Netflix always prompts for profile

Bear on the job · Jan 22, 2014

Every time I open the Netflix app, I am prompted to choose a profile before continuing. How do I choose a default profile that will always be used when the app starts?

Alternatively, you could setup up multiple users on your single Netflix account. That way, you can always stay signed in on your Xbox, & she can choose her individual profile for Netflix.

Netflix = Disconnections from Xbox Live

I can use the Xbox for gaming, watching Crackle, Zune, listening to music, etc. Works great.

As soon as I try to use Netflix, I start to have issues. First, it prompts me to switch profiles or Upgrade to Gold (even though I already have a Gold membership). I switch profiles to the SAME DAMN PROFILE I'M ALREADY LOGGED INTO, and it connects.

I can then browse movies for a while before then being disconnected from Xbox Live (content stops loading, I close Netflix and receive a message that I was disconnected from Xbox Live). This will happen while browsing or streaming, but ONLY AN ISSUE WITH
NETFLIX.

I can test the connection and have to disconnect and reconnect, then it works again unless I go to Netflix.

So, what is the fix? Yes, I've removed Netflix and re-downloaded. I know the connection is fine because it is connected just fine except when using Netflix. I can also use PC's on the network for Netflix without issue.

The issue is simply Netflix and Xbox....which is the only method I want to use for Netflix.

G'day all! You can set up separate profiles for your Netflix account now. Log in at Netflix.com and hover over your account in the top right. Select "Manage Profiles" from the dropdown. Click "Add Profile" on the next page, enter a name and click the checkbox
for making a kid's profile. Complete the process by adjusting that profile's settings.

Back on your console, sign in to your Netflix app and enter the passcode. Next you should be prompted to select a profile. The new kids' profile you just made should appear. Enjoy!
