Just recently: Netflix will no longer play - anyone else?

Whether using the USB media connection or bluetooth, I have always been able to get my iPhone XS Max to play a video's audio through the C43's speakers. This included youtube, amazon prime, hulu and netflix. Over the past few weeks, however, netflix no longer works. It keeps instantly pausing as soon as I hit play when I run it through the USB connection. When I use bluetooth, similar behavior and the screen says "your content is paused" or something similar to that.

Is anyone else experiencing something similar with their C43s? Any idea what changed? Anyone fix it?

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply! I believe I am in that mode as Amazon prime, Hulu, YouTube all work fine.

Yup. Same thing started happening to me in my C450. It started about 2 weeks ago where Netflix plays for 3 seconds then stops. I've tried Bluetooth as well to no avail. Hulu and Amazon prime video are fine, but Netflix stopped working.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one, but sad you are experiencing this as well. Perhaps I need to cross-post to a netflix forum as it seems to be solely a problem with that app.
