Clear key to exit Netflix

It was a design change in the latest version of the software. 'Clear' no longer works to exit. It's "Back" or "Zoom" now, can't remember which right now.

 

Really? Thank the Tivo gods. Cannot tell how many times I went to clear the progress bar and accidentally dumped from the app. Is it just Netflix?

 

Should be all apps.

 

I habitually use the "Tivo" button, but thought I had read somewhere on here previously about the app exit button being changed recently. Maybe I'm just confused.

 

Clear worked for me last night on the mini. I always use the Tivo button but tried the clear button just to see.

 

Ugh, yeah, 'Clear' isn't working for me, either. I'm on 20.5.2a.

So now it's serial 'Back' presses and navigating over to 'Exit Netflix', or TiVo'ing out to TiVo Central, then My Shows, and finding my way back to the episode.

That said, one drawback w/ the Netflix app integration, even before the 'Clear' button was disabled, was that the TiVo UI doesn't really know if you use auto-play to play several episodes within the Netflix app, so 'Clear'-ing out wasn't always perfect, either.

 

Ah, got it. Good way to mark a video as "watched," absent an actual 'Watched' flag and associated Hide/Show UI mechanism. I don't consider this an option in our multi-viewer household, absent user profiles allowing each user their own control over the listing.

The only thing more aggravating than the inconsistent controls between all the various apps on the TiVo is this sort of random feature disruption.

 

I still use OnePass as a quick bookmark for Netflix series I'm working through, or for old series rehash, and launch the Netflix app via a OnePass episode entry. Often, though, once I'm in a given series, I navigate to the subsequent episodes within the Netflix app -- though I have auto-play disabled.*

 

Yep, "clear" just worked for me. Until I caught this old thread I always wondered if there was a short cut to exit netflix.

With Amazon prime video clear does not work. But several presses of the return (circle with arrow key) eventually exits!

 

I also noticed last night while in netflix if I press the Tivo button it takes me right out of netflix and onto the Tivo Central home page.

I don't know if thats because of a Tivo or netflix update or if it always did it?

Yep, just tried it again while a movie was playing and it went right to the Tivo Central screen.

Doesn't do it with Amazon Prime movie streaming.

If this all has already been mentioned . . . forget all of the above

 

The tivo button always drops you out of the app, for all apps. Always has.
