Version 6.2.0.6 unable to login to Netflix

[Stan001]

I know some say they tried 6205, but I NEVER updated to 6206, because there was nothing updated in it. So I stayed with 6205 and can download fine from Netflix.
If YouTube and Amazon ever get included in an update, I may update and possibly then be in trouble.



ADDED: I also truly believe there is no reason to log out of other devices. You should see my list of devices, which I can only use one at a time anyway because of Netflix restrictions, but I must have over 20 devices showing as logged in. And never logging them out, ever fixed login issues with SF. Luckily I have not had a lot of issues, most times it was a bad password or email even though the password and email were right or some crazy thing like that.

[Stan001]

I wanted to add one or two more things.
With Netflix the more you try, if getting the wrong email and/or password, or even other issues with Netflix like any kind of log-in issue, and you know they are right, the more trouble you will cause.
It can take 12, 24, or up to 48 hours to be able to log in again via SF.
I am sure some tried, but maybe try again with an uninstallation of SF and use 6205, as I still have NO issue with Netflix.
But you still also may be under NF 12, 24, or 48-hour login block. It sucks but try to wait it out.

With SF's new browser updates, this should not be happening, but then yet again, it is SF.

I think Stan001 got the point. SF is currently simply failing with Netflix. Tried Win Version and MacVersion.... ....no way, to get to a successful download like I used to do in the past.

When the NF API stopped working, this thread had over 1000 hits per day.
If SF 6206 had a fundamental general problem with NF ..
.. there wouldn't just be 10 users reporting problems.

The some users with NF problems existed with earlier SF versions as well
and the solution to the problems often varied in nature.
There was never one solution that worked for everyone.

Since the same SF versions are available to everyone
and do not behave in the same way for everyone,
there is only one conclusion:
There are various causes, not all of which are to be found in SF.

btw: I have personally experienced a maximum of four SF versions in over a year
where my two accounts required more than one login attempt
and were never affected for more than 48 hours.

The sad part is you can't contact NF as then you would have to tell them you're using an unauthorized browser/downloader.
This now has started to effect another downloader/so-called recorder, but they plan to release a quick patch fix in the next several days.

If you look closely, Netflix site says what is shown below and for some reason still is effecting SF as well as some other downloaders/recorders.
And in the past when at least I got it, it seemed it was close to a 48-hour wait and then if not a fix is needed to SF.

The way I look at it is if Netflix is the one that is making using their service so impossibly hard the way you want to use it, SCREW THEM. Unsubscribe! Don't give them any money. Whatever movie/show you want to download from Netflix will probably be on another service next month without all the hassles. Or better still, let the SCENE do the work for you. You can find anything and everything from Netflix from the SCENE via Torrenting or Newsgroups. It's not uncommon to have 4k versions of Netflix movies/shows available from the SCENE. Don't give money to a service that treats you as an enemy and makes you jump through fire to get what you want. Go with the SCENE and make yourself Netflix's real enemy by getting everything for free.

I cant log in using my username or e-mail, but I can when using my phone number for some reason. I found that to be my cheat to be able to log in after having the cant log in issue for days. I haven't had that issue before. Anyone who cant log in, try using your phone number to login instead.

However nothing will work once I log in. The window goes all black and nothing will show up and no links will work either. I close the tab, reopen it, and the tab loads fine after that, but then not a single thing at all will finish analyzing. It gets stuck on analyzing, and nothing will work. It hasn't mattered what fixes I have tried. Reinstalling, deleting files, many other commonly told to do things in this forum. I have to use my number to log in and not get that technical error that says they are working on a fix on NF, and when I do log in, analyzing never finishes or works.

I have tried this on 3 different computers, each with a different Operating System, and its the same across all 3 for whatever reason. I pretty much gave up out of annoyance.


Now there was one time, I flipped through my family accounts profiles a crapload of times just out of curiosity, and then tried it again, and it decided to randomly work out of nowhere and finish analyzing something, but once I exited the program and tried it again later, it was back to that same exact issue again and just would not work for me.

I do tend to agree. I saw too on Newsgroups numerous Netflix movies being posted in 4K. I still can't get myself or money together for 4K TV, but I do sometime download 4k anyway, hoping for future 4K TV. And if not on Newsgroups yes, good chance another provider will have someday, except Netflix exclusive content, but that's where newsgroups etc. come in. In US, I stay away from torrents even with VPN, even though as long as I use VPN I get no notices.
Some torrent sites are not available to all, some require invites or money to join.

It's been 99% confirmed there is something with Netflix website. SF and at least one other program won't log in. Yet though another program did log in, so you wonder what the ones that do that log in do it different then the ones that don't. Thankfully I make back-ups I restored a back-up just a day or 2 ago of SF location Documents\DVDFab\StreamFab\Temp\cache and am logged in again to NF. Still can't find all that needs to be in that location, so no need to back-up/restore whole directories. I had a list of files/folders, but now that changed.

I'm in the US and I never use a VPN with my torrenting. The trick is to only use a private tracker (torrent site). I started with one private tracker 12 years ago and have never gotten a DMCA notice since. Then I was offered an invitation to a companion tracker to the one I had, followed by another invite to another companion tracker a few years later. With those 3 trackers, I can get everything I want 99% of the time.
I'll end this off-topic discussion by listing a few sites where you can get invites.

I also have a few invites to give out, myself. PM me and if I know you from here, and I can trust you (because I can lose my tracker membership if YOU do something stupid) I'll see about sending one over to you. New Members and Junior Member, here, need not apply.

Thanks, Cats4U, as I said I have VPNs, so I have no worries. I just like to get the stuff from Newsgroups and unfortunately, some stuff is not there.
Like you sometimes said, you had issues with soaps, I think it was days of our lives. I can't get, right away, some shows from Amazon, even through some torrent sites I know.
Writing to Newsgroups indexers, all they say is they index what's there, not responsible if stuff is not there or late coming.
And even some stuff is not on Torrent at all, who knows why. Also, other info I got was at least 90% of stuff on Newsgroups comes from people downloading or having access to it through Torrent and then uploading to the Newsgroups.
Yes, at times VPNs can be a bit slow, but that was mostly worked out once WireGuard came. Even with most VPNs requiring connecting to Canada or the Netherlands, or some other place other than the US, if you do torrent, you still can get pretty fast speeds.
I had access to an NL Usenet server and never saw a difference in speed versions a US server.

My main reason now for posting here is I found we can use the old VPN trick to again login to Netflix. I started a VPN and went to Netflix through Cleverget the first location that was picked was the best location and did not work, The second location I picked was Miami and I got logged in. EVERYONE'S mileage again will vary and depend on the initial location. But I feel if people try 4 or 5 different locations each time trying just to log in they will be successful, even in SF, after login then they can disconnect the VPN. This worked in the past with NF and worked for me, so it's worth those who have access, to try. You may even be able to do it if you have access to proxies, as they too will change IP and location. I can get access easily to Canada and the Netherlands locations and other places via proxies as well.
