Netflix app for ipod touch not working - gray screen
I downloaded the netflix app today, but when I open the program it loads the netflix welcome screen then the screen goes gray and nothing happens. How do I get netflix to work on my 2nd generation ipod touch? I am running iOS4.
I have the exact same problem. I have an Ipod Touch 64 gb. Running iOS4. Deleted and reinstalled the application twice now. I get the red netflix screen then I go to grey screen and nothing happens. All other applications run fine and I am connected to the internet fine.
If the screen goes gray that means the app is non responsive.
The developer may have not tested the app for long enough you should just wait until they fix the mistakes in an update.
What worked for me on my 2nd gen Ipod touch was to set the time correctly. My clock was about 4 mins fast, after setting the clock on the touch to current time, the app worked.
A friend from work came up with this, but I forgot to ask him how he came across it. I think his Ipad was working then stopped and he didn't change anything and figured out the time was off.
If most people are having a time issue it makes sense that mostly ipod touchs' are affected, since the iphone should sync its time via cellular magic and the touchs' don't do this.
I guess the netflix app is doing some sort of authentication and the time being off causes it issues.
Glad someone found this information to be useful, pass it along.
Excellent! Changing the time manually allows netflix to work properly. Unfortunately, for some reason my ipod touch keeps automatically reverting back to the wrong time and netflix stops working. Then I reset the time and netflix works again. Any suggestions?
