Netflix incompatible with Chinese TV-Boxes or Root devices, how to solve it

Since a few days ago we had comments from our users that suddenly have Netflix incompatible in the Google Play store and Android TV-Box device cant install this app directly.

As it seems this is not exclusive to TV-Boxes since even on premium branded phones with the bootloader unlocked or with root access active also suffer from this incompatibility problem. Read this guide to solve this issue with some easy steps.

NETFLIX NOT COMPATIBLE PROBLEM

During the tests we have been able to perform on the Android TV Boxes that we have available Netflix incompatible in Google Play with any TV-Box since it is not a certified device that complies with the regulations imposed by Google for this software, it does not matter whether we are root or not. As we can see if we do a normal Netflix search on Google Play on any TV-Box the application does not appear in the results and only show us apps that have an indirect relationship.

  • The exact error message is: Your device isn’t compatible with this version.

The same applies mark as Netflix incompatible to smartphones and tablets that have the bootloader unlocked, something which of course has not liked anything to the international scene. Luckily this limitation is not critical because Netflix itself tells us which is the appropriate solution to continue to see content, something that will never completely limit.

Thank you so much, I managed to make Netflix work, finally! You gave me some real help here.
Btw I’ve tried all versions from lower to higher, at the end it worked for me with v. 6.22. At first after I downloaded apk from the link, I tried to install it but it said something about invalid package. Then I tried to download again and then installation went fine, as well as the video playback in Netflix. Kudos!

Kim

Great, glad to help you.
Have a nice day.
