Nov 16, 2015 4:07 PM in response to Mitch Stoneby Protodd,I've noted this as well. It doesn't appear that Netflix app is have a full "conversration" with the online settings. I would recommend (like I did) to send feedback to Netflix so they can update their ATVapp...

Nov 16, 2015 4:38 PM in response to Protoddby Mitch Stone,Netflix doesn't seem to have an easy way to send them any feedback. I've searched all through our account settings and can't find it. Even their online chat is currently unavailable so I would have to call them apparently,
Also, it is unclear if the "play next episode automatically" setting is even the correct one to control this "feature." They seem to treat the auto-play feature as separate from the one that reduces the image to a postage stamp.

Nov 16, 2015 4:54 PM in response to Mitch Stoneby Protodd,Using the link below, I called Netflix to report the issue. The tech I spoke with seemed to correlate to the auto play setting online. She took the bug report and sent to escalations. they would not be able to provide me with a status update. My feeling is the more people that report it the more likely it would be updated...

Nov 17, 2015 9:45 AM in response to Protoddby Mitch Stone,Yes, that's what I was saying: to report a bug in their software you have to call them, as they provide no web form for it, and the online chat is down (and has been for days). I will give them a call when I get a chance. If anyone has any news or updates on this, please post them here.

Dec 10, 2015 11:00 AM in response to Mitch Stoneby bradfromvacaville,I have to completely agree with the original poster. Very annoying.
I actually like the credits to roll at the end of a show, not a force to get me to watch another. Will watch Netflix with my FireTV from now on until Apple or Netflix fixes this.
Seems the copyright holders of the shows would insist the credits be available to watch to the end... but they are certainly not. Turn off the 'annoyance' in Netflix and you get the same thing... postage stamp, episode cuts off before it finishes and the next one rolls... in other words the the Netflix choice is not seems by Apple TV.
Why anyone would call this a feature is beyond me.

Dec 11, 2015 6:59 PM in response to bradfromvacavilleby Mark Holoubek,★HelpfulI can report some progress. The Netflix app was updated today. The bad news? It still goes to post-play. The good news is you can select the "postage-stamp" frame to go back to fullscreen, but you need to do that each time. I already contacted Netflix support and they'll get rid of the last bug next version.
cheers

Dec 11, 2015 7:02 PM in response to Mark Holoubekby Mitch Stone,This is the same behavior as before the ATV4 so at least we are back to where we were previously. Some progress... or not regress! Thanks!

Dec 11, 2015 10:20 PM in response to Mark Holoubekby bradfromvacaville,Awesome, thanks! I noticed it last night. After seeing it I went to another show and it did the same thing. GREAT!
thanks to those who contacted Netflix support.
Awesome!

Dec 11, 2015 10:53 PM in response to bradfromvacavilleby Mitch Stone,Here's a wrinkle. I tried the Netflix app tonight assuming that the apps update automatically. No, they don't. Not only do they not update automatically, unlike the iPhone, iPad and Mac, the ATV app store does not even show you which apps can be updated. The only way to find them is to navigate to the Purchased Apps tab, select the app, then look for an update button. If it's there, you can update. If it isn't you can't. Pretty lame.

Dec 12, 2015 7:18 AM in response to Mitch Stoneby Mark Holoubek,Actually, if you go into the App settings, you can set to update automatically.

Dec 12, 2015 9:16 AM in response to Mark Holoubekby Mitch Stone,It was already set to update apps automatically, which I assumed it was doing -- but it did not happen in this case. Maybe if I'd given it another day? Either way if you want to be sure that an app has updated, the only way I can find to check and force the update is to do it manually, one app at a time.
-
Dec 12, 2015 9:43 AM in response to Mitch Stoneby Protodd,I see a blue dot on many of my apps on a daily basis showing that they were recently updated. I think it does the late night/early morning updates on a regional basis - it was probably a timing issue. But as you point out you can "force" the update...
