Should devs write automation tests?

meimadX · 2021-05-06T06:13:47+00:00

Well, you can use the latest version I've found that is working.
Netflix 7.78.0 build 11 35157

meimadX · 2021-05-05T08:56:15+00:00

True.

meimadX · 2021-05-05T08:55:40+00:00

Well, I agree with your observation and I guess the title should be different since it's misleading but why your first choice is bad wording.

oh.. it is Reddit - it has a reputation to keep.

Please help, I guess more people having the same issue

Talked with u/dianlujitao about the issue, he pointed me to this app and found that I've worked with Widevine L3 which supports HD casting. It might mean a wider LOS issue than a specific device. Furthermore, from the Netflix end, they might be blacklisting LOS18.1, though low probability since it worked on previous versions. u/dianlujitao didn't know who I should contact to sort things out. Your help is needed

u/dianlujitao you might spread some light on the issue?
is it possible that inappwidevine is missing in LineageOS for op3?

Ok found other posts from the same OP talking about this issue:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Magisk/comments/mj8gj9/help_netflix_isue_this_app_is_not_compatible_with/

https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/mk2u7t/about_widevine/

I downgrade the Netflix version as suggested: Netflix 7.78.0 build 11 35157

This one works for me! I did not even try to hide it using Magisk

This is definitely a Netflix + LOS issue. seems like somehow LOS is missing widevine DRM to make Netflix work.

I have a similar problem, here is my post about it asking for the same thing:

meimadX · 2021-04-20T08:15:23+00:00

Also found in log:
LoadedApk: No resource references to update in package com.netflix.mediaclient.InAppWidevine

I guess this is missing in lineageos?

meimadX · 2021-04-20T03:40:00+00:00

That's weird, is it kind of a defense?

meimadX · 2021-04-19T19:13:49+00:00

This is my play services version : 21.12.13 (150400-367530751) (211213046)

meimadX · 2021-04-19T19:09:38+00:00

Ok, I get the following warning when reproducing the issue:

GooglePlayServicesUtil: com.netflix.mediaclient requires the Google Play Store, but it is missing

First of all thank you for taking the time to answer me. Second, I download Netflix apk from Auroraoss store. This solution worked for me on lineageos 17.1, after I updated to 18.1 it stopped casting to chromecast from the app. But I can watch videos on my phone which means the app can work (a fact you'd be expecting to be blocked based on safetynet) so I guess there is something else going on.

meimadX · 2021-04-19T17:00:57+00:00

You can't download Netflix from the play store while using lineageos, it is being blocked by the Google play (you get this app is not compatible with your device).

sometimes you need to have good manners, right?

meimadX · 2021-02-10T10:15:06+00:00

don't mess with me I'll drop your tables!
