Netflix not working with Pro Custom Firmware on Q5pro

[bohorne]

Hello,

can someone confirm or help me out with the fact that Netflix is not working on my Q5Pro with Pro Custom Firmware 2.04? I always get the message that the installed version is not compatible. Is there a solution?

The pre-installed Netflix will crash after playing the first video, so it works but very badly.

Starting a few weeks ago, Netflix removed itself from Play Store on many Android boxes. It is now not available in Play Store for Q5/Q10 Pro.

Latest version 5.2.1, available from apk mirror sites installs but give a 15001 error when opened.

There is some information here about what might be going on:

So nobody really knows what Netflix are doing or why.

This is the same issue I encountered. Netflix launched with the preinstalled app on 2.0.4 at some point. I am on 2.0.1 CFW with the latest Netflix and it is working as it should.

It is not related. Back then I could not install Netflix from Playstore, but I started sideloading it from APKMIrror and it continued to work. I was also on CFW 2.0.1. I am still on your CFW 2.0.1 and Netflix is working.
