I spent too muchtime trying to figure out why they would do casting (like in casting actors for their shows) from a phone.
People still using Netflix and not torrenting everything?
No problem. I already killed having a Netflix account - too American.
Casting support is still available on older Chromecast devices or TVs that support Google Cast natively, according to Netflix’s support page, but only for subscribers on pricier ad-free plans, which start from $17.99 per month. Netflix users with an ad-supported subscription ($7.99 per month) will be unable to cast from their phones even if they own legacy Chromecast devices.
Scummy
Yup. Limitation just 'cause. Capitalism at work.
This is gross. This costs them nothing. Enshittification manifest
It costs them more to add config to disable on different plans. So dumb.
But how much does it earn them back? Pennies? Doesn’t matter, it’s worth it to them. Even if USA is ending production and Canada stopped years ago.
That’s fine, for a everything else there is jellyfin
That’s fine, for those that have media. Most people don’t, and don’t want to. I use Plex, have to look at jelly fin.
Meanwhile I’m still able to cast anything from my Plex server 😏
Jellyfin too. How odd!
Just wait until the Plex execs learn about this…
Plex is already starting to add subscriptions for BS reasons.
I bought my Lifetime license more than 10 years ago… doesn’t mean they can’t rug pull tho 😬
It was already half-dead. Cheapest subscription already had it disabled. I know cause my wife (no idea why) pays for netflix cheapest subscription and she cant use her account on any devices but one or else it will not play anything. Casting didnt work cause this somehow counts as “another device”… Tested on Chromecast 2
Teach her the wonders of Jellyfin and Stremio
And usenet or a VPN
I run Jellyfin but we have already seen 90% of it. I have managed to setup a fully automated Arr stack with Jellyseer but need to deploy rpi3 in my homeland that will act as a VPN so the country I am in wouldn’t bite my ass with a huge fine for torrenting stuff.
Other than that, we do use Myflixer a ton. She, in fact, is primary user. Thing is, Myflixer is English and Netflix is in local language which even I find it being better for both of us since we are foreigners. This is the reason I have set an Arr stack so I can download movies in local language. But I have to figure out how to get in local private torrent trackers.
Also, I am watching my Jellyfin instance as I type this comment :)
Corporate Execs: “How can we enshitify this service even more?”
“i know let’s reboot temu the voice and fill it with ads and d-list celebrities!”
Don’t give them ideas… Not that I care, I’m not subbed to this shit.
oh believe me i couldn’t make it up if i tried: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24r8eieXLj0
Shits coming more and more full circle. Netflix peaked around covid, then enshitification has just intensified since.
It peaked around 2015 or so and has been on a downward spiral since.
I hope more and more people cancel their netflix subscriptions, then either they change back to when it was good, or die.
The streaming industry is doomed to fail anyway.
I hope so.
I’d love to cancel mine but I did that already in 2015 lol
Good.
When I read the headline without context, I thought casting directors were just casting actors unseen over the phone.
But this is worse.torbox + stremio ftw
💩
Oh wow really? Casting kinda sucked anyways. Why I moved away from Chromecast after so many issues trying to pause or reconnect to it
That might be true, but it’s still an enshittification that isn’t excusable.
