Any word on why Netflix has disappeared from the Google TV app?

by 11tracer

Just noticed this today myself. Seems like others have as well but I can't find any real news or word from Google about it. Do we have any idea if it's a bug or if they're actually removing Netflix? I really hope it's not the latter - that would be incredibly disappointing.

Doubt they’d completely remove it with a dedicated button on the remote. But, you can no longer add/remove Netflix originals on your watchlist, at least through the chromecast with Google tv. Definitely frustrating.

Just checked and it's gone for me too (in the US). Weird, hope there's some official explanation soon.

So did this resolve itself yet for those affected? I would love to know whats happening here (its fine for me in Canada)

I would assume Netflix wasn't happy about people browsing through Google TV - they want to keep you constantly browsing through their own app.

I just miss the ability to search and see what service something is on (including stuff that's on Netflix).

Thank you for posting about this. I wasn't sure if it was just me. I've been checking online and reddit for weeks now.

It's the deep-links wars we went through 20 years ago with web pages deep-linking tunes from music services. That worked out great, right?
