Netflix stopped working on Samsung tv

[LANTIRN]

Tv is a 2011 or 2012 LED model. Netflix stopped working sometime last week, but says the last update was in January. Apparently this has been happening with samsung tvs but there seems to be no good fix I can find. I tried to upgrade the tv software but it says it is up to date. I reset the smarthub and that did not work, and I cannot figure out how to uninstall the netflix app on this damned thing; I was going to try a reinstall. Any suggestions or has anyone had the same problem and gotten it fixed?

Have you tried turning it off and then back on again?

Is resetting the smart hub the same as putting the tv through a full reset?
If so. . . man, that sucks. How much do you want for it?

Not sure on that, will look into it tonight. Full tv reset didn't occur to me since most suggestions were about the smart hub and the app having the issue.

What does that have to do with an app on a smart tv crashing?

Check the actual version number of the software, if you can. Mine said that so I forced an update with a USB stick and what do you know, the update was a newer version. Samsung still has a few bugs to work out on a lot of their products.

I hope you overdose on nitrogen.

I'd recommend trying to deauthorize the device and delete everything related and then reinstall.

If you cant get it figured out, we have chromecasts in two rooms now just for streaming netflix.

Thanks for the suggestions, as soon as I get it figured out I will post up what the problem is. Out of town right now with work but might be able to get to it this weekend.

Well I was out of town for two weeks, have been back for a week and remembered I needed to fix this netflix issue. The tv fixed itself. The app was gone and the tv automatically downloaded a new app and now netflix works.

The same things happening a lot to Sammy owners. I have 2014 and 2015 4k Sammy tvs and they both shit out on Netflix randomly for days sometimes while every other device works. Resets, input renames, reloading apps, resetting router does nothing. It just seems to go away after a few days.

If you want to keep your sanity just buy a roku.

Both my tvs have am entire different chipset as one does 4:2:2 croma and the other 4:4:4 so I just think its a weird Samsung traffic error.

So it was like an automatic update that fixed the issue? I'd agree with the last post, its a common problem, and Roku's aren't very expensive. Just use that for netflix
