Q: Netflix's Error Message. & Can Apple TV 2016 Search Netflix's -- and Stream Netflix??

I'm sorry to ask such a basic question but when trying to find this out I see many conflicting opinions and problems.

 

The Big One is that Netflix's won't even play on my Apple computer. I get this error message all the time.

Re: Error Message: I don't have Airplay (just Time Capsule). Don't know why my 2013 iMac might not be HDCP   compliant. Running iMac at 2048x1152 resolution.

 

!?

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11), Camera, music gear, Wacom tablet.

    Thank you for your helpful reply...but when I read this on the netflix site you gave the link to: This:

    "On most devices, Netflix lets you browse through rows of movies and TV shows, including a row dedicated to your My List selections. Each row represents a category (Comedy, Drama, TV shows, etc) that we present to you based on what you’ve watched." --  I'm still not sure Apple TV will do the cool thing I want.  It says I can browse but I don't want it to just browse,

     

    I want to say to Apple TV, "Find me a movie about Time Travel, made in the last year, set in Europe,"

    not just browse MyList.

     

    Do you know, can Apple TV do cool searches like that (underlined, above) ?

    You should be able to watch NFlix on your Mac, I can on a 2009 laptop (Macbook Pro)

     

    Read the link provided by Carolyn, post back if you need to.

    No, it can't, you may search by name or category etc but not boolean, like Google or a TiVo can.
