If you see an error that says
We're having trouble playing this title right now
It usually means that a network connectivity issue is preventing your device from reaching Netflix, or that there's a problem with the title itself. This error message is sometimes triggered when a TV show or movie becomes frozen at a 25% loading screen. Follow the troubleshooting steps for your device below to resolve the issue.
If you see a different error message, or if your error message is followed by an error code, search our Help Center for the error message or code you're experiencing (for example, "unable to connect to Netflix" or "ui-1111").
