cost and power consumption considerations), and can't preload too many pages simultaneously.

But a way to queue up links would be useful. As is, if I want to finish browsing a page before going to other linked pages, I need to:

1 Tap-and-hold a link
2 Choose "Open in New Page"
3 Wait a second for the new page to start loading
4 Tap the window manager
5 Tap the original page
6 If the original page has a lot of content, wait for it to reload
7 Repeat steps 1-6 for each link

Step 6 is the most inconvenient: large pages with lots of images take a while to load and almost always need to reload even if only one other window has been opened.

I'm surprised there isn't an "Add to Queue" option in Safari's tap-and-hold context menu (with the "Queued" folder available through the bookmarks button).

Email Mass Delete In Inbox Queue?

May 23, 2012

Is there a way to mass delete emails in the inbox queue, without having to click on each one individually in Edit mode to later delete them? It's pretty cumbersome. A "select all" followed by "delete selected" would have been nice.

Netflix Unable To Reach Netflix.com

Sep 9, 2010

I have a two Wifi only Ipads, 16GB. I have successfully watched several Movies and TV shows on the Netflix app. But sometime in the last few weeks the Netflix App has all but become useless. I am able to launch the app and browse, edit and add things to my queue. But when I click on the Play button it takes me to the "You're almost ready to watch" screen and tries to load the movie for a few seconds and then I get an alert: "Unable to reach netflix.com" and stops there. The movie never starts. I know that the app itself has been updated but I am 90% sure that I was able to watch things after the latest update. I have deleted and reinstalled the app, restored my Ipad back to defaults, tried on at least three different ISP's and have tried the same Netflix account on my second Wfi Ipad, and have tried my parents account on either Ipad with it never working

What Gives With Ripped TV Episodes

Mar 10, 2011

I have several seasons of Battlestar Galactica that I have ripped from my DVDs using Handbrake with the Apple Universal preset. This content is shared via home sharing on my Mac Mini which I use as a media center/DVR (EyeTV, etc.). I am able to view this content on my MacBook Pro.With the introduction of iOS 4.3 I was expecting to be able to do the same on my iPhone with home sharing, but this unfortunately isn't the case. None of this ripped content is even displayed in the shared library on the iPhone.However, if I change the type of video file from TV episode to movie in iTunes this content becomes available on the iPhone. What gives? Are there some metadata tags that need to be changed? If so, what? And what is the best software to do this?

TV Episodes Not Displaying In Order

Nov 21, 2010

So I've ripped TV series via Handbrake and plugged them into iTunes, assigned the correct episode number and everything.However, when I sync it to my iPad and go into Videos, they're in a completely random order and this makes it a complete pain to know which episode is next. I've looked, and I've searched, and I have nothing.
Any help? Anyone figured out this stupid problem?

Does Not Mark Correct Episodes

Jul 7, 2010

I have both my iPad & iPhone set to sync TV Shows with the following setting: "Automatically include the 5 oldest unwatched episodes of all shows" When I have shows that are marked as watched they do not sync to the iPhone 4 (which is correct) but they continue to sync to my iPad. I cannot seem to keep them from sync'ing to the iPad. I don't want to manually control it on the iPad as I'd like to just keep sync'ing the episodes I've not watched yet (as I've done for ages on my iPhone).

Watch Tv Episodes Downloaded On TV?

I can't find a definitive answer to this. I want to download TV episodes and connect iPad to my large screen HDTV. One of the techs at the Apple store said neither the VGA or the other adaptervkit will work because the iPad is no equipped to do it. Has anyone tried this and why would Apple sell adapters unless they spell out the use limits?
