Ok, but I can’t cancel Netflix more than it’s already canceled.

Casting support is still available on older Chromecast devices or TVs that support Google Cast natively, according to Netflix’s support page

For literally what purpose though? You can’t tell me that casting was some huge problem at Netflix that needed to be corrected, don’t you have literally anything else to do?

This isn’t new, Samsung TV and a Samsung phone have required netflix logins on the TV for a few years or more. The Netflix app on the TV would prompt for a login. Perhaps screen mirror will continue to be available. I can confirm I tried it this thanksgiving and screen mirroring Netflix from a Samsung phone to a Samsung TV does still work.

Cool do they killed downloads to desktop devices and now this. Netflix is absolutely worthless for travelling now.

The Netflix app on my smart TV is so laggy as to not be usable and I do not kid when I say removing the casting feature will just result in my not using of Netflix entirely.

If Netflix hasn’t figured it out yet, there’s this thing called *the internet* where you can get everything for free. This is only going to turn people away from them. I love it when megacorporations can’t help but fuck themselves.

Shouldn’t any modern (smart) TV „support natively“ casting? Am I misunderstanding what „support natively“ means here?
Like, I have one Smart TV with android and one dumb TV with chrome cast, both appear in every „cast via chromecast“ feature in various apps (and my PC Browsers „cast“ feature). This is the native support, right? Is this about some completely alternative (not google/chromecast based) cast-mechanic that they supported previously but now dropped?

So, reducing features to bring more ‚value‘ to their ad-free tiers?
I dropped Netflix as soon as they started enforcing their location restrictions. Don’t miss it at all.

This sucks for travelling. I don’t want to type my account credentials into a random hotel room TV.

What the shitty fuck?! Was my one saving grace too much? Simplicity to cast anywhere in my cast freindly house, work, life…..

Why? Casting is useful especially when the TV app isn’t working and the phone app is.

Imagine still paying for Netflix.

That‘s ok. I bought a NAS, installed Jellyfin and will never again in my life pay for streaming services.

They’re removing features? Surely that means the subscription price will go down as well?

I have a 2008 tv (so not even remotely smart) and I use Chromecast to cast Netflix and YouTube. It’s more of a monitor really as I don’t have cable so this is the only way I watch movies and shows. This might be the final straw so I can finally delete this useless very expensive account

My laptop to TV via HDMI still works fine…pain in the ass, but still works fine..
Also, screen casting to TV from Laptop still works fine, too.

Price goes up, features come down. What could possibly go wrong.

Damn. Even my favourite movie website freemovies247real.org has that feature and full netflix catalog

They need to kill those stupid game adds in the video section.

I noticed awhile ago that Netflix hid the cast to button. Then they only let it appear when the video played as opposed to the menu button. But now it’s gone completely.
