Netflix Axes Apple AirPlay Support (cnet.com)

Posted by msmash on from the how-about-that dept.

If you stream Netflix on your iPhone or iPad, the app will no longer support Apple AirPlay. A report adds: This means that you won't be able to cast shows on Netflix from your iOS device to your Apple TV. Netflix's note says AirPlay is "no longer supported" due to "technical limitations." "With AirPlay support rolling out to third-party devices, there isn't a way for us to distinguish between devices (what is an Apple TV vs. what isn't) or certify these experiences. Therefore, we have decided to discontinue Netflix AirPlay support to ensure our standard of quality for viewing is being met," a Netflix spokesperson said in an email.

    I find most of the technology today could be so awesome if everything would integrate. Unfortunately, monopolization of the internet as all that destroyed that possibility.

    Laws are rules for the court, but merely a bottom bar to hit for life. Think beyond laws in your actions always.

    I’ve pirated content from Netflix on a few occasions. Why? Because I pay my sub same as everyone else, but the selection they offer here is rather limited compared to that in the US. And the content I was after was not available here through other channels either. No bad feelings about that: either take my money or shut up about “piracy”.
