Netflix Netflix stuck on analyzing with v6.2.2.8 -> had to revert to 2.2.6

Maybe it is just me because no one else is mentioning Netflix (only youtube)
I found this to be the case with both Netflix Canada and Netflix US (using a vpn).
I think it is the same with v6.2.2.7 but when I reverted to v6.2.2.6 I was able to download again.

I have no issues downloading from Netflix in both the USA (where I live) or another country like Canada. Using a vpn though will take longer to analyze depending on what country you try.

I have this problem constantly with 6.2.2.8 and maybe also earlier versions.

I didn't have to downgrade, as for me restarting SF helps - but sometimes 4 or 5 times in a row. After it 'kicks in' and starts working it usually works fine - up until it crashes during another analysis. Then it is all over again for me...

These problems seem exclusive to Netflix. Annoying as hell.

I only have problems if use NordVPN. Without VPN working fine.

No problems for me with SF 6228 and NF when using VPN ..
.. when trying to analyze the first NF title, a refresh (2nd attempt) is usually required (with or without vpn)

But I have noticed that the Analyze takes much longer when AV1 is offered with and without HDR (info)

Interesting that people are getting varied results.
For me, restarting SF never solved the issue, nor did logging out/logging back into Netflix, nor did exiting/re-entering Netflix, nor did cancelling and retrying. As for the waiting, I waited a good 15 minutes to test and still no results. I'll just wait for the next release and give that a go.

I don't know, maybe I don't download enough or the right things, but everything I try comes fine and quickly, even with using AV1.
People could try H264.
Maybe try, before doing a clean uninstall, delete everything in the temp folder with SF closed. Then try again.
Open File Explorer in Windows and paste in (code) from below, and you will see(screenshot below), and then select all and delete.

ADDED: Using a VPN can and will affect SF performance and may cause it not to analyze or download at all.
If using a VPN, try different VPN servers, if possible different locations, and even a different VPN provider if possible.
Also, if 6226 works, then keep that and 6228, soon to be 6229. The only change for Netflix recently was in 6227 ...

• Fix: A problem that videos cannot be downloaded in AV1/VP9 video format when set to AAC audio from Netflix.
