When will the NETFLIX app be addressed and fixed?

I'm finding the Netflix app to be subpar when compared to Roku 3 or ATV3. The issue is with the audio.

The X1 sends all audio to your AVR in a predetermined number of audio channels. For example, if you set the X1 to decode in 7.1 if you playback a source (whether it's blu-ray, Netflix, etc.) with less than 7.1 channels the X1 will still send it to
your AVR in a 7.1 wrapper. For example, if you tried to stream a movie with stereo 2.0 from Netflix your receiver will see it as 7.1, but what it's actually getting is two audio channels with audio information and 5.1 dummy channels. As well, the Netflix interface
is worse than either the ATV3 interface and the common interface found on other devices such as the PS3, PS4, XBOX 360, etc.

This is hugely problematic because it prohibits post-processing by the AVR such as DPLIIx which would ordinarily be used to matrix the 2.0 stream into 7.1. For this reason, nobody with surround sound should be using an X1 to stream anything. Hopefully
Microsoft will address this issue.

Netflix 4K Streaming

Wow, I didn't realize that it stated that on the app page. Shocking..this needs to be addressed and fixed ASAP. I wonder if people starting tweeting at Netflix and Microsoft if things would move quicker

 

No longer able to snap Netflix

Hey there, Mr XBob! Any inquiries as to why a feature was removed needs to be addressed by the developer of the app. In this case, you will want to
reach out to Netflix for more information on this.
