Hello,
Is it somehow possible to configure and use Siri (iOS - Iphone XR) to directly play any movie on netflix on apple TV (4K) or LG OLED C9?
I do use airplay, but when trying to use commands like "play"/"watch" movie using siri then it simply "does not know" and opens the web.
Thank you for your help,
Zoltan
Hello zoltanfrombratislava,
We're happy to help you with getting Siri to control Netflix on your Apple TV. This can be accomplished using AirPlay 2 and HomeKit. Get started with the steps here:
Ask Siri to play and control video from your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Let us know if you have any questions, or run into any trouble.
Have a great day!
Hi Zoltan,
Thanks for the follow-up info. Do you have Siri enabled in either of these apps? Find the steps to check, and enabled if needed here:
Use Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
The guidance you need is located under "Change search settings".
We hope this helps you.
Cheers!
Hello Ryane,
Sorry for long delay. Yes, siri is enabled on all of the apps. Still without luck, but I found out, that when I use play audio, then it works. Simply starting a song and telling siri to "play this on.." runs the music on the other device using airplay.
But when I run any video, and ask siri to play it on airplay, she tells me there is nothing such in music library.
So its with when I try to use other commands like to play a movie or watch something or "Find Bird box on Netflix" it just searches on the web.
Not sure, if this is due to location restrict, or something else.
Thank you for the information and for your help.
Do you have any ideas, what I should check, why siri is searching the web instead of playing the video on apple tv?
The only thing I noticed is, that when I open netflix on iphone and clicking on the icon to share the video, I have only "lg tv" and not the "living room".
