6.1.9.8 Netflix logs me out after every download

Chameleon

As the title says, the funny thing is that even if it logs me out after the download starts, the download finishes, but I have to log in again to download a second movie.

I just tested my new installation/upgrade of 6.1.9.8 and successfully downloaded 3 movies in a queue without it logging me out.

Ditto
The new 5 episodes of "Emily in Paris" went through without me logging out ..
.. but at the moment I don't dare (anymore) to log out and back in - so I'm using the old cookie

btw: I noticed 2 days ago that my 2nd account no longer follows "Remember me" in Brave (!) ..
.. after closing the browser a new NF login is required (no change of flags, policies or add-ons)

Does it let you put more than one movie in the queue and then start the download?

Chameleon

Let me try again.

I can only download one movie at a time, and it logs out immediately after the download starts. It's like auto-logout, and it has never happened before.

No, as soon as the movie download pops up the program logs out, no chance to search for another movie.No chance to put it in the queue before log out.

I was having the same issue, I ended up changing my password and somehow that fixed the issue, at least for now it has.

Okay, thanks for that. I am going to try that now.

I'm curious about what would happen if you tried to download a TV series. Like, I wonder if it would let you select episodes, download everything, or not work at all. I doubt that would help with troubleshooting, so it's probably not worth your time to check unless you actually want to download a TV series.

I've just successfully downloaded 62 episodes from Netflix via SF 6.1.9.8 without any problems (cookies from 6.1.9.3 or even earlier).

So it is probably again a per account / region thing.

I just downloaded a full 10-episode series. I can download a single episode or a whole series, but I get logged out as soon as the download screen comes up. However, it still downloads when I'm logged out.

Where is the "Remember me" setting in Netflix?

Last week, the login with "Remember me" was permanent for me in Brave - currently no longer

I'm having the same problem. the Browser interface keeps logging out (or at least going back to the Netflix sign-in screen). I am able to download a multi episode series (while the browser is asking me to log back in). I haven't tried a password reset (which I did when the other problems were happening a couple of weeks ago).

(but hey.... I can't download a bit... progress)

I just tried the password reset, and it doesn't work. Thanks, @Germania . I knew about that one, but I thought something else held the cookie. I guess it's just broken on my end.

I just downloaded a movie using a vpn and didn't get logged out after.

So you WERE logged out when you were NOT using a VPN.

What's with this VPN thing? Why does that make a difference?

fanatic

Yes, I was logged out. I then was able to log into NetFlix without using a vpn. Turned the vpn on after i was logged in. Then downloaded a movie.

VPN does not make a difference. I get logged out using a VPN or not using one. I wish out of the people that can download continuous videos, someone would post a screenshot.
