Then - why does Netflix run on other 'SmartTV Alliance' platforms like on the Philips tv's?

I guess that is because Philips' hardware and software platforms are compatible with the Netflix client while B&O's is not.

The B&O media platform is a application platform embedded in the hardware of the TV. This platform allows developers and publishers to build apps made available preloaded on the TV, all built on this media platform. Each integration with a manufacturer takes on different aspects to expose a consistent user interface to the consumer. Netflix app is a native code executable made available trough the (mostly flexible) architecture of a media platform. From a consumer perspective, Netflix is seen as an “app”, but in this case the physical implementation is probably different. Normally Netflix owns the app along with all features and implementation, so they have to make changes as they own the app and code. The question is:

- Is B&O willing to give there platform architecture to Netflix or any other (Hulu, Amazon,...) so they can do the necessary implementation?

- Is Netflix, as an owner of the app & code leave it to B&O to do the necessary rewriting for their native app to implement it?

Probably its not so easy as we think to get Netflix as app on our B&O screens. My guess for the implementation : Don’t compare B&O with Philips, LG, Sony, etc… It’s  a small player and therefore a no priority with Netflix. Let us all wait and and watch regularly the media player setup for this app.

I am certainly not 'comparing' - just trying to understand 🙂

My deep sincere apologies if you get this personal Mille, I was in now way to offend you. I say to me.

EDIT: By the way, did you watched lately the Mediaviewer on your V1. Belgium is now with the most apps, I'm expecting soon Netflix for us 😐

I suppose it would be nice to have it native on the set, especially as the B&O way is to minimize external boxes but if you are going to have a BluRay player it becomes kind of a so what. I have Netflix on both my Panasonic TV and my Oppo BR player. Unfortunately, I've not been able to successfully get the audio return on the TV to send sound to the AVR I'm using for sound duty, so I watch Netflix via the BR player.

Interfaces are identical. Picture quality and such are identical.

it takes a lot more to offend me - so no, I did not understand it that way 🙂

What do you mean by 'the Mediaviewer on your V1' ?

If you mean the 'WebMedia'? Then no, I tried that a couple of times in the beginning - since then never again.

I know there can be other/different app's, if you choose another country - but I don't know which ones from which country?

Yes, I mean the webmedia.

Look at the Netherlands, they have the most apps. Take a look also at 'Conditions' in the startscreen of WebMedia, here is written that WebMedia is a platform belonging to TP Vision -Holland.

A search for TP Vision on the net shows that it is the owner of Philips? TP Vision brought Netflix in september 2013 on their Philips Smart TV platform next to You Tube and Videoland On Demand. Right now You Tube is on the apps for my country, so my guess is Netflix and Videoland On Demand will be soon?!

At present it seems Netflix has no plans for my country, but I can already hire movies and series from Videoland On Demand with a Belgian account on my desktop, tablet...

I read the news today, oh boy!

Seems that from now on a lot more B&O-tv users will be asking for a Netflix app.

If you would like to access 4K content from Netflix, you have to use the app - this will perhaps change with the new Apple TV rumoured to be released this summer, but for now no external boxes can provide Netflix 4K content...
