Maybe someone notices something strange...

No one has any ideas? I just don't understand why it works on my BD-F6500 and not on any non US TV's. The app has all European languages in it, so it clearly is not designed for US only. I wonder why the new UI is not yet released in Europe for F series TV's.

maybe just a stupid versionstring check routine in the netflix app?

I have read the code many times, i can't find it. But i'm not good in javascript. Do you have time to take a look Arris69?

Wouldn't it make sense if it returned a error when it's a check? It looks like it crashes. We only get a black screen for a second and then it returns to TV source.

Do you think that it could be this check? viewtopic.php?p=38754#p38754
As i understand it, it should get a OK to run the app if the app is available for the TV in App store, correct?

not really, the netflix isn't written in javascript, the main app is native code (as far i remember)

this ist just the part where the tv communicates with samsung server to download/update apps.

The emp is partly native and partly javascript. As far as i understand, the checks are in Javascript. I can see it checks location, locale and DNS. I can't find any checks for TV model or firmware version.

I have confirmed it sees the emp in emp folder. If i start the app without emp, it hangs with black screen. If the emp is in emp folder, then it looks like it exits/crashes and it returns to TV source. Now that i think about it, it actually looks like it exits. If a app crashes, it usually hangs and doesn't return to TV source automatically.

If an app exits, doesn't it return to the smart hub?

It depends on what function the app uses for exit, both are possible.

Can anyone in Netflix supported European country contact Netflix support and ask them when we Europeans will get the new UI on F series TVs? In US it was released in December if I remember correctly...

[M11]

Samsung has released a new update for 6 Series TV's in US and according to the changelog it fixes Netflix loading issue. Also the issue page from Netflix help center has been removed. So it looks like it was/is a firmware issue, now the question is if or when Samsung releases fixed firmware in non US countries.

Just tried the new .2000 firmware with the v4 Netflix app.

While version 4 still doesn't seem to work on european tv sets, the app actually behaves differently to before the firmware update. It used to crash immediately back to the Smart Hub. But now it instead remains stuck at the "loading Netflix" loading animation.
