Netflix (v4.9.5) Error 1018 on Playback
#1
After months of no issues, Netflix has stopped working for me on my Pine. I'm not using any VPN adapter to spoof locations and Netflix works on various other devices on our network, so it's not likely a local network issue.  When I open Netflix, I can get to the titles, but it provides this error anytime I try to play something:

Quote:Playback could not be started. If the problem persists, please restart your device and try again (1018).

I restarted the board, then also followed all of the instructions on this page (https://help.netflix.com/en/node/14148) and reset my app data, then reinstalled the app. No success.

I then updated my device to Firmware 1.2.6 and my software to the Android 5.1.1 July release and redid everything above again, just to be sure it wasn't an issue in the older OS release that has since been resolved. Still, no dice.

These errors started earlier this week when Netflix updated to version 4.9.5 (code 10060). Looks like it is now using Google SSO features now as I don't have to input my username/password, which could be part of the problem (I occasionally struggle with the Google Account sign in issue, so I'm thinking this may now be affecting Netflix)?

Any ideas on how to fix this? Our Pine is the #1 device we use in the house to stream Netflix, so this is a major problem for us.

Thanks,
 Evan

I would say that you've answered your own question.

... I might suggest trying to make sure that your date and time and set correctly;  also try logging into your google account first-- can you use the play store?  can you get your gmail ?

... then try hitting the netflix forum too.  Others on this site may be able to provide assistance or experience.

faced many problems many times with netflix and then switched to an app called showbox already, recommend to you. I am using this service without paying any single penny. show box apk ad-free version has amazing music streaming feature. Now, you can get all the awesome features in the single app.

Did you find it that much easier to use that you registered your username here with their name?
+1 me if I have helped you in any way. Thank you.
