Anyone having problems with the Netflix app on their devices?

There are a few profiles on my account and for the last number of weeks anything my niece watches on the KIDS profile (the default profile for KIDS) shows up in my profile. No other profile is affected.

Netflix have told me it is a known issue they are trying to solve but it has been at least three weeks.

Also even though autoplay was off for all devices (I always have it that way) the tvOS app suddenly started auto playing next episodes.

That stopped after an update but “ watch credits/play next “ shows on the screen like it used to be before turning off autoplay was allowed.

And now even though I have autoplay previews off the tvOS app start previews on the home page - but not for everything. Seems to be picking what it previews at random.

I did an update earlier but I don’t know if that caused this or if I just had seen the problem before.

Oh man, I'd be tempted to rewatch Resident Evil, just to see if it's as achingly 2000s as my memory says. And if indeed Michelle Rodriguez is immortal, cos having watched that D&D movie, she doesn't seem to have aged a day.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck (2023) Self-help books can fall victim to “delusional positivity”, says Mark Manson, but his 2016 bestseller – off which this pithy documentary riffs – is cut from very different cloth.

Featuring case studies as unusual as Dave Mustaine of Megadeth and a second world war Japanese soldier who never surrendered, he offers up his wisdom with a light touch

Personally I dont think we'll ever see Conor back in the UFC octagon for a title fight. I'll watch this though for sure.

I wouldn't spit on that plank if he was on fire. It's bad enough Netflix waste money on some awful guff, but when they're lining the pockets of a vacuous twat at the same time, it's beyond a joke.

There's a McGregor documentary coming out on Netflix?!?

Well now I'm twice as glad I cancelled my subscription to that service. Really is a trashpile.

Though the regularity with which Netflix has been emailing me, pleading with me to come back, has only made me more glad to have left.

God forbid anyone make a documentary about the greatest fighter the country has ever produced, a man who went from the dole to being the highest paid sportsman on the planet. But I suppose he does punch down a lot ;-)

I made no remark about his success in his profession, but by all accounts the man has shown himself to be a total àsshole. Which kinda makes it hard to cheer this self made story.

He's a decent fellow when the public persona is turned off. Extremely generous and charitable. There is a very long list of people and organisations he has helped. The insulting and the braggadocios behaviour was a huge part of his success in the actual fights. He knocked out the pound for pound best fighter on the planet in 13 seconds because he had manipulated him into the kind of hatred @TICKLE_ME_ELMO has for him, and the guy for the first time in his career got emotional, overstretched and got knocked out. The public personality is also hugely successful in the US market - who are the people who buy all the PPV's and all the whiskey he makes. These days you travel in America as an Irishman and Mcgregors name will get mentioned with reverence. The Americans love it. It was a truly brilliant strategy his whole schtick.

I think it's important to look past the surface which may not be to a lot of peoples taste with McGregor. Of course he has done and said some very questionable things, been very nasty to one ex training partner. Power and money does corrupt the mind no doubt. But the story, the climb to the top and the very clever methods to do it is intriguing no matter what your social views are. Likely it will be the most watched documentary ever made on Netflix.

Punching auld lads in the pub, racism and homophobia - a great bit of shtick altogether! Sure as he said himself as he was getting the head beat off him, "It's only business".
