Netflix app stopped opening a couple of days ago.

 

- When highlighted in the smart hub, no preview shows

- When enter pressed to open app, loading indicator appears for a moment and the smart hub re-opens

 

 

Have tried

 

- Smart hub reset

- Full reset

- Power cycle (at plug, and removing from back of TV)

- Reinstalling app

- Turning off `open last app' in settings

- Changing router DNS to Google (8.8.8.8)

- Restarting router

 

All other devices can stream netflix, and use router. All other apps on TV work fine

 

TV Details:

 

- Model code: QE55Q6FNA

- Software version: T-KTM2DEUC-1025.0, BT - S

 

New TV, very frustrating, please advise?

A few days ago my Netflix refused to load. I've been reading loads of forums etc and trying all the suggestions but it still doesn't work. Don't know what to do now. Qe55q7fna premium TV and this happens. No problem with netflix on any other devices on the same network.

If it worked ok before and then stops working I would suggest it is a fault with the TV.  Report it as a fault to your retailer. @Eamon wrote:

I called customer service (HK) and they replied that they have got a couple of reports on this issue.  They said they have reported to Samsung headquarters.  We and they can do nothing but wait for the upgraded firmware for fixing this issue.

Indeed my guess it is the firmware that needs to be updated by samsung for the Q6F to support netflix asap or get upgrade for free to higher model that is working :).

Got exactly the same, tried the same things to solve it and doesn't work.

 

Did anyone already found a solution for this?

 

Model: QE55Q7F 2018

Software version 1025

Is everybody who is experiencing this issue using software version 1025?

 

Would be good if Samsung could acknowledge the issue in this thread and give some estimate of when the next version release is planned?

Finally after many hours wasted the solution is to go to the samsung website https://www.samsung.com/hk_en/support/model/QA49Q6FNAJXZK/#downloads

which ever model you have, download and save the upgrade file version 1131.0 (or above), Unzip the compressed folder  (you should see a file "upgrade.msd") and save to USB or external drive of enough capacity.

Then connect USB or external drive to your TV via USB port --> click on the TV settings --> Support --> Software update -->Update manually. Then it will detect and find the firmware file from the USB port and start to download it (you will see the upgrade progress on your screen), 30 seconds later, all are back in place and you can click on Netflix app and sign in again. Enjoy your shows.

@nathanpower: There's a later software version (1153.3) available for download for your model here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/QE55Q6FNATXXU/. Can you install that and let us know how it goes?
