"The change began rolling out a few weeks ago, and user frustration is mounting. On Reddit, there's a growing thread of Netflix subscribers saying they are canceling their subscription because of this change to the Apple TV app."
"Did Netflix mess up the app? There are two extra clicks for a simple 10s rewind or fast forward. Instead of it going back 10s in one click, now it pauses and brings up the frame selector, and then you have to click again."
"One of my most-used tvOS video player features is the ability to tap the Siri Remote to see when what I'm currently watching will end. That feature is gone in Netflix as part of this change."
"Netflix's motivation was consistency across platforms. Netflix largely uses a custom video player across all of its platforms, so the Apple TV was an exception."
Netflix has replaced the native tvOS video player in its Apple TV app with a custom player, leading to user frustration. This change complicates basic functions like rewinding and fast-forwarding, requiring extra clicks. Users also lose access to features like Enhanced Dialogue and playback controls via the Apple TV Remote app. Many subscribers are expressing their dissatisfaction on Reddit, with some considering canceling their subscriptions. Netflix has not publicly explained the reasoning behind this change, but sources suggest it aims for consistency across platforms.
