You definitely know it, your new one smart TV box you finally set it up, start it and want to watch your favorite series on Netlifx. However, this application displays an error message and does not work. This is our guide on how to fix it.
How to start Netflix in a few easy steps?
Even though you have the Android operating system installed in your smart TV box and you have an application store available Google Play, it still does not mean that you will also have access to the popular streaming platform Netflix.
It seems that this problem does not even only affect TV boxes, but also premium branded Android devices with unlocked bootloader or with active root access. If you want to solve this incompatibility problem, we have one useful tip for you.
Problem with Netflix
Android TV boxes usually have a problem with Netflix due to the fact that it is not a certified device that complies with the regulations set by Google. In this case, it is not a problem with root access.
The app simply won't show up in the app store search results. Google Play will only show you applications that are indirectly related to the name of this service.
The exact error message is: "This application is not compatible with your device. You can download a compatible version from the Netflix website.”
The same applies to problems with smartphones and tablets that have an unlocked bootloader. However, even this problem is not insurmountable, and we will look at how to successfully bypass this limitation.
Step by step: How to install Netflix on any device
First of all, you need a mouse or other type of cursor to control Netflix. On your Android device, open Settings, Security, and Unknown sources
Apps available to watch Netflix on unofficial device models:
- netflix v3.9.1 .apk for Android 4.0+, up to 854 × 480 pixels
- Netflix v4.16 b200147 .apk for Android 4.4+, maximum compatibility, up to 854 × 480 pixels
- netflix v6.26 .apk for Android 5.0+ which will offer up to 960 x 540 pixels
- The latest official version of Netflix, can offer up to 960 x 540 pixels or more
To play on Android TV, you need one of the apps above. 4K and HD resolutions are limited to Netflix-certified devices
Once the download is complete, install the .apk file using a file browser (for Android TV is available e.g. X-Plore or Solid Explorer)
After installation, you can use the Netflix application in a completely standard way. However, the app will not be updated using the Google Play Store because it will be marked as incompatible with that device. You can check the quality of the stream e.g. using the title "Test Patterns".
These are the smart TV boxes you can buy to play content:

Hi, I've had an x96Q TV box for two months, but since 15.7/11 it says that support for Netflix has ended. Is it possible to get around it somehow? Android has 1300, so it meets the condition. I bought it because of that. Both devices cost about XNUMX, - thank you for the answers.
