Blog: A few quick thoughts on the announced Netflix redesign.

It’s like the old saying goes, “There are only two ways to redesign streaming interfaces: moving top row navigation to side bars, and side bar navigation to top rows.”

Netflix Is Testing an Even Worse Home View

@joesteel Hi Joe, while it is not obvious at all, you can turn off auto play video for Netflix. You have to log into the website, go to settings there and disable for each profile separately. I turned them off years ago and it makes it much more pleasant. And it makes no sense that you have to go to the website, very user hostile.

@Elwray Yeah I linked to the instructions. It doesn’t work on my Apple TV if I hover over a title. Nothing I’ve ever been able to do gets rid of it.

@joesteel Sorry, hoped that would help. I find it so annoying when at a family members home and it auto plays. But I am using an AppleTV, it’s not the absolute newest version, but does have the newer non-touch surface remote, and it does not auto play on my profile. Anyway, hope you can figure it out.
