Netflix accidentally made its content show up in the Apple TV app
-
Ahh, so this must be on apple devices only.
-
They pulled that same shit on Android as well. But I think they are integrated back in on the current generation of it.
-
Except Apple doesn’t auto-log-out people in multi-user homes, kinda makes it a PITA to do so, and forces you to have one main account.. that then becomes the nexus for all content the users/family watch. So (a) that feed is absolutely useless in these homes and (b) some people don’t want their netflix queue showing up for everyone to see (the kids, for example).
-
In my experience the last accessed account within a streaming service is what shows.
Source: I've been using Apple TV for years.
-
Federated streaming service when?
-
Netflix is like the only one on Android I have that ISN'T opt-ed out.
-
I think that's just BitTorrent.
-
Yes, that doesn’t conflict with what I said above. There are also multiple streaming services, so anyone of them could have had any one of the apple tv users as their last login.
-
You have to enable each service on Android TV. Most streaming services are on there.

Popcorn Time was pretty close
-
Are you talking about the recommendations feature the home screen has or is there something
betterelse that I don't know about? -
I have been using a single Apple TV in a multi-user home for many years, I think you’re overselling the difficulty here. Virtually every app will just ask you what user profile you want to use when the app opens; and when you’re done, closing the app is simple.
It’s far more obnoxious to need to browse every single app for their content rather than having a single unified watch list and closing an app when you’re done.
-
What are you even talking about?? This entire thread- no post- is about apple showing the content of the apps in the main feed?
Are you lost? This discussion has nothing to do with login in or out of specific apps.
-
I mean, you lead with “logging out is hard so I have no choice but to have a single user”. I countered with “it’s not hard, we do it just fine, here are mechanics that make it fairly easy”.
If you don’t understand that closing the tv app stops showing the tv app I’m not sure how to help you.

Logging out of apple tv you imbecile
-
Solid argument. Go you.
-
My argument is founded inherently by the fact you invented a problem of logging in/out of individual apps from thin air, then tried to lay it at my feet as my problem. This due ostensibly to your inability to follow context. The nature of your imbecility is simply implied by the facts and your blind arrogance.
-
Or, you know, you could just use Apple’s feature and switch to a different Apple TV (device) user account? This should also switch to whatever accounts that user was logged in to in all related services.
-
I’m not surprised. The argument at the time was that they needed users to be inside their own app and anything less was unacceptable.
Gotta gobble up dem user metrics, I guess.
