I'm getting real sick of your shit, Netflix
(i.ibb.co)
No such issues with Plex/Jellyfin.
Or Stremio.
Are you implying something here?
Oh man, since setting up my Plex server, I almost never use streaming services anymore. I mostly just keep them because my wife is obsessed with true crime shows and I don't have any of those on my Plex server.
So... Download them.
You can turn this off but it can only be done from a computer or on a phone using desktop view..
While logged into Netflix on a browser, you'll need to follow these steps:
- Account
- Pick your profile under profile and parental controls
- Change playback settings
- Uncheck the 2nd box for autoplaying previews
Isn't that just for stopping the previews only when hovering over a title from the home screen, for instance? Doesn't that exclude when you open the page for a show/movie, like to read it's synopsis/cast? (the point the OP is making)
To my memory, there is still no option to stop the auto-start.
I tested it in the iPhone app and it doesn't autoplay when clicking on the link. Maybe that's just mobile and not web/TV apps
It has to be to artificially inflate the number of views their shows are getting. Just auto-play every single fucking thing a person hovers over and your shows will never stagnate.
We unsubscribed a while back, but that was one of my biggest gripes with the platform.
From the company that complained too many people were using their serivce
My pet peeve is when a show or movie ends and they immediately try to play a trailer for another show. I actually enjoy reading the credits! Or maybe I'm looking for the mid- or post-credits scenes. Either way, they give me like 10 seconds or less to cancel the next preview.
I hate when I pause to read subtitles or something on the screen and it's filled with overlays like "Did you like, love, or not for me this?"
Ugh I get this with The Boys Amazon. I want to hear the outro damnit
For real, I hate having the conversation about the movie I just watched with someone drowned out with a trailer for some shitty original.
I love when you pause a video and Netflix decides to load the next and start playing anyways. Because of how slow their app is to update the controls I end up just disconnecting and closing the app to stop it.
Unsubscribe.
